Interview with NixMix | Audio Engineer

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  2. A: My favorite project I’ve worked on is “Pat” an album by my client Woocitypat. I executively mixed and mastered the whole thing as well as helped with video production and cover art.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: I’m finishing up a hip-hop project for a client. Currently in the mastering stages

  5. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  6. A: I’m very new to SoundBetter so I don’t know anyone on here yet, but I’m looking to build and connect with other creatives.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: I prefer digital, because that’s what I’ve learned on and I can’t afford an analog set up yet haha.

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

  10. A: My promise is that you will get the best of my work every single time. I don’t cut corners or rush the process.

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

  12. A: Bringing the clients vision to life. Nothing better than giving the artist exactly what they’re looking for and seeing them get good feedback on their record.

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

  14. A: The most common question in my inbox is always “how much?” Or “can you mix this by tomorrow” I have a website with all my pricing on it, and rushing a mix ends up hurting the artist more than anything.

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

  16. A: When I tell people I’m an audio engineer, and that I mix music, they automatically think I “oh so you make beats” NO I make the song sound better haha.

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

  18. A: I ask what qualities of the record they want to stand out, what sound they’re looking for, as well as any additional preferences.

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

  20. A: When hiring an engineer, always explain what sound you’re looking for, and any specific requests prior to sending the files. Also, sending a reference track helps make our job easier.

  21. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  22. A: I’ve been doing freelance audio work for 5 years now. I went to college at Full Sail and learned a lot about the industry and how to mix by the books. I found that my experience in both has made my sound original!

  23. Q: How would you describe your style?

  24. A: My style is clarity driven. I like a natural sounding vocal that compliments the instrumental. Sometimes engineers over process vocals and it interferes more than compliments a track.

  25. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  26. A: It’s hard to pick just one, but my favorite artist growing up was Eminem so definitely him. He is a main reason I started listening to hip hop, and why I started pursuing the in’s and outs of music production.

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

  28. A: My tip for beginning engineers is to trust your ear. You don’t have to always work “by the books”. If it sounds good keep going!

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

  30. A: I usually work on hip-hop records, but I often do pop, alternative, reggae etc.

  31. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  32. A: My strong suit as an audio engineer is definitely vocal clarity. Vocals are the most important instrument on a record.

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

  34. A: I enhance the artists biggest standout qualities. I’m bringing the artists vision to life.

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

  36. A: I like to color code, and edit before mixing. If instrumental is stemmed out I work from the drums up.

  37. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  38. A: I mix in the box, so not too much analog equipment.. I run KRK Rokit 5’s for monitors, and Scarlett 18i20 for interface.

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

  40. A: Russ, Young Guru, Mixedbyali, Eminem, Drake

  41. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  42. A: Mixing & mastering
