Endorse Outcross Productions- check_circleVerified
Working with Outcross has been a breeze and a delight. This is our first track and I am thrilled how it came out, we are already discussing the second. Communication with Miguel has been fluid and on point, and he always responds with the proper requests and track amendments in punctual fashion.
I would recommend anyone to work with Outcross should they want the ultimate in an online production experience.
Thank you Miguel!
Interview with Outcross Productions
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Working on the Janet Jackson 'Damn Baby' release was a proud moment for me. Having recently had permission from Tito Jackson to use a Jackson Five sample for the Sigala release on Ministry of Sound, I was really excited to be approached by a major label and invited to work on this project. The producer, Jimmy Jam, is a real gentleman and it was an honour to be able to work with these guys on their release package.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Right now, I have just launched a new label (Outcross Black) which is focusing on the more club style aspect of what we do. This has meant big energy in the studio and the ability to use a totally different sound palette which has been lots of fun, for sure.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog AND digital! I like to use my ears and decide on which one sounds the best for each application in each different scenario.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise to clients is simple in that if you like my body of work and choose to employ my help with your project, you will be fully happy with the results as I will work to the best of my ability in providing the best sonic experience that I can create.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The best thing about being a music producer is the ability to do something that you love and have passion for. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that people are enjoying your music and indeed that your music affects peoples lives.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Q: How do you get your basslines to sound so good? A: Using production skills and consistently doing it my way.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: When looking to hire a provider like myself, ensure that you are fully ready with your ideas and have a vision of what you would like the finished production to sound like.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started out as a very young hip-hop DJ in the 90's. Having switched into house music shortly afterwards, I was fully inspired by the electronic music scene and became interested in music production by the turn of the millennium. I began music production and went on to create tracks for some of the biggest labels and artists in the industry.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style of music is largely based on funk and hip-hop with the snare drum playing a vital roll in all of my tracks. With elements of electro, techno & french house my style is regarded as deep house.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Roisin Murphy in the future as I have always loved her voice and feel that we could create magical music together.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: My tip is always to trust your ears over your eyes. Sometimes things don't look right, but go with what sounds right.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I am known for creating a type of deep / funky house which quickly became a signature sound for me. Within this style I have been able to utilise lots of sub-genre elements from disco, electro, techno and EDM.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill comes in my programming ability and my use of compression and other dynamics.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I utilise a combination of hardware and software instruments and effects to create my signature sound.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Gear Highlights: Sequential Prophet-6, Nord Stage 2 EX, Minimoog Voyager XL, Roland Jupiter 80, Avalon VT747sp, RME Fireface 802, Mac Pro, Steinberg Cubase
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I have always been inspired by Daft Punk and the whole French touch scene. Maceo Plex is a big influence along with artists like Tale Of Us and Soul Clap.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Music production is something I do on a daily basis. The most common type of work I do for my clients is executive production and remixing.
