Protools and Logic What's your secret to mixing and making it sound good? Just do it til you like it. No secret. Describe the kind of reaction you have when you hit on a phrase or a sound that really works. Depending on what actually happens, it could inspire further development or the end of the creation process regarding that song. Do you look for feedback on your new music, or do you just lay it out there for people to take it or leave it? Combination of both. I want to know if people don't like it. I do want to sell records. Has formal music training played a part in your success? Yes, it has. It gives me a solid understanding of how to work with musicians even though I am not a musician myself in the instrument style. Name a concept or practice that's particularly difficult for you to get your head around. Algebra. (laughs). When International Affairs is released in the US, what's the one aspect you think will be a first-time music experience for your listeners?
