Interview with Mário PC
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently working on my second album, "Match Point", and promoting my jazz festival, "MPC Jazz Festival".
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes. Bassist Alex Rocha.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. More practical, cheaper, and less demand for repairs.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love music, and I love making music. Music probably saved the lives of many, including mine.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: If it is possible that the product will be ready in one day. If the price can be lowered. I say maybe so. We will always study the client's counter-proposal and the complexity of the project. If it is within the possibilities, we will serve the customer.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: You may be inspired, but if you are not, don't wait for inspiration to come: work hard.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask about deadlines and artistic preferences.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're not sure what you want, we'll find it together.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: An AKG 414 microphone, a monster cable, a Studer roll recorder, a Neve preamp, and a Direct Sound headphone.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been in the market since 1982. I didn't feel the time went by. I want more!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I'm an acid saxophonist. A mystical flutist. A composer who loves dance. And an alchemist producer.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I worked for many years with artists. It is pleasant to share new visions with renowned artists, but lately I have been paying full attention to my career as a composer, soloist and music producer.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Producing music by listening to our hearts comes before producing music for market demands or mass human motivations. We must remember that our signature is at stake.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop-rock, Jazz-fusion and soundtracks of different styles.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I have no way of measuring what my greatest skill would be since I do everything I do since my beginning, dedicating myself tirelessly and with great passion to Music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: For all the work I do I rely on my experience and confidence. Years lived on stages and studios. An experience consecrated by the Brazilian music market.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Recording solos, composing songs, scheduling arrangements or mixing an album, demands full dedication from me. No product leaves my studio before my complete satisfaction.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: The configuration of my studio meets all my demands.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Quincy Jones, Arif Mardin, David Foster, Manfred Eicher, among others.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
