About Ray Valentin(e)
24 years old with 12 years of experience. Taught myself guitar at age 12, and got my first mixer that Christmas (Behringer Xenyx model) to record myself and friends. Fast forward to high school, I began learning formal music theory (and realized I had near perfect pitch) and completed entire school curriculum on music theory, and then some, by only my junior year. I learned piano nearly instantly, as soon as I had the revelation that everything I had learned on guitar plus music theory meant I could translate everything to piano and it was just a matter of dexterity, which was no matter at all (I learned to play bass, banjo, trumpet, alto sax, and drums during this time and this way). Production and engineering came relatively easy as well (I am actually a computer major), to the point where I've begun building my own plugins, and near mastered frequency, dynamics, and sound as concepts. I've produced over 500 full length instrumentals to date, and mixed and mastered most of them.
