This isn’t just a want; it’s a need. Since we are producing more music now in Dolby Atmos, I have to be able to hear the binaural version properly from anywhere.

These are absolutely perfect for the job!

In addition, I am going to enjoy this season with these sweet headphones! I am !

Love to you all! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🙏🏽 What an incredible night last night! Los Nadies’ professionalism, energy, warmth, and charisma truly lit up La Peña Cultural Center.

🎼 It was one of the best shows Oscar and I have ever seen at La Peña. I thought we might be biased, but the audience confirmed our sentiment. Throughout the entire show, we heard so many glowing comments praising the performance: The music, the sound, and the energy in the room.

🎆 It was a resounding success, and a much needed offering of love, resilience, and hope for a better world.

💡Work with a great producer as soon as possible. A producer can help you develop your vision from the beginning of the project.

💡Rehearse until tight. Know your arrangements, lyrics, song structure, and tempos before you enter the studio.

💡Record to a click track. This helps you stay in time and it’s ideal for the editing process.

💡Block sessions (half-day or full-day rates). It’s often cheaper blocking the entire day than booking just a couple of hours.

💡Book sessions wisely. For example, base tracks first, then overdubs, and then vocals.

💡Be on time. The clock usually starts at the mutually agreed starting time.

💡Don’t try to do everything in one day. Creative focus starts to drop after 6 hours. Recommendation:
✅ 6 to 8 hours max per day
🚫 Avoid going beyond 10 hours

💡Communicate clearly with other musicians, producers, engineers or staff who will be in the studio. Make sure everyone knows their role and set expectations ahead of time.

💡Limit the amount of people in the studio. It’s tempting to bring friends, collaborators, or family, but too many voices can slow decision-making and create distractions.

💡Don’t forget to take breaks while in the studio. Use the breaks to step outside, hydrate, and stretch.

⭐️If you have other great tips for the recording sessions, please share them in the comments.

Una gran pérdida para el mundo de la música. Podríamos escribir un mundo de este día en que nos encontramos en Madrid, pero la tristeza no lo permite. Edesio Alejandro, siempre te tendremos en nuestros corazones! Descansa en paz!

A big loss for the music world. I could write so much about this day when we saw him in Madrid, but we are too sad to even write about it. Edesio Alejandro, you will always be in our hearts! Rest in peace!

One of the highlights of our trip was seeing Alexander Hjorth Lerche at the children’s artists mixer and celebration. We met Alexander at the when he was literally a baby (he was in a stroller). Now he is a grown up nine-year old delightful, polite, and talented kid. Alexander plays the piano and the recorder: Definitely taking after his talented parents. It’s an honor seeing him grow throughout these years. Kudos to these beautiful human beings! (Posting with Anita’s permission) Thank you for the picture! Much love from Oscar and me! ❤️❤️❤️
