My priority is ensuring that artists feel completely confident on stage. When trust exists between the artist and the technical crew, everything flows naturally, allowing everyone to focus on what truly matters: creating a meaningful connection between the music and the audience.

Every production has unique requirements. That is why I can integrate into different stages of the production process, providing technical and creative solutions in the following areas:

  • FoH Engineering
  • RF Coordination
  • Playback Systems

I don’t believe in solutions tied to a specific brand. My goal is to achieve the best possible results by making the most of the available tools while adapting to the technical and artistic needs of each production.

I believe in thorough technical planning. Understanding a production’s requirements and evaluating the venue in advance helps minimize risks, anticipate challenges, and deliver a safe, reliable, and professional show.

Every performance deserves production that matches the quality of the music. Let’s work together to build a solid, dependable production that delivers an outstanding experience for both the artist and the audience.

playback

A well-designed playback system takes a live production to the next level by delivering precision, coordination, and consistency in every performance, while enhancing both the visual and musical impact of the show.

I have developed playback systems and programming for artists performing on some of the most demanding stages, including Quinta Vergara, the Huaso de Olmué Festival, and Lollapalooza. In productions of this scale, every element must operate with maximum reliability and perfect synchronization.

My work can integrat

  • Playback: Editing, mixing, organizing, and balancing audio tracks for playback sessions running on software-based or dedicated playback systems.
  • Live Vocal Tuning: Implementation of real-time vocal tuning systems, whether used as a creative effect or as transparent pitch correction during live performances.
  • Teleprompter: Programming lyrics and synchronized content in real time, providing artists with a clear and reliable on-stage reference throughout each song.
  • MIDI Automation: Programming automatic preset changes, sound banks, and equipment configurations for musicians and technicians, synchronized with the progression of each song.
  • Lighting & Video Synchronization: Coordination with lighting and/or video departments to achieve a seamless, precise, and visually impactful live production.
