I am passionate about audio editing, as a musician I interpret the foundation of various styles from Latin or reggae, to hard rock, folk or jazz. If necessary, edit manually, or grid it until reaching the expected cohesion. Or in the best of cases, if the style warrants it, select the best shot and keep it as natural as possible. I handle with precision different tuners such as Melodyne, Waves tune, Antares Auto tune according to the artistic intention that helps the interpretation that is somewhat subtle or stands out as an effect. I am known for being methodical and orderly, using color codes and shortcuts to maintain focus. I am used to working under technical demands and responding to established deadlines.
