Interview with Diego Carriquiry

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be open to new ideas while also knowing what you want (or what you don't want). Also, having some knowledge about musical terms/ideas is something that will definitely make communication easier.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would describe my sound as visual. Whenever I am producing something, I try to have an image in my mind and try to represent it sonically.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with Fleet Foxes because I think their songwriting is very original and their productions sound incredible. I like how they exploit dynamics in their songs.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Pre-fader reverb sends. If used in the right track and with discretion, it can create an amazing sense of space.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work mostly on alternative rock, although I have a few upcoming projects that are more electronic and pop.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I am a problem solver. If something is not working out or not sounding quite right, I look for creative solutions to make the song sound as I am imagining it.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I think I bring a different perspective to songs. I listen to a lot of music from many different genres and I take elements from these influences and put them into my productions. If you are in a creative hole, I can help you get out of it.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work mostly in the box with Pro Tools as my main DAW, although I can also work with Ableton and Logic. I have many plugins from different manufacturers including Waves, Soundtoys and Izotope. I have some synthesizers as well, both analog and digital, drum machines and outboard effect processors.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I have worked on full productions of original songs, production of You Tube covers, podcast intro music, live performance mixes and studio mixes.
