Interview with Michael McDowell [Dowell]

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

  2. A: Probably my set for EDCNY. It was a ton of fun to pick out my songs + a bunch that I really enjoy and then play them out live. That set is available to download on my soundcloud :)

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

  4. A: Just finished up an EP for a producer signed to Armada. Was a ton of fun to work on, and was not my original style.

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

  6. A: Not at the moment.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Digital. Its what I grew up on, and most digital VST's can outperform analog if you know what you're doing.

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

  10. A: If you're unhappy, I will work until you are. And if not, I will give you a full refund!

  12. A: Doing what I love everyday!

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

  22. A: My widescreen monitor, My Monitors, My MacBook Pro, My Akai MPK261, and a pair of studio headphones.

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

  24. A: I started producing at age 16. Its been about 6+ years now, and since then I've gotten to produce for some BIG DJ's and play a few fantastic shows, including EDC.
