C. Sainz on SoundBetter

As it sounds in your head, I´ll put it on your speakers.

I am a musician, producer and sound engineer with more than 25 years of experience. I have worked both live and in the studio with dozens of artists.

I have composed and recorded the original music for many documentaries of companies like Transglobe Films and Explora Films, directed by well-known filmmakers such as Manuel Morales or Gerardo Olivares (who was awarded with the "Espiga de Oro" at the Valladolid Film Festival).

I still have the same passion and enthusiasm with which I started and I would be happy to mix or produce your project in my studio.

I have a wonderful Solid State Logic 4000 E/G 64 input analog mixer in perfect condition. My main DAW is Pro Tools nurtured with a huge collection of pro audio plug ins from various top brands. I can also import sessions from Logic Pro.

I have multiple peripheral processing equipment both analog and digital. Modern and Vintage.

By the way, in a few weeks we will install an original Studer A800 24-track 2-inch recorder completely restored and overhauled so we can play with it ;)

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

I had the pleasure of working with this incredible music producer on my latest project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their attention to detail, creativity, and passion for music truly shine through in every track they produce. Not only talented at bringing ideas to life, but they also have a knack for understanding and enhancing the artist's vision. Working with this producer was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to collaborate again in the future

I can only say about this guy that he is a great producer and music arranger. His work is a good example of well produced music. Talented man.

I’ve worked for so long with Carlos in his studio. He worked in 9 records made for the best 9 emerging bands in Spain as a part of the Contest Vodafone yu Music Talent.

The result was always perfect: the quality, the cost, the timing, the empathy, the intuition with the artists…Always better than predicted. His dedication & knowledge is incredible. His productions skills are very amazing.

I will work with him again, and I would always recommend him!
