Bands: nu company (rhythm'n'gospel), The Swingin' Guitars, Edison Lane (party band),
Kaluzny Blues Band (KBB) and Mick & Elli, Berta, Babak Nemati.

Instruments: bass guitar, keyboard

Jörg's statement:

The choice of the right microphone, it's positioning when recording an instrument is an indispensable step toward a good recording. The beautiful sound of voice, an acoustic guitar or drums can sound unnatural, if they are badly miked. Similarly, the improper use of effects during the recording can make the material unusable for the mixing session.  Shame, if it just was the best take! That's why I prefer to invest a little more time for the soundcheck.

Mick's statement:

The pre-production is the first step before making a new album. The songs will be rehearsed and arranged, and then I will prepare pilot tracks. A solid pre-production spares many unpleasant situations during the actual studio recording. I believe that every single stage of the production is equaly important. I like to invest the time to individually coach artists in order to bring the best out of them.

Projects: Mick & Elli, KBB (Kaluzny Blues Band)

Elli's Statement:

The voice is a very personal instrument. Almost everyone loves to sing. For many, it is a dream to release a CD with favorite songs or original compositions . The solo voice often decides in favor or disfavor of a musical production. During pre-production I meet with the artist and we are working together to get the best sound and performance for the recording.
