Episode show notes:

I had the honor of being interviewed on Brendan Dekora's podcast "Pro Audio Perspectives". 

On this show Brendan dives into the heart and soul of the music industry through candid conversations with professionals from across the pro audio field. Each episode explores the deeper emotional connections and the artistry behind the music, moving beyond the technical aspects to uncover what truly inspires great performances. 

And you know, Brendan Dekora is the real deal. He has won a Grammy Award and has worked with artists like the Foo Fighters, Trent Reznor, Steven Wilson, Nine Inch Nails, and many more. 

So, needless to say, I felt very excited and honored when he invited me to be a guest on his show.

We talked about pre-production and about how I work with artists that hire me to mix their songs. About how I guide them through the production process, so that they are actually ready to send me their files for mixing.

We also talked about my personal preferences in terms of music and my style, aesthetic and approach to mixing. 

And I shared my story of how I actually got to be a mixer and producer.

I think what we discussed there is very, very relevant and helpful for you. Those are pretty much the things that I also teach in great detail inside the Self-Recording Syndicate. 

All the things that are so important to me, like 

• how the song and the performance are more important than everything else
• how to prepare for the studio
• how to avoid common mistakes
• the communication that needs to be spot on between artists and producer
• all the different hats you're wearing as a modern mixer, but also of course as a self-recording artist
• the modern role of a mixer and engineer and producer and how it has changed over the years.

So I just had to share it on our show, as well!

Thanks for inviting me and for letting me share this with our people here, Brendan.

Enjoy!
