Q: What's your typical work process?

A: The work process varies depending on the specific service I'm working on. However, for any type of job, the overall workflow begins with an initial analysis of the genre and desired sonic elements necessary to make the track sound competitive within its genre. Following this, I carefully choose a set of reference tracks to serve as a guide throughout the production process. As I work on the project, I continuously process and reference the track, making adjustments and improvements along the way. This iterative approach continues until the project reaches its completion. To ensure the sonic quality translates well across different playback systems, I make it a point to reference the project's sonics on as many monitoring systems as possible. By doing so, I can confidently ensure that the sound will be consistent and enjoyable regardless of the playback environment.
