My Mix Angle: My approach is an extremely fast and very efficient process from prep through client communications. I’ve mixed well over 500 songs a year for many years across many different genres.
For Example:
At MixCon, I’m Focusing On The Faster Mix and Studio Business Because: Many years ago I had a startling revelation about the way I was working which changed my entire business, and more importantly allowed me to balance my life a lot more with my family since I was working nonstop at the time.
It was that I had gross inefficiencies in my workflow and never took the time to think about what I was doing and how to do it faster without sacrificing quality. This changed my life because it allowed me to take more clients, get paid more, and work less hours all at the same time. Now I’m on a mission to teach other people how to do this so they can keep up with an industry which is moving increasingly faster.
Sneak Preview: I’ll show you how to build a system of client communications which will give you much faster turnaround time, eliminate any future disputes, improve client retention, and create exponentially less stress in your life. That and some other powerful hacks you can use to transform your business and entire mixing process.
I Love Leading Audio Workshops Because… It is a great way to connect with and give back to the community. I love trying to inspire people and motivate them.
Anything Else? Really excited for MIXCON! Should be a great event!
