Who you're working with
Where artistic vision meets sonic precision
G Wave Records is the studio practice of Joseph “Gelvs” Agualada — an audio engineer working in editing, mixing and mastering since 2016.
The work is technical, but the goal isn't. A mix is finished when the emotion in the performance survives the trip to the listener: the vocal sits where it should, the low end behaves in a car and on a laptop, and nothing sounds like it was fixed. That's what translation means, and it's the standard every project here is held to.
Every engagement is remote and client-centred. You send files, you hear a preview before you commit, and you get honest feedback on what the material needs — including when it needs less, not more.

Services & pricing
Transparent rates, no surprises
Every service starts with a free 30-second before/after preview. You hear the difference on your own track before any money changes hands.
How engagements work
- Free preview first. Nothing is owed until you've heard your own track improved.
- Deposit before work begins. Your slot is confirmed once the deposit lands.
- Final files are released on full payment. You'll hear drafts throughout, so nothing is a surprise.
- Revisions are included as listed per service. Structural changes — new stems, arrangement edits, added production — are quoted separately.
- Rush delivery is available depending on the schedule and carries an additional fee. Say your deadline up front.
- Large projects can be batched. EPs and albums run in agreed batches with payment per batch.

What they say after the session
“A must-go if you want to get a song produced, mixed, and mastered. He carefully understands the background and goals based on the client's previous releases and audio preferences. Very professional and deeply invested in the project's overall output — offers valuable suggestions while maintaining a friendly attitude, and regularly checks in with draft versions and comments to ensure the best possible mix. Highly recommended.”
“Experienced one of the best mastering services out there! Now I truly understand how a ‘piece’ becomes a MASTERpiece through mastering — and G Wave Records made that transformation possible.”
