Interview with Angelo Dela Cruz

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Provide a clear reference track! Even if it’s just one or two songs that have the 'vibe' or 'groove' you’re looking for, it helps me dial in the right articulations and performance style for your project much faster.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring 'feel' and professional polish. Many tracks lack emotion because the instruments sound robotic and lifeless. I use advanced MIDI programming to add the nuance and dynamics that a drummer, pianist, or bassist would bring to the studio.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work in a hybrid environment centered around Ableton. My MIDI toolkit includes industry-standard libraries like Serum, EZ Drummer, and GGD to ensure every sound is radio-ready and high-fidelity.
