Interview with Javier Valdeavellano

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

  2. A: Gian Marco’s album Intuición. I was the chief engineer at KC Porter’s studio, and both KC and Gian Marco liked my rough mixes so much they asked me to mix the entire album. It was a huge vote of confidence and a turning point in my career.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: Wrapping up mixes for Panteón Rococó’s 30th anniversary album, which I also had the honor of co-producing alongside KC Porter. A milestone project with deep heart and energy.

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

  6. A: Axe Follin, he's an amazing producer from Argentina: https://soundbetter.com/profiles/10927-axefollin

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Digital—it offers more precision, flexibility, and consistency. I love using analog gear for certain vibes, but digital gives me the control and efficiency I need.

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

  10. A: I promise unlimited revisions, fast turnarounds, and mixes that are radio-ready—until you’re completely satisfied with the final result.

  11. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  12. A: I love the process of taking a track from almost there to done, and seeing it ready to connect with an audience. It’s the ultimate creative satisfaction.

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

  14. A: Most clients ask about budget. I let them know I offer flexible options depending on the scope of the project—but I always aim to deliver top-tier, release-ready results that are worth the investment.

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

  16. A: That mixing is just about balancing faders—it’s about shaping emotion and creating a mix that serves the song, not just the technical elements. Oh, and mixing is not the same as DJ-ing!

  17. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  18. A: I ask about their vision for the track, reference songs, and the emotional feel they want in the final mix. I also like to understand their artistic journey and how this song/album fits into it.

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

  20. A: Look for someone who understands your vision and can bring it to life—check their experience, flexibility, and willingness to collaborate.

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

  22. A: 1–MacBook Pro M2, 2–RME ADI ProFS, 3–Audeze Headphones, 4–Portable solar power generator, 5–Starlink Mini

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

  24. A: I’ve been working in music for over 14 years, starting as a producer and evolving into mixing 8 years ago. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Grammy-winning producers like KC Porter.

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: My style is dynamic and emotional, with a focus on making every mix feel powerful, balanced, and true to the artist’s vision.

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

  28. A: Paul McCartney. He’s a living legend, and honestly, I can’t think of anyone bigger. The chance to contribute to his legacy would be surreal.

  29. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  30. A: Focus on the song first—a great mix starts with a solid foundation, so make sure your song's structure and melodic contrast are tight before worrying about details.

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

  32. A: Music that’s crafted to hit emotionally—with dopamine-triggering hooks, punchy grooves, and contrasting vibes that keep listeners coming back.

  33. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  34. A: Spotting energy or movement monotony and enhancing emotional contrast across sections to keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

  35. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  36. A: I bring a producer’s ear to mixing—creating tracks that aren’t just balanced but emotionally impactful and ready for radio.

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?

  38. A: I start with a pre-mix consult to align on vision, followed by mixing with unlimited revisions and fast turnarounds to fine-tune until the track is perfect.

  39. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  40. A: I work inside the box with Pro Tools, ensuring precision and flexibility. My monitoring setup includes ProAc Studio 100 monitors powered by a Bryston 4B-ST amp—the same combo used by top engineers like Serban Ghenea, Mark "Spike" Stent, and Michael Brauer for their world-class mixes.

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

  42. A: KC Porter and engineers like Serban Ghenea, Tchad Blake, Michael Brauer, Jaycen Joshua, and Al Schmitt. Their ability to shape emotion through sound is a constant source of inspiration.

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

  44. A: I provide remote mixing, focusing on making tracks release-ready with a fast turnaround, unlimited revisions, and personalized consultations to nail that final 5%.
