Interview with Eros Faulk
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Avalon 737 Avalon 737 Avalon 737 Avalon 737 Avalon 737 ...I love those things.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I would say my strongest skill is the way I focus my energy on how a song and mix feels emotionally. To me, the feeling is even more important and crucial and the technicality of the sonics. Music is inherently an emotional experience, and for me, mixing is a feeling based process. Through framing my work this way, I can bring out the most in your songs.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of my home studio and mix & master primarily "in the box." My studio is situated in the lush greenery of the PNW forests, which no doubt inspires my work, as I have a beautiful view of the woods at all times while I work. I mix on a newer Mac, and while my DAW of choice is Logic Pro, I am easily equipped to also work in Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Reaper, and Luna. I rely on my Universal Audio system for clean conversion and excellent plugins. I have a couple of tape machines that I often use in the mixing process to print tracks to for analog color or tape delay, and also have a beautiful high-ceiling, hard wood floored room in my home that I use often for re-amping.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love the wacky creative approaches that engineer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Kasey Musgraves) uses in his recordings and mixes, and am inspired by his use of revamping, tape saturation, and effects in my mixes. I also draw from the honest and intimate sounds engineer Phillip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Hand Habits). As far as musicians, I have a varied taste, ranging from Big Thief, to Tyler, The Creator, Otis Redding, and more!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I spend most of my time doing mixing or clients, with a precise ear and the goal to achieve their artistic vision. Mixing is a beautiful part of the creative process, and I tackle it with a curious ear. I have a lot of experience working with tracks recorded in all types of scenarios, from pro studios with expensive analog gear, to poorly treatment bedrooms with budget microphones, often all within the same song. I love making all these elements blend, and making the song and sonics pop and shine no matter what.
