Joaquin Carcedo on SoundBetter

Musician of 7+ years, producer with experience recording, mixing and mastering different styles of music. My main objective is always to improve the sound universe of each project, where I dedicate the necessary time to achieve a maximum result that leaves it according to the client.

HOLA! My name is Joaquin. I’m an audio engineer and sound designer looking for new jobs. I have mixed and mastered many music from the local scene here in Buenos Aires and from other sites of the globe. For the last 3 years, I have been producing original music and sound FX for a few animated projects and videogames; Expressing each project through audio is what I'm most excited about.

    I am thrilled by the organic drums Joaquin did, they added the perfect texture it was missing. The mastering made my mix more coherent and dynamic! Working with Joaquin was a pleasure, he kept me in the loop every step of the way, and I will for sure work with him again.
    I highly recommend him!

    Working with Joaquin was amazing ! Not only he recorded great drums to all the 3 tracks on my EP but also provided great insight and suggestions on every single musical aspect: lyrics, melodies, arrangements, composition, etc. His musical range its so wide and he totally understood what I wanted and needed to be done, i will definitely work with him again and I absolutly recommend anyone to work with him.

    Joaquin totally get what I was looking for my record! He managed perfectly well all the dynamics and hues of the different songs and instruments. I give a lot of attention according to lyrics in every song, and he put the vocals in the precise place I wanted.
    I highly recommend this guy for any kind of mixing and mastering.

    I recorded my first album 15 years ago. during these years i met and worked with so many people but always felt i didn't find the right one. until i met joaquin. not only he read and understood my music within our first meeting, but he also offered himself to record the drums from the album, and he's the best drummer i've ever had! His mixes and masterings took the album to another level of professionalism. he is always on time with deadlines. i highly recommend his services. FIVE STARS!!
