House/Techno Ghost Producer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Subwig; WOLVZ

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Hybrid. Working with an Analog Synth gives me a 'hands on' feeling. Working only with mouse and keyboard isnt that intuitive for me. Also having the sounds already in AUDIO makes my mind be more efficient in arranging the track since I can no longer change composition part. On the other hand, working with digital plugins gives me a lot of creative freedom (I can really create infinite chain possibilities); and I don't need to bring a lot of stuff other than my computer and headphones if I ever need to work remotely.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I will take your request professionaly and make a beautiful track.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What plugins I have; How long will it take me to finish a track. - UAD and Slate Digital plugins - No more than 07 days.

A: What genre are you willing to achieve with this production? Tell me no more than 2 reference tracks

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start with the CORE message of the track. The hook. Then it's time to write a sketch of the chord progression. If the genre I'm working with asks for complex chords (9, 11, 13) I will develop that as well. Then l dive into the rhythm. The groove. Look for a bassline that goes well with what I already have and do the main drum elements at the same time.
