About Us
Colada Mix was formed in Los Angeles, CA in June 2000, when Roland Alvarez and Liz Magro partnered up to provide audio post production services. We have since moved to Coconut Grove, FL, in the heart of Miami, where we hope to help expand the entertainment industry. Our services include audio editing, sweetening, mastering and mixing using Sonic Studio HD. Our work ethic comes from having worked at some of the best recording studios in the world and with some of the most discriminating clients.
Roland brings his expertise in recording, mastering, and audio post to Colada Mix. He is a Miami native who attended the Atlanta College of Art, moved to Los Angeles intending to continue his art studies, and instead fell into the recording world. He started an apprenticeship at Milagro Recording in Glendale, CA and moved on to A&M, where he started mastering and editing. He continued to hone his skills at The Complex where he was awarded a gold record for Neil Young's "Sleeps with Angels" album. He has engineered for many artists, including Marcus Miller, Better Than Ezra, Stephen Stills, and Moby. In 1996, deciding to pursue post production, he became a music editor at Saban Entertainment on animated TV series' including "The Incredible Hulk" , "Princess Sissi" and "The Mouse and The Monster". In 1997, he was stolen from Saban by VDI Multimedia where he learned the ins and outs of audio post and worked on movie trailers, TV spots, and sound restoration for clients including Disney, MGM, and Universal.
