  20. A: I start talking with my client, because I want to understad his vision as an artist, the sound that hes looking for and what`s the concept behind the song, behind the art an then we work on the mix or the beat.

  21. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  22. A: Normally, I make mix and mastering for my clients and as a producer I make beats, sound desing based on the client preferences, mix my own ideas with the client taste. I like to study the references from my clients because sometimes they like just a sound from a song or an FX and details for me are very important to get my clients get satisfied with the beat.

  23. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  24. A: I rent a professional studio to do my mixes but as a producer I use krk 5 monitors and a simple focusrite scarlett 2i2 the rest is all sound design even drums, I don't like to use too many library samples because it is very easy to fall into musical copies

  25. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  26. A: As a mixer I`m very inspired by Teezio, for me he`s number one not because the equipment he uses, it`s because I think that if youre a mixer you need to get inspired by the music you`re working on, and just apply things based on what the song needs not because its a rule. As a producer I`m a big fan of Skrillex because of the freedom that he takes to make ideas into songs and the perfectionism on drum programing and sound desing for me it´s a perfect work.
