Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Pay attention to the key and the tempo of the song before going to the recording studio.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically in a production, I start with the band or artist making a pre-production with rehearsals, listenings, and so on, developing the songs before we go to the studio. From that point, we start recording, generally with some reference tracks (voice and guitar or keys) to put the rhythm base (drums and bass). After that, we move to the other instruments, generally one by one. When all recordings are done, I generally edit all the material, giving some raw mixes to the artist for possible changes. When we are ok with the edition, I start mixing. I do a test mixing with the band or artist for general volumes and balances, then start mixing song by song. When the mixes are completed, we move to the mastering, repeating the mix process.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The time that you have to spend on a project for taking it to its maximum level. It's a lot of time, and people sometimes don't appreciate it.
