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

  10. A: Take care of your ears: listen at low volume and take breaks every hour to regain focus.

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

  12. A: All types of music but I specialize in genres such as electronic music and its derivatives.

  13. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  14. A: I love music and what it evokes in me. I love crying while listening to electronic music and dancing to it. I enjoy round and punchy kicks, acidic basses, emotional melodies, and crackling highs, and I strive to achieve that in every mix or sound I immerse myself in. I have an excellent ear for detecting inconsistencies in a mix.

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

  16. A: As a producer, I have been mixing electronic music for over 20 years, focusing on EQ corrections, compression, and mastering. I love mixing House Music, which allows me to explore various styles, deepen my understanding of the technical aspects of this beautiful craft, and collaborate with others. I hope I can be of help to you with whatever you need!

  17. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  18. A: Right now, I'm mixing a track for a video game, arranging voices and music for an NLP application, recording, mixing, and mastering an audiobook, recording and arranging voices for podcasts and voice-over videos for a political communication campaign, and working on my own electronic music compositions.

  19. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  20. A: The best of both worlds. I record, mix, EQ, and compress in analog, and do digital corrections. I master in both. I aim to get the best emulations of analog equipment and unite the two worlds.

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

  22. A: My pc (complete), sound card, genelec´s, Live. I have one slot left over. Ok, Novation Impulse...

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

  24. A: Sasha. He is very original in his productions.

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

  26. A: My contribution will be to make every piece feel like a unique work of art, evoking a deep sigh and strong emotion from the listener. Otherwise, my work is NOT FINISHED!

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

  28. A: As a producer: I have several projects started all the time, which allows me to dabble in all of them and never get bored, while always keeping myself inspiring and moving... the tracks take shape as the days go by, and They finish it themselves... this also allows me to cover all stages of production: from creation, through mixing, eq and compression, balancing, to final stages like mixes and mastering according to the destination of the track.

  29. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  30. A: I use an Apollo Twin with Genelecs and Ableton Live as my main DAW. My setup also includes Native Instruments, Plugin Alliance, FLUX: Pure Analyzer System, and reFX.
