MozartMuzik Installs PMC6-2 Monitors

Latin Grammy nominated producer and engineer José Luis Nisco Chaparro, who goes by the professional name of MozartMuzik, has installed a pair of PMC6-2 monitors in his new studio in Buenos Aires and is delighted with the sound he is achieving.

PMC monitors were recommended by MozartMuzik's friend Teezio, a Grammy-winning mix engineer who has them in his own studio in Los Angeles.

"I was searching for a detailed, high-end monitor that could accurately representing the top of the frequency spectrum for vocals, and could also deliver a defined transient response," MozartMuzik explained. "On Teezio's recommendation, I contacted PMC's Argentinian distributor, Planeta Analogico, and they gave me the space to listen to the monitors and use them on some work of my own so that I could clearly decide if they were what I wanted. Since installing them in my own studio in June, the monitors have been performing well and the sound is from another planet. It sounds so good that artists who work with me are now coming to the studio to check their own mixes and masters."

Originally from Argentina and now permanently based in Buenos Aires, MozartMuzik began creating music in his mother’s basement when he was still a teenager. At that time no Argentinian artists were making Urban Music such as Trap, Hip-Hop or Reggaeton, so MozartMuzik moved to Miami and began working with artists such as Bryant Myers, Eladio Carrion, Anuel AA, Jhay Cortez, Nicky Jam, Sech, J Quiles and Arcangel.

Eventually freestyle rap took off in Argentina and MozartMuzik returned to his home country to work with artists such as Cazzu, Bhavi, Duki and Seven Kayne who are now big-name acts.

Alongside his studio work, MozartMuzik also toured with a number of bands as their playback and autotune engineer. He won his Latin Grammy in 2020 for Sech's album 1on1, which also saw him nominated for a Premios Lo Nuestro award. Other accolades followed, including RIAA Diamond, Platinum and Gold awards for various singles and albums. His record company customers now include Sony Music, Warner Music, Universal Music Latin and various independent labels such as Dale Play Records.

MozartMuzik's new studio, the GÜD Art Factory, is a commercial facility that was designed with help from Javier Fracchia, one of Argentina’s most prominent studio designers and mastering engineers.

"The studio is used for recording, mixing and mastering and is equipped with PMC6-2 main monitors and a UAD Apollo x6 + UAD Satellite OCTO DSP system as the main interface," he said. "For vocals, I have a Manley Reference Cardioid microphone with a Neve 1073SPX Preamp and an Empirical Labs EL8X Distressor Compressor. I also have various other pieces of equipment including a few synths like Prophet 6, Prophet X and Moog Matriarch."

The combination of PMC monitors and an acoustically accurate room has solved many of the frequency and phase issues MozartMuzik was having with his previous rooms. He adds that he is delighted with the support he received from Planeta Analogico, not only in sourcing the right monitors for his space but also for helping him achieve the sound he wanted.
