I’m a busy voice guy whose home studio was in sudden meltdown. Needed someone with ample knowledge working with pro gear, pro tools and network broadcast quality work flow- and I needed them ASAP. Was matched with Castelo Prods and I got lucky, Isai turned out to be the real deal. He couldn’t have been more pleasant, knowledgeable and professional also able to quickly solve more than a few snags. Isai’s in my contacts now, couldn’t be happier. Aaron

First session with him went better than I hope for. We sat down and talked over what was my goal (sound I’m aiming towards) . He carefully listen to my questions and we put in the work. The quality is something important for me and he did not disappoint. Session went so well. Now I have established a consistent relationship.

I'm currently working with Isai on an album and far so good. He's got a good head on his shoulders and has a good ear for correcting mistakes along the way. Appreciate his time and look forward to continuing these recordings with him.

Isai was very professional, prompt and knew exactly what to do to handle our issue - setting up audio for a podcast. We had some equipment and he let us know what we needed so we were prepared before he came. I also do some audio on my own, and he was able to make some adjustments to make me sound better! Officially my new audio person!!

Isai was really patient and chill. I was nervous going in and confident coming out that tells you that Isai is all ears when it comes down to recording vocals and helping you fulfill your dreams or however you want to think of it. I recommend you scheduling time with him and see for yourself, all the reviews you read are true. That’s enough said! The quality of song was really good especially the finish product. Isai will definitely see me a lot more.
