Tonight's guest goes by ANDE or Andrew, he's 20 years old and he loves to create music. he would considers himself to be a Producer along with a Recording, Mixing and Mastering Engineer. He finished his Bachelor of Arts (Hons) degree in Audio Production at the SAE Institute in Glasgow which is something he is proud of as the course is tough as it is a 3 year degree into 2 and it is a great place to study. There are many SAE’s over the world and he is lucky enough to have been able to study at one of them. He is lucky enough to have the opportunity to work on the campus’ Neve VR console which he has recorded some projects in the past and both of his final projects were based around studio recording with one EP and one album both being written, produced, mixed and mastered in two 12 week blocks each. Given his age and the fact that he had only set foot in that particular studio in August 2021 he is happy with his progress, What he knows and what he has been able to achieve. He has recorded Vocals, Full Kit and Half Kit Drums, Electric Guitars, re-amping anything and everything, Bass and Acoustic Guitar, Pianos with a myriad of microphones over these last few months. He is comfortable mixing on Pro Tools and Ableton, Ableton is his preference as he thinks they have some fantastic stock plugins but he does like to bounce between DAWs. At the end of the day, it really depends on what sort of track he is working on. Some of what he's mixed has appeared on the home page of the website. Practice makes perfect and he finds himself practicing even in his spare time because he honestly find it enjoyable. He has had many client jobs in the past which have called for mixing on Ableton and Pro Tools. He has mastered tracks on Ableton, Pro Tools and Wavelab 9 and he is equally as comfortable on all 3 of these DAWs. As of now, Mastering is his most popular service to date! Take a listen to some of the masters he has done on his home page. Quality is his number 1 priority, he is a perfectionist even I will unhealthily obsess over parts I do not like until I feel it is up to standard. High standards are incredibly important to him. Speaking of high standards, yall are getting a piece of someone with such with talks about his newest single, 'SOMETHING TO TELL ME', engineer advice, experience in the music industry, and lots of jokes!
