Interview with Marcus Singletary

A: Music.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Marcus Singletary.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I have both types of gear, and some analog modelers in the digital realm. Personally, I prefer digital, as it's cleaner and more modern sounding. Although I'm big into the sounds of the '60s and '70s, I'm OK with adding any sonic elements into the mix that are seen as "contemporary" or "new."

A: Computer, Pre-Amp, Guitar, Microphone, Drum Machine (in lieu of being able to bring an entire drum kit.) I don't need to bring a bass. I can process the guitar to sound like one.
