Nacor Zuluaga Mixing & Mastering: Grammy-nominated hybrid mixing and mastering. Engineering credits include Enrique Iglesias, Andra, Deadpool, and Passion Pit.
After being mentored by Mark Christensen in 2011-2013 mastering projects for artists like Robin Schulz (on the Grammy-nominated Remix of 'Waves' by Mr. Probz for Best Remix), Trey Songz, and 50 Cent, in 2021 I joined Alex Tumay in his daily studio operation at Do What Sounds Good mixing projects for acts like $not, ShordieShordie, and Young Thug.
Having worked in commercial studios in NYC since 2011, as staff mix/mastering engineer/operations manager I’ve dedicated myself exclusively to Mixing and Mastering since 2014.
For the past 10 years and after collaborating with creatives like you and over a hundred production teams around the world, I've learned that the most important part of the mixing and mastering process is to connect as creatives and identify together the needs of the project. This is what enables us to craft a record that channels and captures your vision.
Whether you are just debuting independently or have the support of a label team connecting the dots, my sole intention remains the same: to contribute to your dreams with the gifts I have been given.

Nacor is 100% a life-changing engineer. Not only is he easy to work with and communicate with, but he's also willing to work around tight timelines. I was surprised to see how few revisions I needed with him; he seemed to crack the cleanest sound from the get-go; all while hyping up the project. Will definitely be working with him again and recommend him to everyone looking for a stress-free experience.

Nacor was very patient, relaxed and a great listener. This is very rare in today’s short attention span society. Hired for some basic vocal tuning and look forward to using his services again in the future on my Simulated Recordings imprint. Highly Recommended.

All positive vibes when working with Nacor! I had a vision for the mix, he added his skills and the rest is one happy client. This was my first time having Nacor mix and master my music. He did it with the care and devotion of a true professional. On top of excellent mixing and mastering, I really enjoyed the flawless and cordial communication.
Now I can sit back, relax and let Nacor's sweet-sounding mix embrace the speakers and headphones of those "tuning in".

Here is someone that genuinely cares about your music and your vision, and has the skills to craft it into a chart-ready track.

Working with Nacor was a beautiful experience. He was really open to discuss budget and terms of the job which made it easy and comfortable for him to fit our project and team. We were pleasantly surprised with how polished the work was and the amount of attention to detail (I would go as far as calling it love) put into his work. He was extremely open to our comments and just included them tastefully. It was so fluid we went as far as not needing to use all the included revisions.

So happy I chose to work with Nacor. As an indie artist professional mixing/mastering is a big investment, but, I am %100 satisfied I went for it. Nacor is a true professional, his work is incredible and speaks for itself. Now I can move forward confidently, knowing that my project is as good as it can be, and can stand beside commercial mixes. Beyond that, Nacor was very gracious in helping with arrangement suggestions which helped improve my project. Looking forward to the next one.

Nacor is an incredible producer, mixer and master engineer. He listened carefully to our vision and executed it with finesse. We had a bunch of background elements in our mix and Nacor was able to give them the perfect resonance so that they could slide in perfectly without taking away from the main vocal. The final mastered version is industry quality and can compete with any top hit. Furthermore, Nacor is a great person and fun to work with. Sending my next song to him as well!

Interview with Nacor Zuluaga Morelo
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Clients don't hire me for my gear or to create a mix. Clients hire me because they respect my taste in music and know that I can help them make their music sound professional and well crafted.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: When clients ask me how they can make their records sound bigger and more mature I encourage them to use the least amount of tracks in their arrangements. When I produce, I try to keep my track count as low possible and avoid layering unnecessary elements. Keeping things simple is certainly the key to massive/in your face records. The abundance of space within the production lets the mix breath and reach greater perceived loudness without having to max out your headroom or doing much EQ carving. In music, less is certainly more.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A creative set of ears and a skill set that carefully crafts a story for each song I work on. A refresh and assertive sound.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Chameleonic. Good communication is the most important vehicle we have available to create your dreamed record.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always ask people about their goals and needs on any given project, understanding people's background and dreams allows me to structure a plan and engineer the record with precision. Every project is DIFFERENT.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Mixing a really exciting EDM record.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: The absolute best of me on each song I touch. I will make sure our experience working together is a time where we can enjoy ourselves while we unveil the purpose inside your music.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The personal connection I build with each single one of my clients and their craft.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Good discernment and musicality.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, you can achieve incredible results in both domains if you are CREATIVE and experienced.
