mixing bands since '97

Jalipaz on SoundBetter

dad, husband, owner and head engineer of audioconfusion creative recording space I've been recording for over 20 years and dabbling with audio in general for even longer. I like "real" sounds. No over processing here.

Audioconfusion has been running strong in the valley since '97.

HERE ARE SOME KIND WORDS:
There are few Arizona studios with a loyal following like Audioconfusion and even less producers like Jalipaz. Known to generations of artists as a musical godfather and mentor, he unflinchingly captures the magic behind the soundboard at Audioconfusion. There aren't any one-size-fits-all gated reverbs or cookie cutter compression effects here. Every recording session is authentic and real. Where some studios bank on delivering a “signature sound,” Audioconfusion is based upon the premise of genuine musicality backed by a strong work ethic. Every recording session and album are unique productions where the artist's character can shine through. The results are honest, raw, and brilliant – just like the first album you fell in love with. ~ Jonathan Cisneros

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

  28. A: My main influences are Steve Albini (pixies, nirvana), Dave Fridmann (the flaming lips, mgmt) and George Martin (the beatles)
