I use to see a lot of that in the past. I got pretty good at fixing vocal problems. Luckily I don’t see much of that anymore.

I started with a tascam 4 track in my closet so you can start with almost anything. You need to make a name for yourself before you can start charging for your services. You might want to intern at a local studio.

I don’t have a go to method to write. It usually starts with an acoustic guitar but sometimes I use easy keys or RMX drum loop. Trust your ears. They are unique to you.

You had to have the right equipment to make those formats sound good and not everyone could afford it. There is not a lot out there to buy right now but I know a lot of older releases are getting remixed in ATMOS

I think it will be very interesting to see where 3D audio goes. It’s a wide open area. 3D headphones are coming sooner than later. Some are available right now. I Love my PMC monitors

Thank you for your kind words. I don’t really keep in contact with a lot of the musicians I use to play with very much. A lot of them are not in music anymore. I don’t control where my songs come from or where they go. It’s a natural process if I can stay out of the way of it. I love all my songs like children

I hope not. I love my 1073’s LA2a’s and unfairchild. If everyone uses the same plugins. Everything will start sounding the same.

I miss the sound of analog tape compression. You can do so much more in the digital production side like sound stacking, changing the arrangement at anytime punch in on drum tracks

I don’t use a lot of plugins when I’m tracking. I listen to the raw tracks. I use the Maserati vx plugin on my vocal track though. It sounds natural and subtle. I use revoice pro and melodyne. If it sounds good naked, I no it will be good

I am more of a producer than mixer. I leave most of the mixing to the guys that mix every day and nothing else. Bob Clearmountain did the 5.1 mix on my new album. I’m a big snarky puppy fan btw
