Interview with DB Studios
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don’t settle for the first engineer you come across. Take the time to find someone whose approach, style, and communication align with your artistic vision and musical goals.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: In my experience, my strongest skill lies in vocal and drum processing. Crafting the right groove and dynamic interplay between these elements can elevate a track to the next level, bringing both energy and emotional impact.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Our mission in every mix is to bring the artist's and producer’s vision to life—capturing the essence of their ideas and delivering everything they've imagined for the song. We’re committed to achieving the highest quality possible with every project.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Our current monitoring setup includes Dynaudio BM5 MKIII monitors, complemented by Eris 3.5s for additional reference. We’re also building out a rackmount collection of analog gear, including preamps and compressors. Everything is routed through an Apollo Twin X interface and tracked/mixed in Luna.
