    Yet another project mixed and mastered successfully. Danang is quick and to the point with requests and revisions. I would recommend his services to anyone who would like to make remote mixing a stress-free experience.

    Danang is quick and accurate. He knows what he is doing. Another song, mix and mastered by him that did not really need any major revisions. He's also easy to talk to which helps a lot.

    Danang was so easy to work with. I gave him home recorded stems and he made the best out of them in one go. No revisions needed.
    I would definitely and gladly recommend him to anybody wanting to get the best out their tracks!

    Would had given 6 stars out of 5 if possible. Prompt, professional and one of the best out there. Wouldn't mind to pay more for his work. He has turn my music from a home studio project into a professional grade. Would continue to work with and recommend to anyone looking for a low budget but professional skill sets.

Interview with intheboxstudio

  1. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  2. A: both of them are great, and each has it own advantage, to try to make it works from both analog and digital is the real job. but in the very end, good mix is a good mix and the man behind the gun is what matter most, whether is came from 48ch SSL mixer or from cubase 5 with stock plugin

  3. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  4. A: acoustic guitar, ukulele, cajon, timpani, megaphone. then i'll make a band with spongebob, and sing in front of squidward house

  5. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  6. A: i will try hard to make your song sound better, i will try to make your drum sound bigger, your guitar sound wider, your vocal sounds cooler and in your face, and your song "radio ready"

  7. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  8. A: when my client smile when hearing the result of my works

  9. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  10. A: "where's the big bald mixer?", "i don't see any hardware here?!", "you mixing ONLY using computer???!" i just answered with my mixing mastering result

  11. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  12. A: that 100% in the box mixing is BAD, and you MUST always go 100% analog

  13. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  14. A: what do you want your song to be?

  15. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  22. A: i'd love to work with any artist from outside my country (Indonesia), because i want to broaden my skill and experience

  23. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  24. A: when you layered snare/kick with sample (using drumagog/aptrigga), always use the original sound with minimal 20-30% mix with the sample, never ever 100% replace the sound, because however bad the drum sound, it will bring more natural groove and feel into the song

  25. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  26. A: i mixed lot of genre, but most of my works is pop-rock-metal stuff

  27. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  28. A: my strongest skill is drum mixing, i can make bigger than life drum sound from plain and bored drum sound

  29. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  30. A: i'd try my best to bring some excitement into the song, also punch and tightness, in short : i'd try to make your song sound cooler

  31. Q: What's your typical work process?

  32. A: after i got the recording data, first i check it for any noticeable flaw, then i do some rough balance and send it to client for verification, then i'd start the editing-mixing-mastering after the client is confirm with the rough balance after i finish the song, i send it back to client for some revision

  33. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  34. A: Now my setup is 100% in the box, but with DSP card based plugin, UAD2 solo, and TC Powercore, with a lots of other plugin

  35. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
