In the world of music, name dropping is an art form. Lauryn Hill,
Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans – working with anyone of these names alone
can establish a career. Combine them however, and then add names like
Ice-T, Savage Garden, Tru-Life, SpankRock and Macy Gray, and you begin
to realize that a person who can drop these names has a truly remarkable talent.Don't be fooled by his humble appearance, mixing engineer Hernán
Santiago is recognized industry wide for his "dog ears". Where was
that click? Is there a way to fix that? He knows. Things the average
A&R ear will miss, Hernán will pick up, point out, and correct.The latest release to be blessed with his mixing ability is the
independent critically acclaimed album Yoyoyoyoyo by Spank Rock.
A-List artist Thom Yorke of Radiohead even called it one of his "fav
records from last year"!A Bronx native, Hernán got his start at(PLATINUM) Island Studios in Manhattan in
the mid-nineties and through the years gradually worked his way up from intern to
recording and mixing engineer. His reputation for excellence being
built throughout the years, industry heavies seek him out for their
recording sessions knowing that he will deliver. And while other
engineers have a black book with phone numbers, Hernan's black book is
filled with the secrets of how to bring to life the sound the artist
is imagining in their mind.---ErikaNitz Plain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
