Collaborated with many international top artists. Licensed many of my songs to movies and commercials, reached many charts, released on major labels and have millions of streams. I like to do powerful EDM & Pop mixdowns and masters. Check out my work!
I have been working as a DJ/Producer for almost 15 years. I have released on Spinnin' Records, Universal Music and many other big labels. Was invited to do a Masterclass for the Berklee College of Music in my country to teach my production techniques.
I really enjoy Mixing and Mastering songs. I've developed and perfected my skills as a mixing and mastering engineer with my own techniques for many years. I know how to use my gear and plugins and how to get the best of them. I use a combination of analog gear and plugins depending on the track. I'm ready to make your song stand out and sound incredible!.
I'm specialized in modern techniques to Mix & Master EDM (Electro, Progressive House, Future House, Future Bass, Trance, Techno) and Pop (I also do vocal comping, tuning and aligning).
I will work and communicate with you until you get the result you are looking for.

Great insights, and always so helpful with my productions!

Nothing short of professional, flexible, outstanding, communicative and open. Oscar's passion for music and care for his clients shows, and makes the difference in his mixes/masters. I've worked with other engineers, and while they technically are fine, they lack in areas Oscar excels, plus his mixes/masters are warm, clean and energetic. Why I am a repeat customer. You will not be disappointed by having Oscar give you the professional mix/master you deserve.

Great mix job from Oscar. My song was overly complex and I had lots of notes for him to work around, and he did a fantastic job despite all that. I highly recommend Oscar!

Oscar provided me with Mixing/Mastering services. He completed an outstanding job balancing my song & bringing up the volume a few dbs. I've been working with Oscar for the past year or so, every mix/master has been outstanding. As always, highly recommended to anyone looking for a professional mix/master. Very responsible, responsible and timely.

Oscar was a huge help on this latest track of mine!
- check_circleVerified
I had no problem deciding to have Oscar mix/master my entire 7 track EP. He knows a lot about mixing modern styles, and getting a deep punchy low end, great separation, mixes that will sound right on any system.

Another great mix/master by Oscar! This is the 4th mix he has done for me. I used to spend so much time trying to get my mixes right, and not knowing for sure when they were "done". I looked at tons of mix engineers on SoundBetter, and listened to their mixes, finally choosing Oscar due to good reviews and clean mixes. After he mixed my first track, I sent it to one of the top organic house labels....and they agreed to release it! Now Im having Oscar mix and master the whole album!

Another great mix! Once again Oscar gets great definition on all the sounds and brings out the key elements. My tracks are a blend of electronic sounds and acoustic stuff like percussion and clarinet, and Oscar knows how to treat each track and bring out the overall idea of the song!
check_circleVerifiedOscar works patiently and efficiently, and achieves a great sound result!
- check_circleVerified
Oscar did a great job of bringing out the right elements of my track, and got great separation between sounds. The mix/master sounds great on my Focal Solo studio monitors and on headphones. I know it will sound good in clubs too, because I compared it with several tracks that I have heard often on club systems.
Interview with Oscar Troya
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm constantly working at my studio on my music.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. There's something special in analog gear, it's that 3% at the end that makes a difference.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise that we'll work things out until you get what you expect.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: "In order to achieve those crazy loud volumes you have to do it in the master". WRONG!. The secret is in the Mix.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask customers to provide at least 2 reference songs and their own render so I can have a better idea of what they are looking for.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My laptop, my speakers and a midi keyboard. That's it
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started really early, I was djing when I was only 11 years old. I have been producing for more than 10 years now. I'm touring constantly thanks to my songs.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with Axwell or Calvin Harris. I just love their songs and production/songwritting techniques
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Use less tools and plugins to get your work done. The more you specialize in the few things you have, the more you get out of it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on EDM and Pop music. But I also do other genres like Reggaeton, Trap, Dubstep, you name it.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I became obsessed with Mixing and Mastering, so I started learning from many engineers while I worked in Los Angeles in a studio. From there I developed my own techniques and processes.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring that special sparkle that makes a song truly shine on the radio and streaming services.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I get the stems from my clients into Logic, then I organize them in groups and start working from there. I listen and then process each stem, one by one.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio runs on Logic Pro X. I use a Universal Audio Apollo Interface with Genelec 8040a Speakers and Yamaha NS10m Speakers. I have a custom made SSL Compressor that does wonders to glue my mixes and 4 Pultec Clones, no plug-ins can even come close for this task. I really know how to use my plugins and how to get the best of them. I use a combination of analog and digital processors.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I get inspired by many producers and engineers, but mostly it's Axwell, deadmau5, Luca Pretolesi and Calvin Harris
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I get asked constantly to Mix and Master songs for fellow artists. I love doing this so I decided to join SoundBetter just to do it more.
