Without music, what good would your ears be?

About Me

Patrick Olguin:I've engineered many RIAA certified Gold, Platinum and multi-platinum award winning records, as well as work on the Grammy award winning Black Eyed Peas release "Elephunk". Artists that I've worked for include, but are not limited to Papa Roach, E-40, Keak da Sneak, Wyclef Jean, Cake, Black Eyed Peas as well as many others.Currently, I am working as a freelance engineer, and am available to travel and work in other studios.Recently, I've been concentrating on my work as a mixing engineer. Being that files in the Pro-Tools format have become extremely portable (and mailable), I have been recieving mix requests from all over the world. It's as simple as mailing a DVD with Pro-Tools files, and recieving completed mixes back via e-mail. If you would like to have your project (or just a couple of songs on your project) mixed by me, I can be reached by e-mail at:[email protected] an interview with Pat in Electronic Musician...http://emusician.com/mag/emusic_home_cooking_cake /index4.html
