Interview with Krandal
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I’m writing music for Chick-fil-A play app for the iPhone or galaxy
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: No
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: It doesn’t matter either one works the most important thing again is listening to the client making sure I hear what they want. For the most part I always ask what album you want this to sound like they really don’t know what to say but then they think about it and there I have a path of how to tell a story.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Integrity of your art and making sure I understand your vision of storytelling whether it’s a record, a film or some streaming platform.

A: How long will it take?
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Many times with clients they’re not aware that I already understand the final product all the way to mastering. If I am not mastering, I always make sure to leave plenty of room. Loudness does not make your song. The story tone of dynamics does.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you feel the emotion of what you want how does that sound to you? Do you want something to emulate and evoke the motion of an artist you like or do you wanna sound like that?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Feel very free to ask me any questions. It’s very important that I see your vision before we start anything. Through my experience it’s always been a personal storytelling. That is my job to understand exactly what you’re looking for.
