Victor Valena - Music Producer and Mix Engineer
I spend most of my time behind a customer hybrid music studio that I built. The studio is compiled with modern digital software and vintage outboard equipment collected over a period of years. I produce, write, record, and mix music for a variety of musical artist. Along with scoring and placing my own compositions for national and international commercial placements. As a performer, I have opened up for acts such as Bush, Train and Fishbone to name a few. As an audio consultant and production manager, I have been hired by Netflix, The Obama Administration, Jamie Foxx-No Brainer Films, The Schwarzenegger Administration, The NBA and have currently been traveling the world and on tour with Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias for the last five years.
Decades of band work playing guitar, drums as well as vocals allows me to bring a unique perspective to any projects.
A major factor that separates me from a lot of digital-only studios is my unprecedented collection of vintage out-board equipment.
I understand the process and production needed for multiple mediums. From animation to national commercials for companies like Smirnoff Ice, I got you.
I use a multitude of equipment, both digital and analog. But, using vintage out-board equipment is where my heart and soul is at. Here are just a few that grace my studio currently.
