  23. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  24. A: on the first EP that i produced from the rock girls from Baby Dollz band, cause i was there in the whole process of producing, recording, i mixed and mastered it too, we didn't use any of virtual drums or instruments, everything was real, we mic the drums, the guitar cabinets, it was very professional, and we are very happy with the album. I think we accomplished something unique and they have a style very different from other girls bands, i think they have they unique sound. I´m very proud too cause i didn't have nor the gear or the knowledge i have know, yet, it came up awesome.

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: i think it is kind of a melodic metal style, hard rocking to the core.

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

  28. A: a lot of artists, from all genres i think, like for example, metallica, iron maiden, Maroon 5, Hans Zimmer, Megadeth, Children Of Bodom, Dream Theater, The killers, among others, cause i think they are very talented people, i think i might learn a lot from them and also cause they seem very professional at what they do, and because i love their music

  29. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  30. A: Get it right at the source, don't wait til the mixing phase to solve issues, solve them in the recording phase, make the best performance that you can, be very prepared in the recording. Try to make arrangmentes in the song to make it more interesting from start to finish, and take the listener to a journey.

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

  32. A: rock & metal music

  33. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  34. A: i think as a producer, i have my strongest skill, i´m always with ideas in my mind to make a better song, make cool arrangements.

  35. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  36. A: i think i can do cool arrangments to the song, that fit the music and the vibe, to make it more interesting than what it is.

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?

  38. A: i take a lot of time for recording because if you get it right at the source, you are not gonna have problems mixing, take the time in mic placement to get the sound we want, in mixing i spend a lot of time balancing the tracks, before applyting eq or compression, then i jump to EQ, then compression, then effects and finally i do automation to make the song more alive and i like to put my input on the arrangements, doing interesting mixing stuff that makes the song cooler than what it is. i reference a lot my mix with commercial mixes, same as mastering. I am very careful with loudness wars, i deliver a song with clarity, punch, fatness, dynamic and loud aswell, but without crushing the life.
