i capture the sound of today
The recording arts have been a long time passion. I had been recording at home at a very young age. It Began by playing keys/ piano/ organ in church at the age of 9. Piano classes at the age of 10 from a Hondurian Musician well known for his Salsa/ Merengue and other genres of music. Then joining the Choir band and School band in High School. After school, I joined a couple of bands in the L.A. area. While Recording artist's albums as-well as our own. After playing keys for years, I learned how to play guitar. Further expanding my music skills and career. Recording, producing, arranging, editing, and mixing songs or albums is my forte!

Mixing is the process in which we take all of the elements; the kick, the snare, hats, toms, bass, guitars, harmonica, glockenspiel, chickens, vocals... whatever, and balance them perfectly to give you the professional sound that you need to compete.
We use mastering to do many things, but the first thing you'll notice is that your songs are LOUDER, CLEARER, WIDER, and HIT HARDER. In short, your music will have just taken a giant step toward being RADIO READY.
A producer has many roles that may include, but are not limited to, gathering ideas for the project, selecting songs or session musicians, proposing changes to the song arrangements, coaching the artist and musicians in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire process through audio

Graduate Uriel Soto—who now works as a staff engineer at his former mentor’s studio—has an interesting analogy to describe the process of recording and producing music.
“Making music, especially recording, is kind of like when you build a cake,”
he says. “When you make a cake, you mix the ingredients together, which is kind of like when you sit down and you pre-produce some music, or you pre-produce a song. And it just takes very different phases for you to actually record a song…and then you produce it. Many times you don’t have the lyrics there, so you have to sit down and actually record the lyrics. After you’ve done recording, you go into editing. After you edit, you go into mixing. After mixing, you go to mastering, which is the final stage, or if you think of a cake, it would be the frosting on the cake. That’s what you present to the people.
That’s what gets released….When you’re in the studio, it’s kind of thinking like that. There’s many layers, many different things that you go through to actually make a song or a record.”
