Interview with Emi the chef
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I’m especially proud of “Esta Es Tu Casa Nena” by Camilo & Kapo, one of my biggest recent projects, where I handled production, vocal recording, and mixing.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I’m currently working on several projects, including an 8-track pop album, three urban music albums featuring afrobeat, reggaeton and trap, and the music for an international English course for children.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: No
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I love working with both. My analog gear adds rich harmonics and color, while great plugins provide the final touch and precision to every project.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise to every client is to take their music to the highest level, creating a competitive, industry-standard sound.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: What clients love most about my work is the natural, dynamic sound I achieve—avoiding excessive compression and keeping every song alive, open, and full of emotion.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: The question clients ask me most is: “How can you work so many hours without getting tired?” My answer is simple: I love what I do, so it never feels like work.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: A common misconception is that a producer or engineer can fix a poorly recorded song or major musical mistakes. Send a solid, professional project so I can take your music to the next level.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: The first question I ask potential clients is: “Tell me about your music identity and why it represents you.”
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: My advice is to talk to me, share your essence and musical philosophy, and tell me what you want to express. Understanding your vision helps me translate it into sound.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If I were stranded on a desert island, I’d bring my computer, an audio interface, a microphone, headphones, and a MIDI controller.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have 14 years of experience in music, including 9 years working in the international industry alongside major artists.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is unique. I work with artists to create their own sound, giving every beat and final song an atmosphere that transports listeners into the story and emotion behind the music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d love to work with artists like Ariana Grande, Feid, and blink-182. They are major musical references and artists I deeply admire.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Create atmospheres that evolve with the production. Build each section with intention, gradually adding elements and energy until you reach the emotional climax of the song.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I specialize in urban music such as reggaeton, trap, and afrobeat, while also having extensive experience in pop and electronic music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My greatest strengths are delivering the highest-quality sound with exceptional efficiency, fast turnaround times, and agility throughout the revision process.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: As a professional musician and audio engineer, I bring a strong musical approach to every mix, creating sonics that connect emotionally and capture the soul of each song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I work in Pro Tools for mixing and mastering. I first listen to the song, understand its vibe and what the artist and producer want to convey, then enhance the track without losing its essence.
