Engineer, Mixer and Producer

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: A hip hop project. Currently looking for rappers...

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: both. Because they both bring things to the table. Tracking is always Digital for me because the advantages of complete recall far out weigh the benefits of analogue. Analogue for recording though.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
