Rafael Berlanga on SoundBetter

I’m a producer, recording and mixing engineer, based in London.

I started my career in the music industry as a guitar player in my hometown Havana, Cuba. There, I had the opportunity to perform and collaborate with talented artists and bands. I always had a passion for technology and electronics, which naturally took me to explore a career path as a recording and mixing engineer.

Since I moved to London in 2018, I have been mostly involved in producing music with the latin community based in this city. I always try to bring to the table the musical flavours of Havana, and the ingredients that defined the sound of the most acclaimed bands of the last decades: Buena Vista Social Club, Afrocuban All Stars, Habana Abierta, and many others.

    I have known and worked with Rafael Berlnger since 2018. Both as a recording and mixing engineer, Berlanga is an exemplar of talent and professionalism. As a producer, he has helped me actualise the potential of songs that I’ve written as his musical and technical insights are equally matched with his approachability and intellect. Working with Rafael always led to positive results and I highly recommend working with him.

    Rafael is an incredible mix engineer. His musicality and attention to detail always results in an amazing sounding mix. The process was engaging and fun!

    I trusted him fully with the mix for my song May You Reign. He took something that had frequency and phasing issues and made it sound polished without losing any character. The bass is full and clear, and vocals sit perfectly on top surrounded by the beautiful synths. I was extremely happy with his mix.

    I would highly recommended Rafael for his professionalism and friendly personality. He is easy to work with and a master of his craft.

    Raf is as focussed and professional as they come. An absolute perfectionist. The mix was beautifully balanced and he fully understood the artist’s needs. I will always get tracks mixed by Raf because I want the best for my colleagues.

    Thanks again for doing a stellar job mate - always a pleasure working with you.
