My ultimate goal is my client satisfaction and I work as hard as possibile to achieve that
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, because it is cheaper,it doesn't need much space, and it works faster and better and it represents the natural evolution of making and sharing music and it is great for upcoming and indipendent artists. Analog can give a warmer sound, I expecially like analog mastering.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
