Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First, if it's mixing, I would listen to the rough mix that the client provides to ascertain where I need to focus my efforts. After that I would get an initial balance, followed by frequency cleanup of each track. Additive, complimentary EQ followed by decisive and informed decisions on Dynamic Range and Compression. Lastly FX, Ambiance and Automation to bring out the vibe and groove of the song as per the clients desires.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work entirely In The Box using Pro Tools. I have an Apollo Interface from UAD, along with a plethora of their unbeatable Audio and Mixing Plugins.

I have a Sonarworks Reference 4 System installed in my studio along with a lot of Acoustical Treatment.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My big Mixing influence would be the work of Bob Clearmountain among others. His work would include Tears For Fears, Crowded House, David Bowie, Roxy Music but to name a few, and I always find I go back to his work for sonic and musical inspiration
