Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start off by talking to the client about their visions and goal. I listen to their song and analyse it. I listen out for frequency and dynamics improvements first. I try out various bits of my gear and pick the units that work best for the record. No two records are the same, so I am quite particular about using the right tools. I will make adjustments to enhance the songs overall feeling, but keeping the integrity of the song always. Everything I do is to be an improvement. I then will bring up the song to the right level using a limiting process.
