Mix & Master

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: In 2022 I was working on the recording for a Netflix series, called "El amor después del amor" that recounts part of the life of the Argentine artist Fito Páez, from his beginnings, to the recording of the album El amor después del amor, which would end being the best-selling album in the history of Argentine music. It was very special for me because I have been a great admirer of Fito Paez since I was very young, and having been part of this series that today is a success in Latin America fills me with pride. My role was as a live recording engineer, it was a challenge because the music that is heard in the series, from the scenes that recreate rehearsals or shows, was recorded live at the time of filming, to achieve that they did a great casting of musical actors.

It's not a job if you can enjoy it.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: If it is necessary to go to record in large studios to achieve ultra-professional results in productions. My answer is no, although it is beautiful to go to record in large studios, in the era in which we live, it is already proven that technology gives us the possibility of being able to work in a very professional way, achieving incredible results, if not, let's look the tremendous success of artists like Billie Eilish who recorded the Album in a room and it was a worldwide success, not only because it sounds incredible, but because it is artistically spectacular.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: First of all, listening to the song several times to understand what each artist wants to express, and what it makes me feel, without thinking about technical processes. then, see what that song needs technically to achieve that goal.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

Managed by a Universal Audio interface, and controlled by Pro Tools 2023, as well as Ableton Live, although I use it more for music production processes.
