  • Oliver Luna (Singer-Songwriter)

    Ricardo is a true master at what he does. His ability to make your idea come alive is off the charts. The communication is phenomenal as he quickly understands the vision and creates from your point of view. I’ve worked on several projects with him, all different styles, and still manages to stay true to the identity of the artist. Don’t get me started on his guitar skills. He makes this process so much fun. 100% would recommend!!

  • Pablo Prieto (Drummer of "Space Corolla")

    Ricardo Basora has the tricks and skills to make any recording pop and sound amazing. He’s great at balancing every track which results in a crystal clear mix and master, where you can appreciate every detail. He’s a great guy to work with and will make it worth your while.

  • Alain Perez (Lyricist)

    Working with Ricardo Basora has been a wonderful experience. Seeing my song getting built up from beginning to end was a work of genius. His music production gave life to my vision. I recommend his services if you want your musical projects to become your work of art.

  • May Fuentes (Solo Artist)

    Ricardo Basora is extremely talented, professional and responsible. After looking several options, I’ve been working in his studio for almost a year now. He was able to put my vision into the most incredible songs. Substancia Studios helped me to grow as an Artist, providing me the tools and products I needed for my musical project. Thank you so much and looking forward to continue working with this team in the future.
