Endorse Joel Valera
Joel Valera is a true professional, right along with his crew. One Music Studios is affordable and the team there cares about the quality of the product and the customer. They really took the time with our music and offered awesome feedback, helping my band’s (Leap Year Fiasco) songs become radio ready. It definitely wouldn’t have come out as good as it did without Joel and the One Music Studios team. Big thanks!

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Listen to the original material, then I listen to the reference songs at least 4 times before I actually touch the material. Listen to my clients audio with a more clinical ear, address possible corrections if need it and send to client for approval before emu mixing. Once client approve the corrections we submerge in to mixing for 4-6 hours, take a break and revisit the mix the next day 2-4 hours, then we send a premix to the client for review or changes, once customer approve the premix, we proceed to master. Our process takes about 2-4 days.
