01 / About

Sound that commands the room.

I'm Claudio Rodriguez — a mixing engineer and music producer working out of my own studio in Switzerland.

I've dedicated myself to one thing: making metal records sound massive without losing their soul. From the first DI track to the final master, I'm hands-on through every step — meticulous when it counts, fast when it matters.

Whether you're a band tracking your first EP or an established act preparing your next full-length, you get the same commitment: precision, taste, and a sound that translates everywhere.

Behind every commanding mix is a chair, a desk, and somebody who cares.

What I do.

/ 01
Mixing
& Recording
Big, powerful, dynamic. Mixes engineered for streaming and stage. Tracking sessions in a treated, gear-rich live room — or remote stems from anywhere in the world.
/ 02
Reamping
Send your DI tracks. They come back through a hand-picked rack of premium tube amps, cabs and ribbon mics in a real studio. The tone you wanted, without the gear bill.
/ 03
Music
Production
From a riff on your phone to a finished, mastered record. Arrangement, sound design, programming, performance coaching — full creative collaboration when you want a partner, not just an engineer.
03 / The Tools

The chain behind the sound.

A hybrid studio built around conversion, monitoring and a focused analog chain. Every piece is here for a reason: commitment, tone, speed and translation.

Recording, reamping, production and mixing stay connected in one room — from the first DI to the final print.
