Mixing & Mastering Engineer

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Whatever it takes for music. After all, I have both when producing or mixing music. I prefer to use whichever sounds better and whichever is more appropriate. This situation varies a lot according to music or genres.

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

A: I started by playing the first instrument and concert. Then I started playing recordings in studios. Then I started writing and arranging music myself. After a while, I started recording and mixing myself. Now I spend half my time in synthesizers, electronic music and studio. I have been playing the instrument for 25 years. I have been playing professionally for 20 years. I have been making production and electronic music for 15 years. I have been mixing professionally for 8 years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I like to process sounds, transform them into another sound. In general, I like a strong, tough and in your face style. I love to hear a very big sound. Of course, the music itself always guides me more in my preferences. Even in an acoustic project, I like to use electronic and acoustic sounds together. I love what technology adds to music.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Respectively, first of all, a beautiful composition, the right tonality, a beautiful rich form, a beautiful arrangement with beautiful harmonies and a correct orchestration, good musicians, good quality and well tuned instruments, good musicians, a correct recording in a beautiful and correct room, correct microphones and the right microphone setups, good cable, the right electricity, a good listening room and listening system, a team that understands and works well, a studio where you feel good and has good equipment, choose good songs, edit and correct them correctly, then go to the mix. should be given. If everything is very good until here, it can progress very well in mixing. Otherwise, if the files you give are bad and have a small sound, it will not be very good when a compressor passes that sound very well.Everything you will do from here on is like making a make-up on the mistake. If the mixing went very well, now it's time for mastering. The fact that it passes very accurately at this stage will determine the fate of the project in the last step. As a result, when we look at the end of the work, in fact, a good job is a result that depends on how correctly all stages are done.
