Lalo the engineer was the best in our session… he hit every expectation and beyond.
Also the studio itself was a vibe and spacious
Definitely we will book soon again ERRE BABY

I've recorded a few of songs in the past at home studios via people I found on craigslist. It was a mixed bag. Overall, I was okay with the results - This was my first time going to a recording studio and it was a great experience. I researched the engineers on the Mix / Zoom website, read the reviews, and played their samples, I narrowed it down to 4 and wound up going with Lalo AKA TopBoy thinking he was the best fit based on genre of music and how he explained his working style - Great choice on my part! Previous positive reviews I read about him were right. Lalo was awesome, super friendly, letting me know off the bat he is there for me and if I want suggestions, he'll make them but if I don't that is fine too. By the end of the 4 hours we were like two buddies vibing off each other to work the song. (I was there to record vocals, mix & master to recorded music I came with) I'll be going back to Lalo for sure to finish the song and if session 2 goes as well then, I will come back with my next song... No more craigslist for recording for me. The studio communication is primary text/ email - they are fast and enthusiastic to respond.

Have been recording with Topboy going on 3years & he is the best I’ve worked with. I’ve gone to many different engineers & stopped looking once I worked with him. Nothing but great vibes w when working, consistently recommend him to ALL artist I come across. If he’s not in the studio I won’t record.

It usually takes around 2 hours for me to do a song but with Topboy, we knocked out 4 songs in 4 hours. He works very efficiently while ensuring great quality which is extremely rare.

TOPBOY is a great help in the studio and working with him is a vibe, highly recommend.

I showed up to the studio with my voice stifled and was about to call it a night, until a hot cup of tea and encouragement from one of the best in the game garnered one of the best sessions of my career.... Book with TOPBOY!!!!

I was a bit nervous because this was my first time going to a Studio. I did my research to what I was looking for and who I wanted to work with. I honestly made the right choice working with TOPBOY. He was patient, he listened to my ideas, he made sure I was happy with the work being done, and he is the type of person who has genuine work ethic and drive for his passion. A person like that is hard to find now and days. I have a more projects I would love to come back and work with him and collaborate with is creative mind and skill. Thank you Lalo "TopBoy"

MIX Recording Studio - Music Studio Los Angeles

Lalo was great! This was my first time in a recording studio, and I was pretty apprehensive about putting together a song/sharing my music with others. He went above and beyond to help bring the song together, answer any questions I had, and make the session as welcoming/non-judgemental as possible. Would definitely recommend.

One of the greatest engineers I’ve ever worked with. He has an amazing ear and made the recording process seamless. I’m so grateful | got the opportunity to work with him. Looking forward to working with him again. Truly a rising star!

My first time recording at a studio he was very accommodating and open to collaborations. He was instrumental to the track. I will definitely becoming back

Didn't know what to expect but I can honestly say that Lalo has so much talent with engineering, he helped me tweak my song into such a vibe and I love how he tells you when something doesn't sound good so that you can make it as perfect as possible, I was so nervous getting back into music but working with lalo took away the nervousness and motivated me even further to go farther, the project we worked on sounds like a masterpiece thanks to his skills!
