Quick and easy to work with but most importantly a very good ear for pop music. Really understood what I was looking for and delivered above my expectations. Recommended.

Interview with illberg

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Davey Nate & Shane Facchinello are two of the best providers on here I think. Would recommend them for any singing/top line jobs.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I like to record stuff and commit to sounds using real instruments and analog gear and then tweak it in the box, so I guess a combination of both.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The freedom and the possibilities.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I usually ask for references if there aren’t any included. If there’s a demo, I’ll want to know what they like and don’t like about it. That usually makes the process easier.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be as specific as you can. Since most of these soundbetter colabs are done remotely it’s good to make sure that everyone involved have a shared vision for the project.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I think I have a knack for finding deficiencies in a top line or production and hopefully I’m able to tweak it for the better.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: If I’m producing I usually start by putting the chords together, then the drums and so on. I try to “fail fast”, to keep the flow going. The further I get into the process the more I’ll focus on details until I’m obsessively eq-ing reverbs and riding the vocals up and down 0,5 dB. Eventually I’ll just call it done and send it over.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Like every other producer at the moment, I’ve got a MacBook Pro with an Apollo Twin and an SM7b. I use Focal Solo6 monitors, and then a bunch of guitars, piano, some random keyboards and a Neumann u67.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Ludvig Göransson, Ilya Salmanzadeh, ABBA
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Production, mixing & vocal recordings.
