I’m regarded as a producer who can capture a great vocal performance and get a great vocal tone. I’m known to be an engineer who excels at capturing small ensemble recordings in live spaces. I’m regarded as a versatile composer with leanings towards mad scientists.
I’m regarded for compelling mixes that don’t sound like they’re off the rack. I’m regarded as an empathetic educator that values craft over ego. I’m known as the guy that gave one of my clients permanent hearing loss.
That’s not actually true. But please, whenever you plug anything in, change anything, or otherwise do anything that might cause a big pop or feedback, tell your artists and yourself to pull off your headphones. Your reputation and hearing is one of the most priceless things you have.
