Behind se7en beatlab
I’m Julián Morales, a producer, composer, arranger and audio engineer. I’ve spent more than two decades working with songs, records and original music for the screen. se7en beatlab brings that experience into music, software and practical tools for working with audio.
Music that is part of a story
My film work includes original music for La Pantalla Andina, directed by Carmina Balaguer, and music for Buscando a Yavi, directed by Patricio Artero, and the short film La 56. The credits appear in film catalogues and published production information under Julián Morales or Julián Luis Morales.
La Pantalla Andina was screened at Cine Gaumont and received film awards at Mendi Film Bilbao-Bizkaia, Cerdanya and Cine Las Americas in Austin. Those recognitions belong to the film and its team. My part in that work is its original music.
The whole record, not just one part
For years, Estudios HEM was the setting for my work in artistic production, recording, mixing and mastering. Moving between those roles gives you a particular perspective: a decision in an arrangement can solve something that would otherwise take hours to repair in the mix.
On Martín Chalup’s Una chispa de Verdad, released in 2012, I shared artistic production and mixing with Martín and handled recording engineering and mastering. The artist’s own album credits document those roles. It is one concrete example of the work that connects musical choices with the finished sound.
Sharing what makes the work easier
Alongside production, I have taken part in training for musicians on digital platforms and authors’ rights. In 2019, Jujuy’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced sessions with my participation on both subjects. That side of the work matters too: a recording needs a clear identity, credits and an organized path beyond the studio.
The same criteria, turned into tools
When I build a tool, I think about the moment in the session when it will be needed. Finding the right version without opening several projects. Comparing a change without louder automatically winning. Knowing what a measurement is telling you before touching another control.
The guides follow that same approach. A useful explanation should leave you with something you can try, something specific to listen for and a way to decide when the job is done. That is the connection between my music, the studio and se7en beatlab.
