I’m especially focused on helping independent artists improve the quality of their music and better understand the creative and technical side of releasing music professionally.

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

A: I’ve connected with many talented professionals through the music industry, and I’m always open to recommending specialists when a project requires a skill outside my area of expertise. I believe collaboration is an important part of making great music.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital. Today’s digital tools give me incredible flexibility, precision, recall, and creative possibilities. I still appreciate the character of analog equipment and use analog-inspired processing when it serves the song, but I believe the best results come from knowing how to use the tools rather than being limited by one format.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I love hearing a song transform during the mixing process. Taking an idea that an artist created and helping it become something that feels powerful, emotional, and ready to share with the world is the most rewarding part of what I do.

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

A: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer? The most common questions are: “Can you make my song sound professional?”, “Can you make the vocals sound better?”, and “How much can you improve my mix?” My answer is that I can bring out the best in what they have, but the final result also depends on the quality of the recording, performance, arrangement, and production. My job is to maximize the potential of the song while staying true to the artist’s vision.

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

A: One of the biggest misconceptions is that mixing is simply making everything louder or adding more effects. Good engineering is really about making creative decisions, understanding the artist, controlling the relationship between all the elements, and knowing what to change—and sometimes what not to change—to make the song connect with the listener.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I usually ask what they want the song to feel like, what artists or songs they use as references, what they like or dislike about their current version, what their goals are for the release, and what they want the listener to experience. I also ask about the recording quality, available stems, deadlines, and any specific technical requirements.

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

A: Choose someone who understands your music and your vision, not just someone who knows how to use plugins. Look at their previous work, communicate your expectations clearly, and make sure their style fits what you are trying to achieve. A good engineer should enhance your music while respecting your identity as an artist.

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

A: Pro Tools, a great pair of studio monitors, a high-quality microphone, a reliable audio interface, and my favorite pair of headphones. With those five things, I can still record, produce, edit, mix, and make decisions with confidence.

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

A: I started my career in music more than 20 years ago, originally working as a DJ and music programmer before moving deeper into production and audio engineering. Over the years I developed my skills in recording, mixing, mastering, vocal production, and music production, working with artists and professionals in the Latin and urban music industry. My career has continued to evolve through technology, education, studio work, and hands-on experience with real-world releases.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is clean, powerful, musical, and detail-oriented. I like mixes that feel modern and impactful without losing the character of the artist. I focus heavily on vocals, dynamics, space, low-end control, and making the song translate well across different listening environments.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would love to work with De la Ghetto and New Artist too because of his ability to constantly evolve while maintaining a strong artistic identity. His projects combine unconventional ideas with mainstream impact, which creates a lot of creative opportunities for a producer and engineer.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t mix louder—mix clearer. Before adding more plugins, make sure the arrangement, vocal performance, levels, and frequency balance are already working. A great mix usually starts with great decisions, not more processing.

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

A: I primarily work on Reggaeton, Latin urban, Trap, Hip-Hop, R&B, and commercial Latin music. I also work across different genres when the project has a strong artistic vision.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is my ears. I can identify what a song needs from both a technical and musical perspective and find the right balance between clarity, punch, emotion, and character.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring experience, emotion, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of what a song needs to connect with the listener. I focus on enhancing the artist’s identity rather than changing it, making the vocals feel powerful, the production feel alive, and the final mix translate professionally across different listening systems.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by understanding the artist’s vision, references, genre, and the emotional direction of the song. I then organize and prepare the session, clean and edit the recordings when necessary, and build the mix around the vocals, rhythm, and overall identity of the song. I focus on balance, clarity, dynamics, depth, and translation across different listening systems. I review the final mix carefully and make revisions based on both technical standards and the artist’s creative goals.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is a professional hybrid mixing and production environment built around Pro Tools, high-quality monitoring, analog and digital processing, and a carefully designed acoustic environment. I work with professional outboard gear, reference-grade monitoring, and a wide collection of plugins for mixing, mastering, vocal processing, and production. My setup is designed to allow me to move between creative production and detailed mixing while maintaining an accurate and controlled sound.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I’m inspired by engineers, producers, and artists who have helped shape modern Latin and urban music. I have great respect for professionals such as Michael Brauer, Manny Marroquin, Chris Lord-Alge, Serban Ghenea, and the many Latin producers and engineers who have pushed the sound of reggaeton and urban music forward. I’m especially inspired by people who combine technical precision with creativity and emotion.

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

A: I primarily work with artists, producers, and music professionals on mixing, mastering, vocal production, music production, and overall sound development. I specialize in urban music, including reggaeton, Latin trap, hip-hop, R&B, and commercial music. I also help artists improve the technical and creative quality of their music so it is ready for professional release.
