Multitrack editing is something I have become accustomed to. It requires a keen eye for detail to ensure that nothing is missed while cutting or pasting, but it ultimately enhances the quality of my final result!

I spend some of my afternoons mastering tracks for other musicians, including those who live abroad or outside of Berlin where I am based. If you have recorded audio with your portable recorder or have a finished mix that needs mastering, I offer remote mastering services and fixing problems. If I can't improve it, you don't pay - that's my policy. You can find more information on my website: www.recordingonthego.com

A flashback to 2020 with the great tenor René Barbera singing "A mes amies" during the pandemic days. It was an absolutely killer aria, and he did it in one take. René is an absolute beast of a singer, which is why he sings everywhere.

Our little shop keeps growing with great artists who come back to use our services. As a tenor myself, I was overjoyed when René asked me to record this session for him. I had the audacity to ask him if he could sing it again...

He asked me, "pero por qué?" Thankfully, we are good friends and I just said, "ok, ok, ok."

And that was it. Only one take... Pure perfection. Enjoy this look back at a time when music was "una cosa prohibita."

Are you an opera singer looking for high-quality demo recordings without breaking the bank? We have an innovative solution for you!

Introducing ‘One Take To Go’
A Dynamic Audition-Style Recording Session for Opera Singers

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Javier Bernardo. I initially studied sound engineering and later transitioned to pursue a career in opera. I received my training in sound engineering in Lima, Peru, and went on to earn a Master of Music from the Juilliard School and a Bachelor's degree from PBA University in West Palm Beach. Throughout my career, I have lived and worked in several major opera houses in big cities such us New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, and Berlin, recording talented artists across various classical genres. Many of these artists have now become prominent names in the classical music industry.

One Take To Go, Our performance-style recording session, would offer a more dynamic and efficient approach to creating demo opera aria materials, allowing you to share the session with other talented singers.

As a mobile recording service provider, I've often been frustrated by the limitations of rented spaces, such as poor piano quality, lighting, and unattractive backgrounds for video recordings. Uninspiring spaces or bad acoustics hinder even the most expensive equipment setup. I've often wondered if there could be a better, more enjoyable way of doing things that benefits musicians, studios, and sound engineers alike. That's when the idea for One Take To Go was born.

By bringing together a group of singers per hour, we can offer high-quality recordings at a very low rate. This streamlined approach lets me focus on you and your material, delivering your recordings in the next two days.

To stay updated on upcoming events and studio locations, follow our Facebook and Instagram pages if you haven’t already done so. It helps spread the word. Thank you to those who have trusted me with their recording sessions in the past. This new method allows me to invest more time in perfecting the setup.
