After starting my career as a live mixer at Mad’n’Crazy, I had my first concert on a really powerful sound system. The CASINO Berlin was better known for electronic music. But this time, it was the punks’ turn to take center stage. PA rental company TSE AG calibrated and set up the 22KW system, and for two days I was able to blast the earwax out of the guests’ ears. Musically, it wasn’t quite my thing, but there were a few funny bands on the bill. Among others, I mixed the following acts that weekend: OHL, Dödelhaie, Der dicke Polizist, Die Kassierer and many others. The festival was organized by M.A.D. Tourbooking in cooperation with CoreTex Records.

During my training at the SAE Institute, I got to know different mixing consoles and microphones in various studios and was able to put theory directly into practice. I started out in a small studio with a Tascam D24 digital console. I recorded my very first band on eight tracks. The song is called “Komm näher” and was performed by GAMBERRA. The Recordings were also mixed on the TASCAM D24 with additional mastering done with T-Racks 2 by IK Multimedia.

I produced my first radio play in 2004 together with my fellow student Götz as part of my training as an audio engineer at the SAE Institute in Berlin. We used Logic 5 on a MacPro in a digital studio equipped with a Tascam D24 mixing console. The aim was to learn about effects, the sound design of radio plays, and recording sounds in the “field”
The radio play is in german though… -

After graduating from high school, I moved to Marburg in 2002 to study musicology. The course was very boring, so instead we just made music in our shared apartment. I wrote the song together with my buddy Steffen on a Pentium computer running Windows 98 and a Terratec sound card. I think I had a cracked version of Cubase SX and Reason 2 as my DAW. Those were the very beginnings of my audiophilia, and shortly afterwards I decided to move to Berlin and start my training at the SAE Institute.

During my school days, I led the video club and later also the music club. We played around with VHS tapes and mini disc recorders. Back then, I wasn’t really into hip-hop. But my buddy Martin started rapping, and then I wanted to make some beats with my guitar. My first software was Magix Music Maker, and I recorded the guitar on an Ikea cassette deck that had a built-in microphone. Those were the days.
