Mixing and Mastering Engineer

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital, definitely. The tools available today are insanely powerful and precise—you can achieve a clean, professional, and competitive sound completely in-the-box. Plus, the flexibility and recall you get with digital workflows are essential when working with multiple clients and fast turnarounds. It’s not about choosing one over the other because of nostalgia—it's about using the tools that give you the best results efficiently.

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

A: I’ll treat your song like it’s my own. My goal is to bring out the full potential of your music with a clean, powerful, and competitive sound. I’ll listen carefully to your needs and won’t stop until you’re fully happy with the result.

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

A: People often think mastering is just making a song louder, or that mixing is just adjusting volumes. In reality, both involve hundreds of tiny decisions that shape the emotional impact of a track. It’s not just technical—it’s creative. My job is not only to make your music sound clean and balanced, but to enhance its feeling and message.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: - What kind of feeling or vibe do you want the song to have? - Are there any reference tracks you want me to keep in mind? - What’s the priority: loudness, dynamics, warmth, clarity? - Do you want any specific effects or creative touches on the vocals? - What’s your deadline and how many revisions do you expect?

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

A: Know what kind of sound you’re looking for, and be open to communication. Reference tracks can go a long way to speed up the process and avoid miscommunication. Also, trust the process—sometimes a fresh perspective on your track can take it somewhere better than you imagined. Finally, make sure your stems are clean, organized, and with enough headroom.

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

A: I started making EDM on FL Studio back in 2015, just experimenting for fun. That later evolved into producing trap beats, which introduced me to the world of mixing and mastering. In 2020, I began studying audio engineering at university, and that’s when I really got serious about the technical side of sound. Since then, mixing and mastering have been my main focus and profession.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Always gain stage properly before you start mixing. Don’t rely on faders alone—make sure your levels are balanced at the source. Keeping your tracks around -18 dBFS ensures your plugins work optimally and gives you more headroom to shape the sound without distortion or unnecessary clipping. It’s one of those habits that separates an amateur mix from a professional one.

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

A: I mostly work on trap, reggaeton, hip hop, and Latin pop. Those are the genres I feel most connected to, both creatively and technically. I understand their energy, their dynamics, and how they need to hit emotionally and sonically. That said, I’m always open to exploring new sounds and styles.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Most of the time, I mix and master complete tracks—especially within urban genres like trap, reggaeton, and pop. Vocal processing is one of my favorite parts of the job—I really enjoy sculpting the tone, clarity, and depth of a voice so it fits perfectly in the mix. Whether it’s enhancing the vibe of a beat or giving a song that final polished sound, I make sure everything translates well across all systems.
