Mixing & Mastering

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: If I'm mixing, I like to listen to music first. Before I hurriedly get to work. I usually listen to music similar to what I'm about to work on. Sometimes not, completely different things, but to "warm up a little". Then I start organizing the project, grouping tracks, gain stagin. I start mixing with just the faders and panning, a first "mix" without plug-ins to try to put everything in its place before processing. If I'm producing I use to start the "warm up" just as with the mix, listening to music. I start with the rhythmic thing like the beat, finding the tempo in which we are going to work on the song, listening if the melody flows with that speed and rhythm. I like to work with samples, layers and try to ensure that each instrument occupies its correct place in the song.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I usually ask for audio references. This is used to know what expectations the client has for your work. And also as a guide to produce, mix, master

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Try to capture the ideas you have and record them. Don't worry so much about the audio. Sometimes even those takes that are demo end up being final versions of songs. Give yourself room for improvisation and error!!!!

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

A: I like to work on alternative rock, pop and hip hop. But now more than anything mixing these genres with touches of electronic and a lot of synthesis

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I think one of my good skills is that I give a little more than what the client is looking for. Always with respect and maintaining the artist's vision. I look to add something from post-production that contributes to the feeling of the song.

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

A: Radiohead, Tame Impala, Gorillaz, Led Zeppelin, Sufjan Stevens, Elliot Moss, David Bryne, The Beatles, Lisandro Aristimuño, Gustavo Cerati, Charly Garcia, Luis Alberto Spinetta,

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

A: I mainly do mixing and mastering. I like to think of mixing as a process that seeks to highlight the production process, but also to add textures and flavor to the songs. Whenever possible, I try some processing closer to what one would call "post-production" and try to bring ideas to the clients, as long as they're in line with what they're looking for.
