That was it, Music Production and audio engineering was THE thing.
He decided to turn his passion into a career by getting his degree in audiovisual techniques in France in early 1990’s. Audio education wasn’t available in his country at that time. The 90’s were a beautiful time to learn and get involved into audio: the last analog days and the first digital/tape days, prior to DAW based studio. he could witness on his own the change of paradigm.
After getting back to Uruguay, he worked as staff engineer in several studios, getting involved in music, theater and film productions, as well as live sound mixing and live recording. After getting confidence, he started freelancing, as well as consulting and teaching.
He got to collaborate in productions with all major local and regional artists, as well as international performers like The Mission, Placido Domingo, José Carreras, Kitaro and Luciano Supervielle, among others.
He has more than 17 years teaching experience. ORT university gave him the teaching excellence award in 2010. He teaches now in the public uruguayan university, and is regularly called to lecture in audio technology events and private schools.
