Interview with Mike Hillier
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of a mastering room at Metropolis Mastering, London. The room is built around a Maselec console and PMC monitoring, with Prism, Maselec, Sontec, and Avalon hardware.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Silly question.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Damon Albarn. He has brought so much to so many styles of music. From britpop, to hip-hop, and taking in grunge, folk, and even opera.
