Interview with Anand Dorian

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

  2. A: House, Funky House, Pop, EDM

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

  4. A: My typical work process firstly consists of involves organizing the stems in my DAW from top to bottom for better workflow and clarity. I start with the kick, percussion, bass (instruments or synths), followed by the melodic elements and vocals. Next, I edit, apply fade-ins and fade-outs if needed, and cut (or reduce as required) unnecessary frequencies that could mask important elements of the track. I carefully listen to the client's requests and focus on highlighting specific instruments and essential parts of the song. I clean up tracks as necessary, add color to elements that require it (before that part I make first a good balance of volume between all elements of the song), and aim to bring the music to life. To ensure a well-balanced mix, I use my main monitors, headphones, and secondary set of speakers to evaluate the sound across different listening systems.
