Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: A project that I keep with love was 11 years ago, I had to record the sounds of a shirt factory, and compose a song with the sounds of that factory synchronously with a video.I'm surprised that they still have it on their website.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Right now I am working on several projects, songs by some indie musicians from my country and electronic music productions
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I don't know anyone, I'm new in SoundBetter
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog for various reasons, 3d image, headroom, warmth

A: way too perfectionist
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: How would you like your song to sounds like?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: That respects the levels, that sounding higher does not mean sounding better.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I can't live without my Atc 100, but I would also have to take my crane song avocet, my kahayan summing mixer, the lynx aurora (n) and my Korg kronnos
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started in 2003 as soon as I finished my higher studies in sound.I started my first studio 17 years ago.

A: What I usually achieve in each song is clarity, punch and dimension. That everything sounds its in place.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: The first thing I do is listen to the song well, if I have to mix it I see that each track is at a suitable level, phase etc. Then I insert everything into my summing mixer,It depends on how you want to sound, I put it in transparent mode or with the color of the SSL 4000 and from there I start to process all the elements of the song. If I have to master a song first I listen to the song and observe the levels phase and after that I apply my chain, normally in M / S mode passed through by my dangerous liason.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The job that I usually do is mixing and mastering, from instrumental house to very dark techno. Also hip hop too.
