Interview with YCCMD

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

  2. A: If tracking is hard to do by yourself and my answer is always no.

  3. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  4. A: I produced, wrote, recorded, mixed all of my songs. Though the beginning was rough, feedback was harsh, i got better. I never thought i would do this for a job and i now do. It's a proud moment when given little next to no chance, to manage to exceed your own expectations.

  5. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  6. A: One album for an independent artist, an EP for a soon to be launched female artist and my own 3rd EP.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: In a perfect world, analog, because of the freedom natural distortion offers. Digital is getting increasingly better and i feel the differences become to small to a consumer's ear.

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

  10. A: That I do my best.

  11. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  12. A: The level of emotion when you finish and post a new song.

  13. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  14. A: Mixing is not important.

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

  16. A: Trust me

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

  18. A: A guitar, A looper, the shure sm57, a mechanically rechargeable generator and a big ass amp or speaker

  19. Q: How would you describe your style?

  20. A: Organized

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

  22. A: Brendon Urie, because i consider him to be a proper all-rounded artist. He can write, play, sing and produce.

  23. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  24. A: High pass everything. Whatever low end doesn't need to be there must go.

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

  26. A: Anything goes

  27. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  28. A: Harmony

  29. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  30. A: I try and build around an artist and push the song to a point where the artist himself is not only satisfied, but surprised.

  31. Q: What's your typical work process?

  32. A: I might start building on some rhythm in Cubase, i could have some chords on the piano or guitar. I'll loop whatever i have and them work on some melody and songwriting. When a simple idea is starting to emerge it's easy to push it enough to become a viable product.

  33. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  34. A: I have a home studio, as well as a recording studio. The gear i use is: Rme Ucx, Blue Bluebird mic, Shure sm 57, Beta 58a, a Hammer 88 Keyboard from M-audio,Taylor and Fender acoustic and electric guitars.

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

  36. A: I love good songwriting so there's Ben Caplan, Mick Flannery, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen. I love good production value, though I can't specifically name one. I feel producers as well as other professionals are more or less on the same level. It's either good or bad.

  37. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  38. A: I can handle pretty much anything an artist has to throw at me, but i mainly produce.

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

  40. A: I've been doing this for 5 years. I started out by teaching myself some guitar, then harmony, I'm currently brushing up on my piano and honing my mixing skills. Production is rather boring when sample hunting so i try and rely on them as little as I can.
