About

Hey there! My name is Nicholas Silva-Ortega, but I go by Nick casually!

I’m an Audio Engineer living in the greater Sacramento area. I studied at Sacramento City College’s Commercial Music; Audio Production program! I primarily use Reaper as my digital audio workstation of choice, however my classes in college granted me the opportunity to work with Pro Tools for recording, mixing and mastering.

As a freelance audio engineer, I promise to bring my 110% to any project or body of work thrown my way all while cultivating a great, creative environment to make the best music possible.
