Interview with Huge Nicolson
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started in 1985.... making tea in a studio called the townhouse in london, the rest is way to long to talk about...
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: check the phase of thing as you go listen and see what sounds best
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All sorts over the years but I suppose I am more known for indie projects.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Getting lost in the mix finding the song again and making it shine!
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: It changes from project to project, but what I feel my job is, is to make clients happy, and if I can do that it has been a good day :-)
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Setup, Mix, Revisions, that is basically it. I the mix I get a good vibe going pretty quick then tweak it till I feel I can play it to someone else.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: These days it is entirely in the box on Protools 12. It took me a while to go all the way in, but now I am and there is no going back :-) I feel my mixes sound better now than they ever have.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm careful with putting people on pedestals, but I'm a huge fan of Tchad Blakes mixing work!!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing is mostly what I do these days, but occasionally I get asked back into a recording environment to mess around with some fun toys.
