TrueSound, in music, is a balance between

TrueSound is a process that unleashes every project’s purest creative essence. In part calling for disciplined solutions, true-audio engineering, analog and digital technologies or even coaching, TrueSound is a methodology for a free, powerful aesthetic that goes beyond just production; that sees me guiding artists to higher ground.

As a producer, mixer and audio engineer, my obsession is revealing unique musical and sound essences that exist in all artists and their work. For 30 years it’s meant partnering with great talent to develop a custom production process on each project. A lot of the fun comes from the wide array of new and vintage ‘hot-rodded’ audio components that I’ve collected throughout my career, to produce an even wider sound palette. My mix of experience and rare technological knowledge seamlessly enhances the musical vision underlying all we do. After all my time in the business, I deeply believe you’ve got to look for TrueSound in every single piece of music you produce, no excuses.

With every different collaborator, I’m looking to nurture a creative spirit all projects have at their core. I believe every endeavor requires unique approaches and I put clients and their needs at the center of each process, from day-1, whether it’s recording, mixing, performance or something beyond. The studio ethos safeguards musical integrity and sound-fidelity in every creative phase; a combination of tech resources and deep musical feeling empowers TrueSound on each project.

Producer

When I work as a producer, I offer advice, guidance and support throughout the creative process. Every musical style or project calls for specific solutions that range from the music itself and what technologies are needed, to smart financial considerations that attract talent, skills and experience. I love putting together exceptional teams with participants who share my vision and move with me to uncover and strengthen TrueSound values.

Recording

Every project recorded calls for a unique approach. The best, most perceptive audio engineers mix experience, know-how and a sense of musical taste that steer and ultimately lay out a sound-path. My commitment to audio quality led me to assemble a vast collection of components that range from select vintage analog elements to the very latest digital recording tools. They all play a role as artists, clients and I work to capture unparalleled sound and prepare for an extraordinary mix. The excitement of recording sessions is palpable and everyone loves the momentum.

Mixing

Subsequent mixing is a fascinating artistic process where music’s sound-essence becomes a reality. At the creative level, my hybrid approach—combining both digital and analog audio tools—lets us seize the music’s spirit at a superior, more imaginative level that stands out, whether it’s played on a sound-system of the highest imaginable fidelity or just on your cell-phone. During the mix, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues and clients to find continuity between formats and preserve the project’s fidelity and sound character on both streaming and physical media (CD, vinyl, cassettes), etc. It’s a process where I take both artists and their repertoires to the next level, always by foregrounding the TrueSound that lies within their work.

Consulting

Decades of professional experience in music production and audio engineering have afforded me wide-ranging know-how in a variety of music-production areas. Old friends and strangers alike call on me for consultations and assessments that can include anything from project logistics to selecting, installing and modifying equipment for recording and mixing in studios of any size. Project leaders ask me to weigh in when it comes to acoustics for different environments like restaurants, home cinemas or any space searching for tighter sound control.

Brand Partnerships

Fruitful years collaborating as an expert on dozens of music, film and TV projects have led to a unique perspective that makes me a skilled partner and ally for brands as well as private clients who are after the most impeccable sound. Fidelity standards that characterize my work speak volumes about a penchant for high-quality audio. In partnership with brand teams, the goal is always to reach an enhanced vision, a better perspective on the product or service offered. Maybe most important, TrueSound gives rise to consumers’ emotion-based brand connections.

My clients love what happens at the studio—great creativity, awesome sound fidelity and always, unique moments—at Watersound. Here, I’ve put together a professional analog studio specializing in album, film and TV music recording. Notably, it’s home to my renowned collection of unique vintage analog equipment, painstakingly restored and optimized. In the course of the last twenty years, these beloved and extraordinary technologies have lent quality and high fidelity to projects we produced at the studio, leading to high-volume record-sales and a host of Latin Grammys. As we collaborate, each artist senses an extraordinary creative space within the studio that inspires each particular project supported by my experience as a producer, engineer and mixer.
