Endorse Calum Brockie

by Taylor Kelly
Cal pegs himself to be an engineer but his abilities exceed that of an ordinary mixing engineer. He is the most insightful, creative and talented engineer & producer I have ever worked with and his work is nothing short of professional. He is a patient perfectionist, easygoing and usually has better ideas than you do for your own project. He is a joy to work with and someone you can truly trust.

Interview with Calum Brockie

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are your influences? What are your goals for the project? What do you expect from me?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be upfront about what you want and what you expect, don't be shy!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started out engineering for local bands in Boston before I moved to Los Angeles and got into the pop production/writing world. I spent 2019 in Berlin, Germany producing and writing for artists based both in Europe and around the World.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually produce rhythmic pop songs/indie pop but I have made lots of music in different genres that I've still been able to bring a lot to. Mixing-wise I've done a lot of indie rock, hiphop and world music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I was a composer before I started mixing so I bring the perspective of a writer who's first concern was always telling a story through sound. I spend a lot of time creating unique sounds and ideas for the productions I work on so that the track has it's own unique sonic identity as well as it's musical and lyrical one.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Producing and mixing songs for clients. Taking a song whatever stage it's currently in and working with the artist to make it as awesome as possible!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Creating a dynamic arrangement, finding unique hooky sounds
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I get inspired by artists/producers who are unabashedly themselves. People like Tycho, Flume and Danger Mouse come to mind.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to visit so many different people's musical worlds for a day or two
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would say that I use a pop-style sheen and attention to detail to expose the grit and emotion of whatever music I work on
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog is amazing for tracking but the portability/ability to recall digital sessions makes it the best choice for mixing in my view
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: For each production/mixing decision you make; remember to consider it's context in the whole song, not just in the isolated section or instrument
