Interview with AN/DI P&R MUSIC PRODUCTION
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Maybe that mixing can be 'fire and forget' or that there are 'magic frequencies' that are used to EQ certain things. Each piece of music that's been recorded deserves the time and attention it needs to allow it to bloom and be its best. No piece is the same, there are no cookie cutter approaches for meaningful results. Of course, always pushing for a timely release, but with no shortcuts.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: MEATCAKE LIVE AND LOUD AT THE HIDEAWAY BAR. This was the first studio mix that I was very happy with, this was around the time when everything started to click for me.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Building my own business on sites such as this. Many studio upgrades, and studying electronic engineering.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Eric Leishman.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. For many reasons.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will do my very best to ensure that we can bring your vision to life.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to create art.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can we add more reverb? Sure!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I like to check in with my clients as reasonably often as possible to ensure we're getting the results they are hoping for.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're a newcomer to having your song mixed, don't be shy to ask any questions. I also supply a beginner's guide on how to send your tracks over to me, so no stress!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Assuming power is supplied, a pair of ATC speakers, computer, interface, keyboard, entire drum set.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: 15 years of working in independent studios around Sydney on many small projects. Then I had the opportunity to intern at Bulletin Place Studios (The Basement, Circular Quay, Sydney). I also had the pleasure of running a live music venue in Enmore, Sydney, as both the manager and chief sound engineer. Now I find myself being able to offer my services under my own business.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I get my facts straight, then distort them at my leisure - Mark Twain(ish). I apply the fundamentals of sonics in respect to how sound works in nature, then make it into whatever it needs to be.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Thundercat. He's cool.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't make decisions based in fear. Follow what excites you, while bearing in mind the technical limitations. Something Brian Lucey has taught me.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Normally heavier genres ie hard rock or metal. My real passion is in pop music, if I could mix the next Rihanna or Lil Nas X, my life will be complete.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Attention to detail along with perserverence.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: In terms of mixing - great sound-staging, whether it's realistic (as in an orchestra) or as creative as can be (think electronic music). And of course, making the song sound great. For production - absolute attention to detail, openness to new ideas and good know how. For performance - being able to lose myself and communicate that, good technical ability and knowledge.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Feel free to send my any type of enquiry, I'll guide you through the process, with lots of updates and drafts while we work on your project.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Class A analog processing and high end plugins. I let the results speak for themself.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Quincy Jones, Atticus Ross, Trent Reznor, Nolly, Bob Rock, Brian Lucey, Alan Moulder, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Damon Albarn, Thundercat, Esperanza Spalding, Stevie Wonder - the list goes on...
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Music production, mostly mixing.
