Adam took a lot of stems and helped make better "sense" out of them and help create a first class mixed song. He was a great pleasure to work with and he was fast and intuitive...and was able to take my explanation of the song and bring that into fruition. Adam delivered exactly what I was expecting from a first class sound engineer and mixer. Highly recommend!!

Interview with Adam Kagan
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been playing music since I was a child and producing, mixing and mastering professional music for about 20 years now.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is understanding the message of the music and allowing that to shine through.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I like to think I bring the best out in the music that is already there. I add my own flavor, but I try not to change the essence of what the artist and producer intended. My job should be transparent, but also improve the music to a point where the whole exceeds the sum of the parts.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to discuss the project with the producer and artist and figure out the best process, whether I work on a song and then make necessary revisions or sit with the artist or producer while I work. I typically work quickly, but take as long as it takes to get the job done.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work mainly in-the-box, but I have a few choice pieces of outboard gear that I can't get away from.
