Crafted Sound, Pure Music

Garibay Music Studio helps artists and producers in Modesto, Stockton and across the Central Valley (and anywhere online) get radio-ready sound: clean mixes, competitive masters, and precise audio tuning.

This is for you if…

  • You're an independent artist and want your song to sound professional.
  • You produce in your home studio and want a second set of ears and an outside mix.
  • You're in a band or you're a singer-songwriter and want more clarity and punch in your recordings.
  • You record live or stream from a church and want a cleaner sound.
What I Do

Services

From a single stereo mix to a full album master, I give every project the same close attention to detail.

Mixing

Balancing levels, EQ, compression, and spatial placement to turn your raw stems into a cohesive, professional mix.

Mastering

Final polish and loudness optimization so your track translates cleanly across all audio systems.

Stem Mastering

Mastering applied to grouped stems (drums, bass, guitars, vocals) for finer control than a single stereo master allows.

Audio Tuning

Pitch correction and vocal/instrument tuning that stays natural, with precision and no robotic artifacts.

Audio Restoration

Noise reduction, click/hum removal, and cleanup for old recordings, podcasts, or damaged audio files.

Mix + Master Bundle

Send your raw tracks or stems and get back a fully mixed and mastered, release-ready track in one convenient bundle.

Send me 30 seconds of your track

I'll listen and tell you what it needs: what's masking what, where the vocal gets lost, and what could be improved. No cost, no strings attached.

Upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox, make a link anyone can open, and paste it here. 30 seconds is plenty, I don't need the full song.

I'll get back to you with what I heard within a work day, not a week.

Francisco Garibay, mixing and mastering engineer in Modesto and Stockton, CA

Meet the engineer

You bring the song; I make it sound the way you imagined it. I'm Francisco Garibay, a mixing and mastering engineer based in the Modesto / Stockton area of California's Central Valley, working with artists across Rock, Pop, Country, Latin, and CCM. I work with local artists from Turlock and Manteca to Tracy and Lodi, and with artists anywhere online.

My approach to mixing is musical, not static: a mix should always be breathing. I work ITB in Logic and Pro Tools, using UAD, SSL, Soundtoys, FabFilter, Waves, and more, and I include light vocal and instrumental tuning on every mix (heavier tuning and cleanup are priced separately). I'm bilingual (English/Spanish) and stay in close contact with the artist at every step, so the final mix matches the vision in your head.

Questions

FAQ

What file formats do you need from me?

Uncompressed WAV stems (24-bit, session sample rate) work best. For mastering-only, a stereo WAV bounce with a few dB of headroom.

How many revisions are included?

Mastering and Premium mixing packages include 3 revision rounds; Basic and Standard mixing packages include 2.

What's the turnaround time?

Mixing is delivered in about 7 days and mastering in 5–7 business days. EPs, albums and dense sessions get a dedicated timeline.

Where are you located, and do you work with artists outside the area?

I'm based in the Modesto / Stockton area of California's Central Valley and work with local artists from Turlock to Lodi. Everything is handled online, so artists anywhere can send stems and get finished mixes back.

Do you offer stem mastering?

Yes, mastering applied to grouped stems (drums, bass, vocals, music bed) for more control than a standard stereo master.

How do I pay?

Payment is due in full before I begin work. I send invoices through Square, and you can pay by card or bank transfer (ACH).

Do I need to come to the studio?

Nope. Everything happens online: you send me your files, I work on your mix from my studio, and I send the final files back by link.

How does online mixing work?

You send me your tracks (stems) and a reference song. I mix them and you listen to a first version. If something doesn't feel right, tell me what to change and I'll adjust it in the revision rounds included.

What's the difference between mixing and mastering?

Mixing brings all your tracks (vocals, instruments, drums) together and balances them so they sound good as one. Mastering is the final polish: it sets the loudness and tone so your song sounds right everywhere and on every platform. It usually happens in that order.
