Mixing & Mastering

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

A: Give opportunities to producers who may not have won 4 grammys or don't have billions of strems. They can have equal or better results

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, a first "mix" without plug-ins to try to put everything in its place before processing. If I'm producing I like to listen to music that doesn't have so much to do with what I'm about to work on. Sometimes it brings new ideas. I start with the rhythmic thing like the beat or the tempo with which we are going to work on the song, seeing 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: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Yeah. I know Andres Mayo. He is one of the best mixing and master engineers in Argentina.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I like most is learning. And then take what I learned to my next production. I like it when a client is happy with my work and listeners appreciate the searching sound of a musical project, whether it be a single or an album.

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 also work in production. I really like working with samples, adding textures and complementing the sound design with the artistic arrangement.
