Interview with Michael McDowell [Dowell]

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
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 :)
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
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.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not at the moment.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. Its what I grew up on, and most digital VST's can outperform analog if you know what you're doing.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: If you're unhappy, I will work until you are. And if not, I will give you a full refund!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Doing what I love everyday!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Will a good mix and master increase the overall sound of my track? YES. A quality mix / master can turn a decent song into a really good song.

A: That I only Mix & Master. I do mostly productions.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Come prepared with reference tracks, it makes this process faster and will help me create exactly what you're looking for!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My widescreen monitor, My Monitors, My MacBook Pro, My Akai MPK261, and a pair of studio headphones.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
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.

A: High energy, and new sounds.
