Really an artist with an atypical voice, if you want to do Trap, Drill or current urban sounds go for it, go for it without asking yourself any questions. it will take the song to another level. well done 👏

Interview with Mauricio Williams

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I was proud of working on 'Central Cee's - Wild West' Project. It was a pleasure because I was able to see each song come alive from scratch.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on young and upcoming artists in London
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: We can fix everything, the mix is the last piece of the puzzle after a well produced, well recorded, well arranged record
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would take a re-chargeable portable microphone with me. A digital camera with wifi function. A solar panel energy source. A rugged Dell laptop with Cubase on it. A coupe Four Loco's
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Filled with attitude and guts
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I mainly for on Drill, Afro Beat, Amapiano, AutoTune and Trap
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Anthony Killhoffer is a genius!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital because Analog is a lie we tell each other to feel good/more professional.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I wont give up on a song/mix before you do.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The abundance of great music I get to hear before the public does.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you do it cheaper? Can reduce my rent/living costs?
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you want from the mix? What are the usual problem areas? Which songs do you enjoy? What do you enjoy about your previous music? Are you willing to re-record some parts of your tracks/stems?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be open to experimentation. Come meet me in London,UK. Believe in the process because any good career gets better with time.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I went through mixing in my bedroom with my school friends at the age of 15 to studying music at university at 20 to producing music full-time since I turned 23
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work with Timbaland because I still believe he singlehandedly changed how we produce music for the better.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always ask yourself what do you want from the mix? What is the objective behind you applying each plug-in
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: The use of space in a mix to create a 'stage' for the vocal
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My fearless approach to applying effects and filters. I am a big fan of using effects to bring a mix alive and keeping it dynamic. Whether subtle or obnoxious, you can be sure to hear something that gives you the 'wow' moment in each mix.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I ask the Client for a reference mix/song then also pick another reference mix/song of my choice. Clearing all/editing all steps so that they are ready for processing would be next. Once I have been able to process all stems/tracks, I send the client a demo mix so that he can hear what has edited and if he is happy with it. Then I apply all my mix decisions, ensuring I don't peak any tracks and cause no audible damage to the material. This is followed by sending the client another mix if he/she is happy I will apply a mastering chain to the final mix and send the client his file in 16-bit 44.1khz standard back.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I track most of my vocals through an M-Audio M-Track 8 whilst all vocals are captured through Audio Technica AT-2050 covered by a mesh pop filter. For Monitoring, I use my beloved Yamaha HS7 and for Headphone monitoring, I use Audio Technica's ATH M-50. My Main processing machine is a Macbook Pro 2017 32gb 1TB Intel Core i7 3.7Ghz. My Studio chair is an off-brand product I bought from Argos.com while as my desk is an IKEA piece I got back in 2013.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: From a production standpoint, I am a direct offspring of Timbaland. When it comes to writing I am a big fan of Louis Armstrong and a lot of the songs Max Martin has wrote. Contrary to popular belief my two favourite Musicians are Janet Jackson and Rihanna...why?...Its a long childhood story to tell!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of the time I am involved in the writing process of the songs. Modern-day songwriting also includes vocal production to emphasis the writing style. This style of writing results in me often finishing the mixes before sending it to my mastering engineer or submitting it back to a Label/Publisher.
