His clients include a who&#8217;s who of chart-topping hip hop and pop artists, like Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Drake, Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Tyga, Lil Wayne, B.o.B., and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Before all of that, though, Ariel had to develop the work ethic that would eventually earn him the subsequent credits he\u2019s achieved. Beginning in music school and taking him through running and assisting at Larrabee Studios, his can-do attitude and attentiveness progressed into the skills that have made him a modern hip hop asset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2TWfKUA\">Mixing HipHop with Ariel Chobaz Course<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, Ariel&#8217;s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is studded with A-list superstars, but his expert mixing is available to anyone via his e-mixing services. In addition to breaking records with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Ariel\u00a0has taken\u00a0online mixing to a new level of professionalism and attainability by offering\u00a0affordable services to everybody. He believes it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re an independent artist on the way up or topping the charts: everyone&#8217;s music deserves the best sonics possible!<\/p>\n<h5>Ariel Chobaz&#8217;s Early Career<\/h5>\n<p>Ariel went to music school, during which one of his instructors informed the class that only 1 in 10 students would actually go on to work in the music industry. He decided that moment that he was going to do whatever it takes to be that person! He knew that his hunger and desire to succeed was the driving force that would help him reach his goals, and he was the first in the class to receive an internship.<\/p>\n<p>He then landed a gig running and assisting at Larrabee Studios. During this time, Dave Pensado was working at the studio and his assistant went away on vacation. Ariel had only been assisting for a short time, and there were people in the room that had more experience than him. Despite all of that, Dave chose Ariel to assist because he had a &#8220;can-do&#8221; attitude and was available to make things happen and keep sessions flowing smoothly&#8212;all hallmarks of a great assistant and future <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/whats-the-role-of-an-audio-engineer\/\">engineer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Making mistakes as an assistant and learning to pay attention to the finer details of a session contributed greatly to Ariel&#8217;s success as well. He has shared stories about a session where he plugged in patch cables and got the numbering off by a single insert. It&#8217;s mistakes like those that taught him the importance of being focused and knowing his environment. Instead of beating himself up about the flub, he used this lesson to push himself to learn and memorize the patch bay.<\/p>\n<p>This made him a better assistant then, and in the grand scheme of things, it prepared him to be the successful engineer he is today by applying that same approach to everything. Hard work and being a go-getter have helped Ariel tremendously throughout his career.<\/p>\n<h5>Nicki Minaj&#8217;s\u00a0<em>Pink Friday<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42303 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-40x40.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-18x18.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-16x16.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-14x14.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-10x10.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Pink_Friday_album_cover-9x9.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Released in November 2010, Pink<i> Friday<\/i>\u00a0is Nicki Minaj&#8217;s debut record.

It doesn&#8217;t matter where you&#8217;re located; anyone can take full advantage of amazing mix engineering. With Ariel, clients get the benefit of a GRAMMY-nominated mix engineer using state-of-the-art equipment. E-mixing is also beneficial in that there aren&#8217;t any time restraints on approving mixes, the ability to approve mixes on speakers clients actually know, and reduced studio costs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42308\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42308 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Ariel_5448-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ariel at the helm, courtesy of arielchobaz.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ariel Chobaz is at the forefront of hip hop\/pop engineering and mixing for some of the biggest stars in the genre, as well as quality, affordable online mixing for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read\/Watch:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-stereo-mix-hit-harder-with-ariel-chobaz\/\">Mixing Vocals to a 2-Track with Ariel Chobaz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/create-great-sounding-vocal-stutter-effect\/\">Vocal Stutter Effects with Ariel Chobaz<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ariel Chobaz is a GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum engineer and mixer with handfuls of Billboard #1s under his belt.\u00a0He mixed a record-breaking number of singles charted by a female rap album\u00a0with Nicki Minaj\u2019s\u00a0Pink Friday.
