EDM/Pop Mixing & Mastering

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: Working on my career is my life, that's my main project :)

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Yes, there's lot of great providers here on SoundBetter, but they are too many to mention.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: That I get to hear a lot of great songs and that I'm able to help other like-minded people. I love it!

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: I get asked a lot if I need dry or wet stems to get started. I need both, I use the wet stems to get a clear idea of what the client is after, and then improve upon that.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Do your research and find a person that understands and connects with your idea on the same level as you.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I love dance music that sounds a bit aggressive but refined, I always love the engineering aspect of it.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm constantly working at my studio on my music.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both. There's something special in analog gear, it's that 3% at the end that makes a difference.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I promise that we'll work things out until you get what you expect.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: "In order to achieve those crazy loud volumes you have to do it in the master". WRONG!. The secret is in the Mix.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask customers to provide at least 2 reference songs and their own render so I can have a better idea of what they are looking for.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My laptop, my speakers and a midi keyboard. That's it

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started really early, I was djing when I was only 11 years old. I have been producing for more than 10 years now. I'm touring constantly thanks to my songs.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would like to work with Axwell or Calvin Harris. I just love their songs and production/songwritting techniques

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Use less tools and plugins to get your work done. The more you specialize in the few things you have, the more you get out of it.

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

A: I usually work on EDM and Pop music. But I also do other genres like Reggaeton, Trap, Dubstep, you name it.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I became obsessed with Mixing and Mastering, so I started learning from many engineers while I worked in Los Angeles in a studio. From there I developed my own techniques and processes.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring that special sparkle that makes a song truly shine on the radio and streaming services.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I get the stems from my clients into Logic, then I organize them in groups and start working from there. I listen and then process each stem, one by one.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio runs on Logic Pro X. I use a Universal Audio Apollo Interface with Genelec 8040a Speakers and Yamaha NS10m Speakers. I have a custom made SSL Compressor that does wonders to glue my mixes and 4 Pultec Clones, no plug-ins can even come close for this task. I really know how to use my plugins and how to get the best of them. I use a combination of analog and digital processors.

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

A: I get inspired by many producers and engineers, but mostly it's Axwell, deadmau5, Luca Pretolesi and Calvin Harris

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

A: I get asked constantly to Mix and Master songs for fellow artists. I love doing this so I decided to join SoundBetter just to do it more.
