Mixing engineer and composer

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: If I had to give a general production tip, I would say it’s important to listen to music carefully, using good monitoring, whether with headphones or studio monitors, and to learn from the productions of great artists and albums—there’s a lot to learn this way. Also, listening to the same music on different devices is very valuable, because when working on a mix, the goal is exactly that: to make it sound good on all kinds of playback systems.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Lately, I have been responsible for creating and mixing custom music, mostly for independent musicians.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I believe my greatest strength is bringing objectivity to a project. I am very creative and passionate about anything related to the world of audio, whether it’s mixing or enhancing recordings, or recording virtual or real instruments.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: When someone comes with an idea, I listen carefully. As a musician, I understand that everyone is different, with their own motivations and tastes. My role is always to contribute based on the references they provide, and if requested, to add some of my own creativity through arrangements or details that can enhance and make a difference in the production.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Clients usually ask me to enhance the audio for their projects, whether it’s reducing noise, balancing, or improving existing recordings. I also work on mixing audio for bands or independent composers, and I’m often asked to record virtual instruments to add to their projects.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I work from my home studio using Pro Tools, with Behringer K5 monitors, Sony MDR 7506 headphones, and a MIDI controller. I mainly work with virtual instruments, especially drums and bass. For recording real instruments, I collaborate with a colleague in his studio, where we primarily record guitars, double bass, and drums.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I’m inspired by albums from great Argentine artists like Spinetta and Charly García. I also learn a lot from independent productions with talented producers working behind the scenes. For example, recent releases like Django Session or the band Cisne Elocuente, which has an amazing live sound and impressive recordings, motivate me to improve my own work.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I mix and enhance audio and create music for any project requested, whether it’s songs, compositions with virtual MIDI instruments, original music, or background music for videos. I also edit short videos, which are usually corporate interviews or various videos that include music.
