The Engenius Interview
Engenius: Walk us through your signal chain.
Donovan Pierce: Mic, pre, comp, converter. Simple. The magic is in the gain staging, not the gear.
Engenius: How do you price a beat?
Donovan Pierce: By the leverage, not the hours. Exclusive costs more because you're selling the upside.
Engenius: One habit that changed everything?
Donovan Pierce: Bouncing a rough mix before I sleep. Fresh ears in the morning catch everything.
