Please get in touch for producing or mixing your project. You can send me your track mp3 demo or rough mix via dropbox. (fgdd-at-mac.com) This way I will better understand your music and if I can really help improving your project sound. For the ones who don’t know me, on the top right of this page you can listen to some of my work. I am also on Soundbetter, here: I try to keep it updated.
Some notes for the gear minds:
In 2016 I have set up shop and currently work at an amazing studio complex called Tic, at the Vintage Room. Check this space Tic Studio Vienna. For mixing I use a Pro Tools/16ch summing digital analog hybrid solution I have been working on for a while. I am currently very happy with the sound results. I have been using a Phoenix audio Nicerizer summing amp for ages and I still love it and I also used an Oram DM 16, which is genius because it has faders and it sounds gorgeous. I am now using the amazing custom bulit Neumann console at Tic (built by Florian Weixelbaumer). I often patch the PT track outputs to external outboard comp and eqs or reverbs. When I mix I take pictures of my outboard settings and save them within the session folders. Not a big hassle, and mixing is much more fun and interesting with greater sonic results.
Artist Development
In addition to my work as songwriter, producer and engineer, through many years of experience I have accumulated knowledge and know-how that allows me to help artists beyond the “song”, to coach them before, during and after the recording. My experience and passion extends to visuals as I worked on the cover art and videos of a high number of music releases, often under the VMC moniker.
Below is a list of activities where I have successfully helped musicians and bands in steps of the process:
Pre-production:
- Feedback on demos
- Songwriting
Recording/Production:
- How to get prepared to and optimize recording time
- How to choose and what to expect from a studio, a producer and an engineer
- How to understand sound direction and knowing if your team is doing a good job
- Advices on mixing and mastering
Visuals:
- Consulting on Band or artist branding (photos, logos and album art feedback)
- Creating and Editing music videos, teasers or trailers.
Release:
- Planning a release (what to do and what to avoid)
- Distributors
Marketing:
- What to know and what to do about all the digital music outlets (Spotify, Apple music, Soundcloud…)
- What to know about music labels
- What to know and what to do with publicists and music bloggers and promotion platforms
- New music promotion opportunities and how to avoid scams and traps
- Music licensing, tv and film sync opportunities in the internet ocean of offerings
