"He is a true expert with an out-of-the-box mindset and an easy-going attitude"
I have 15+ years of experience in studio work. From small budget home recording situations to large, all week long sessions I've been involved in every kind of situation. I have a studio at my house, where I can track guitars and do post-production (editing, mixing, sometimes mastering) not just for guitar tracks.

Interview with Gabor Udvarhelyi
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: 2019 record with JaMese called 'Adventi Kalendarium'. It has 24 songs on it, which should be different in arrangement, mood sonically and this amount is really challenging. I was co-write the songs, co-mix and produce the whole album and I was the guitarist as well.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Re-Mixing an old song for the band Wand. Producing/mixing the next single for JaMese.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, they can't live witout each other.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I deliver quality work everytime.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I learn something every day.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: 'Can I have the tracks yesterday?' :))
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I won't play bass, that's a whole other instrument.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What they wanna hear or what they DON'T wanna hear on their song.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Constant communication is the key for working together I think.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My PRS Starla, an UAD Apollo Twin, a MacBookPro, Logic Pro, Sony MDR7506 headphones.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I'm doing this since I was 18, for 20 years now, never had a 'real' job or anything outside music.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I try to use my guitar not just the standard way sonically. I create ambience, pads, arpeggatiors beside 'normal' playing.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Electro Deluxe from France, becasue they never had any guitar player so far.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Record the same cabinet with two (even similar) mics, put sample (sometimes called 'input') delay on one of them, it makes a huge/fat/wide sounding guitar track.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: From pop thru smooth jazz to world music. Basically everthing except rock/metal.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: To look the same project from different perspectives: I could be the writer, the producer, the guitarist or the mixing engineer. That's comes handy.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Uniquealaty.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the song over and over and jam on it, until I got something to record.
