Mixing Engineer

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I love the analog sound but I don't love the price! If I could I would always mix on hardware but I think digital is at a point where the difference is very slim and you're able to make it up in different ways.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: That I will do everything in my power to make your mix sound great, I may not have been in the industry as long as some others but I understand wanting your music to sound as good as it can.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Can you make "x" louder? Answer: Yes

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Usually what they want their mix to sound like, I'll ask for some kind of reference track.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Ask lots of questions about the process and tell me about how you want the mix to sound. Communication is key.

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

A: Macbook, Sennheiser HD650s, UAD Apollo Twin, Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 MK3 and an SM57

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I was originally studying as a musician; specifically as a drummer and stumbled into production when I wanted to record my band. After I started producing I found myself recording and mixing a lot of my friends who I studied with. From there I've moved and started studying Studio and Live production at a school in southern Sweden. All in all I've been producing/mixing for about five years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I'm very interested in perserving organic elements of recordings while still giving them a modern flare, I'm not too into a lot of modern mixing(loudness war) but think that when modern elements are combined with tride and true methods you get really impactful music.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would love to work with Charli XCX. I think she's a great songwriter and makes bangers and I would really love to contribute to something of that caliber.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: The music I've worked most with is my own and friends music. I've produced/mixed a lot of rock, electronic and hip-hop music.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: At home I work mostly digitally and mix on headphones. I use Pro Tools and Ableton. I have an electric bass, guitar, some mics. Everything you need really. As I'm studying at a Studio and Live production program I also have access to a professional studio where I can really hone in on my mixes.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: AG Cook inspires me a lot, very creative in his choice of sounds and really out of the box producer/mixer. I also love J Dilla for his amazing sampling but also because I'm a drummer :)
