Teamwork
Posted on | June 26, 2009 | No Comments
I was recently contacted by a musician for mastering. He was referred to me by an old acquaintance of mine from years back in the San Diego acoustic music scene. This potential client actually had a project that needed mixing (in ProTools) and mastering.
For mixing I referred him to Kyle Thompson, an engineer/producer I master a lot of music for…and who is ProTools-based. Kyle did a sample mix and then I mastered a bit of it. The client was impressed with the combined result, and so we move forward.
The bonus, here, is that I solve two problems for the client, and ultimately make him happy. In his last e-mail to me he said, “I really like what you guys did, and I’m sure it will only get better with adjustments. I have a feeling you’re a magician.”
I like to think of myself more as an alchemist.
