I am currently searching for an option regarding the production of our next material - by that, I mean that we were thinking of trying to work with a famous artist in what regards production. We were of course thinking about someone who is deeply rooted in the styles that we like and Facebook came with the answer when the artist posted an announcement regarding production services. It's Clint Lowery from Sevendust - check out his website: http://www.clintlowery.net/workwithclint

Do you guys know any other artists who work with people in general - especially over the internet?

I wonder how a virtual production (via internet) would work. Do you have experience with it?

Similar to laying down a track remotely.
You get sent the track. (As a guitar player I just like a stereo mix). You put down a few parts. In a mix engineer's case - you send him all the tracks and he'd do a mix. Send it back. Get feedback. Do it again.
You can use skype for communicating.
In my experience it actually takes longer to do it this way - unless you completely trust the producer/engineer to do what's best - ?
As you may imagine, monitoring can be problematic - as in do you and all the band members have (at least) the same monitors as the remote mixer/producer(?). Again it's about trust. Do you trust somebody you've never met before and that has never heard your band to mix your record? Also how do you know what said producer 'really' did on the records that you know? Maybe the sound was all the mix engineer, mic placement and the room - ?
Food for thought.

Any producer and/or mix engineer that's worth their salt will 1) ask you for commercially recorded examples of what you think your band should sound like - as far as the recording aesthetic is concerned. 2) offer to mix one tune (for a set fee - either hourly, day or all in).
Both these things are normal and standard either face to face or remotely.

*As an option for you specifically Cosmin ...
Maybe a producer/mixer you like will be working in Europe on a project during this next year? Maybe he or she has a break or down time or may be able to stay longer. Don't be afraid to ask. I've traveled for work to places just because I wanted to go there. I know a studio owner/engineer/producer here in L.A. (Manny Nieto - Breeders, Los Lobos, Trash Talk) who wanted to visit China. He packed up a bunch of gear and traveled around China and Singapore for almost a year recording bands.
Ask - you never know?
