About me

Audio Engineer

Even in the womb, Cuban-born sound engineer Julio Darnas was thinking. "What's with the sound in here? There's got to be a way to improve the audio quality in here". Starting as early as age 6, Julio managed to get a hold of his parent's reel to reel tape recorder. His insatiable curiosity (let's refer to it as "audio-osity") prompted him to meticulously take apart the tape recorder to discover precisely how the audio was recorded into the machine. After destroying countless tape recorders and yes, he continued to take them apart, Julio's parents eventually caught on and kept the machines out of his sight. But by this time it was too late. His passion for the perfect sound was unstoppable.

As time moved on, Julio Darnas Jr. became an accomplished musician and gained much of his experience while working and touring with other talented musicians and bands. Naturally, Julio started recording all this music onto his tape recorders. After years of touring and being on the road, Julio started working professionally as an audio engineer, recording, mixing and running post production sound for numerous artists.

Julio's recordings caught the attention of Cambodian Producer Thoeung Son of Chlangden Production who hired Julio to expand his record company. With Julio at the helm, the company flourished with Julio personally producing and mixing hundreds of cds and videos. Julio also became adept at shooting and editing video. This echoed a new milestone for Julio. It inspired his new passion for mastering all aspects of audio for video.

Julio has been providing outstanding audio services for numerous TV network and independent video productions, including TV talk shows such as The John Kerwin Show. He has produced music for Sony as the music producer on Kathy Smith's workout videos.

Being bilingual (Spanish and English), Julio also enjoys working in Spanish and/or Spanglish productions. Julio has come a long way since taking apart tape recorders. His passion for sound, his "audio-osity", and commitment to excellence in audio engineering has continued to be an inspiration to his work and his clients.
