Music Producer | Mix & Master

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

A: One project I'm especially proud of is Volver a casa, the album by Cinnamon. I was involved in virtually every aspect of its creation, including composition, arrangement, recording, music production, mixing, and mastering. Having such a hands-on role throughout the entire process allowed me to help shape the album's identity from the earliest ideas to the final master. It's a project that means a lot to me because I could bring together my creative and technical skills to create something cohesive and meaningful.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm currently working on my first full-length solo album as Peivol, exploring new sounds and developing my own artistic identity. I'm also rehearsing and performing as the live bassist for Samuel Acosta & Los Colets.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: I'd recommend Samuel Acosta, Joaquín Carrasco, and Ezequiel Lencina. They're all great musicians and producers whose creativity and musical skills I really appreciate.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I love the warmth and unique character of analog gear. Working with hardware feels more hands-on and inspiring to me, and it makes me want to experiment more. On the other hand, digital tools offer convenience, precision, and a level of cleanliness that's hard to achieve otherwise. I choose my approach depending on the project, often finding the right balance between both worlds.

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

A: My promise is that we won't consider a project finished until we're both completely happy with the result. I want my clients to feel confident and excited about their music, and I'm willing to keep refining the details until we achieve a result that truly represents their vision.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I enjoy most is being able to bring both my own ideas and my clients' ideas to life through music. I love the creative process of turning an initial concept into something real, finding the right sounds, and helping artists express themselves through their music.

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

A: Clients often ask me how to bring their musical ideas to life, what the production process involves, and how we can achieve the sound they're looking for. I like to understand their vision, references, and goals first, so we can build a clear direction for the project together.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: People often say that nowadays, with autotune and all editing tools, anyone can make music. However, it's not the case. All artists using these tools possess skills in various areas to be great musicians. Autotune doesn't solve a lack of creativity, for example; it's just one more tool.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What are you seeking with the song, what is your goal, how would you like it to sound, what elements would you like me to contribute to the song, and what are your musical references for this project?

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

A: For potential clients seeking my services, I'd advise ensuring clear communication about your musical vision and expectations. Provide as much detail as possible, share references, and be open to collaboration. Additionally, feel free to ask any questions you may have about the process. A successful collaboration is built on a mutual understanding of goals and a transparent exchange of ideas.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: A computer, my synthesizer, an interface, microphone, and headphones.

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

A: User I started producing my own songs and covers in 2018, but I've been studying music since I was 7. In 2020, I became more focused on making a living from this passion, and in 2022, I began studying Music Production at ORT University, where I have one final project remaining to complete the program. I've been working with artists for a year, handling production, mixing, mastering, and recording instruments.

A: I enjoy collaborating with artists with whom I can establish a musical connection, and usually, we share a similar taste in music.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: A valuable tip I can offer is that sometimes less is more. It's better to use a few elements that sound exactly as intended rather than adding unclear or unnecessary layers that don't contribute positively to the overall song. Clarity and purpose in each element often result in a more impactful and effective musical composition.

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

A: I typically work in indie, rock, and pop genres, but I am versatile and have experience in various styles from shoegaze to reggaeton. When it comes to mixing and mastering, I can handle a wide range of genres as long as the artist provides clear references for their desired sound.

Q: What's your strongest skill?
