I am like you, I spend the day doing this and I start to wonder, I start to wonder, what makes this person right for me to record with? Let me tell ya, I started like most of us do, listening to the new (insert favorite artist) CD as we turn the volume clockwise. Then spending the days in the hall talking and comparing an artist to another artist, I wanted to be "That guy who made the song sound l
ike you heard on the radio". With that being said at the time I didn't know what it took to make ONE song. After years of research and working in radio for a few years I started to build a small home studio in my parents' basement. Do you remember recording and someone came home, so you had to stop recording till they left again? I'll never forget them days along with setting up the "1,000 piece Lego" studio at friends houses with too much sound in the recording. All of us as artist/engineers go through this and it helps mold us into the career path we choose. Some point in the first eight years of recording and mixing local artist it became a force I couldn't stay away from. It became a personal goal to give every artist the best mix I can while working with them to make sure their vision is coming through as they pictured it. This journey is leading me through a lot of bumps in the road. It makes me appreciate the end result that much more. The last four years I've been working as a freelance engineer/mixer with Wiseguy Studios.
