  6. A: You will be happy with the result.

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

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

  10. A: Can you give me a Mix advice? Answer: Sure, it is part of my job and free!

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

  12. A: Better sound. Reduce unwanted things and excite the important parts.

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

  14. A: "Louder is better" Some styles definitely need a loud master, but today it is not important anymore to squash music too loud which destroys the musicality.

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

  16. A: Do you have references you like? When should the work finished? For what do you want to have masters (Online, Vinyl, CD, ..)

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

  18. A: My room and loudspeaker system, Forssell converter, Hendyamps Michelangelo, Culture Vulture

  20. A: Mastering since 12years, in the audio business since 2001

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

  24. A: I listen to a lot of high-quality records nearly every day so it changes. But I would definitely like to work with Goldfrapp or Björk.

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

  26. A: A lot of people can´t listen in their environment over some hours. The key to make it easier is to get rid of acoustic reflections like from: your desk and your front wall. Make a so called "mirror-test" to see where you should put some absorptive material.

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

  28. A: Pop, Rock, Synth-Pop, Singer-Songwriter, Metal, Electronic

  29. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  30. A: Hear what the song needs. Listen to finest things and never lose the overall view.

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

  32. A: Mix/files gets uploaded, then I take my time listen to it. In that time, I hear what it needs to push the song forward to the next level. In a way that the song itself benefits from the sound.

  33. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  34. A: Hybrid Analog/Digital setup for Mastering. Stem-Mastering via Analog Summing and a siderack full of equipment. Only highest quality analog equipment.
