Our legendary sound artists
Recording Mixer Chris Cirino
Chris moved to California from Ohio in 1987 to work in the film industry, but after two years of working as a production assistant and waiting tables, he shifted gears and focused on audio recording. So Chris moved across country yet again, but this time to dive into the world of audio at Full Sail University. He soon returned to LA and landed an internship with Margarita Mix, where he was hired as an assistant engineer in 1990. His many audio recording credits range from popular titles such as The Bad Batch and Star Trek Lower Decks to critically acclaimed shows like Beef, Phineas and Ferb, Palm Royale, and The Summer I Turned Pretty. Outside of work, Chris’s hobbies include paying a mortgage, repairing his 50-year-old house (usually with copious amounts of Gorilla Glue and duct tape), developing his taste for whiskey, and playing guitar and bass with friends.
Recording Mixer Bobby Garza
Bobby started his career at a ADR recording studio called Sound Recorders, then freelanced for various studios until 2022, when he became a staff engineer at LA Studios. His many many credits include features such as TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and Tangles and shows such as Gravity Falls, Common Side Effects, What We Do In The Shadows, and Big Mouth and what he enjoys most about working in audio is getting to hang out with funny and talented people every day. (That, and the wild diversity of projects that come through the door.) In his free time, Bobby enjoys anything his niece and nephew are into, which right now happens to be two of Bobby’s favorite things: sports and music. He likes scary movies and eating out and enjoying the occasional cocktail. BTW: if you know of a place with a great Tamarindo Margarita, let Bobby know!
Recording Mixer Kevin Hart
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Kevin has been in and around the audio world since 2004. After graduating at the top of his class at the Los Angeles Recording School in 2014, he decided to make post-production his full-time profession. Since then, he’s recorded for films and shows like Bad Education, Bob’s Burgers, King of the Hill, The Simpsons, Lower Decks, and a variety of shows for Netflix and animated Star Wars series for LucasFilm. He has fun when he’s working but his first priority is making the recording session as creative and as comfortable as possible for everyone. When not working, he enjoys playing bass guitar for musicals and with friends, and shooting landscape photos with his camera and drone.
Recording Mixer James Moore
Hailing from Henrietta, Texas (population 2,896), James is a rerecording mixer and a BBQ contest competitor, and he absolutely shreds on guitar. Also worth mentioning: he’ll travel to the ends of the Earth to ensure his audio clients are happy. Just a few of his recent projects include Rick and Morty, I Think You Should Leave, and Krapopolis on Fox. James got his start in sound finishing at audio post facility SonicPool where he rose through the ranks before jumping onto the big stage at Margarita Mix. He’s an Army veteran who served two tours in Iraq, a Clio Award winner, and a Motion Picture Sound Editors award nominee, and, true story: Chuck Norris once asked him for his autograph. James cherishes his family life and is a devoted husband and proud father of two boys.
Recording Mixer Konrad Pińon
Born and raised in Southern California, Konrad spent his days shredding on his skateboard, watching TV, shooting hoops, listening to comedy albums, blowing stuff up to hear how it sounds, playing football, going to school, listening to music (lots of music) and traveling the globe. Eventually, all of these interests led him into the world of audio post-production where he has been fortunate enough to experience the transition from analog to digital technology. During this time, Konrad’s finished the sound on projects ranging from nationally syndicated live radio shows such as Rockline to mixing wildly creative shows such as Robot Chicken. Today, Konrad can either be found banging away in his sound mixing suite, hanging out with his family, cycling with his buddies, judging debates, refereeing soccer matches, and still blowing stuff up… except now it’s for TV.
Sound Finishing Artist Wouter van Herwerden
Wouter is an award-winning sound finishing artist and engineer who got his start recording live performances of orchestras and outdoor concerts such as Glastonbury and Reggae Sunsplash and performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company. In London, Wouter’s career had him wearing many hats—from designing and building audio post facilities to research and development to setting up entire new sound finishing workflows. An industry veteran and member of the Margarita Mix team since 1999, Wouter is a go-to sound mixer and recording engineer for celebrity talent and production companies such as Netflix, Paramount, Illumination. He specializes in everything from voiceover to animated feature recording and ADR recording.

The quality of audio work was top-tier and stood out amongst their peers, but it was the personalized and thoughtful details that came with being in the studio that truly made the experience exceptional. It was a real joy going to work there — I will miss it!
“ As a long time client I cannot speak more highly about their professionalism and talent. I have completed a variety of projects at the facility over many years and the whole team is a pleasure to work with on every front. Projects always have hurdles when getting to the finish line and the team is always able to find solutions which is extremely important in this industry. Their facilities and people are welcoming so I never worry about taking clients and/or network executives to sessions. They are my first call when I start a new project and will continue to be.
