Surgical, punchy and clean mixes.

I can't assure you the perfect mix, but the killer mix. I am Jorge Mendoza, a producer, mixing and mastering engineer from Mexico City. My workflow allows to me to have surgical control over dynamics and frequency balance. Once I have that control, I polish tracks to blend with each other, giving them uniqueness, character and color. The ultimate goal is to create space to maximize creative effects and freedom to give movement to the mix and enhance elements depending on the concept. My task is to give you a new musical perspective that complements your ideas. I'm all about fidelity to the original sound.

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

  3. Q: How would you describe your style?

  4. A: Surgical. I like my tracks to be perfectly settled to every process in the mix.

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

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

  16. A: I bring punch and creativity to the song so it translates as an emotional product that people can relate to.

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

  18. A: First of all, talk with the customer. I cannot work if I don't know what is my client looking for. Maybe talk about references, song/album concepts, creative traits, etc. Once we understand each other and have set a goal, I put my hands on the tracks and start organizing my analog emulation signal path.

  19. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  20. A: Almost entirely digital. I have a couple of Barefoot Micromain, however I'm used to reference my mixes with my Audio-techinca ATH-M40X headphones at times.

  26. A: I'm most proud of the last album mixed and mastered: Tetragurú by Mindot. It is a Reggae/Pop and I loved working with the songs because in every mix I could achieve the creative I was looking for. I helped the songs to became memorable for every listener.

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

  28. A: I can't promise the perfect mix, but I promise I will give you the mix that fits into your concepts and your yearnings.
