Hi, I’m Hector Gundlach—an audio engineer, music producer, and sound designer based in New Jersey. I bring over 15 years of experience recording, mixing, mastering, and producing across genres, with a focus on studio production, vocal engineering, and digital audio workflows. I’m passionate about translating emotion into sound and collaborating closely with artists to capture their vibe. I’ve engineered university ensembles and independent projects, produced full-length records with beat production and vocal comping, designed custom sonic palettes, and delivered remote mixing and mastering with fast turnaround and clear revision processes. I also edit and mix podcasts for broadcast-ready quality and enjoy refining sound down to the last detail to support storytelling.
