Charlie Crown

Rooted in the same emotionality and technical ability that first endeared him to the EDM community, Charlie Crown is intent this time on proving himself on a global stage. The Miami-based, Colombian DJ, producer and mix engineer has released tracks through Universal Music, Sony Music, Ultra and Dim Mak; and garnered over 50+ million streams in the process. He’s received nods from some of dance music’s biggest names including The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, and Illenium; and shared stages with other incredible artists like Zomboy, Mija, and Le Youth; in addition to massive performances at Club Space Miami and Life in Color Festival. His most recent single, “Sinking” with Bronze Whale reached the top 25 on Apple Music’s Electronic charts in over 40 countries, and peaked at No. 28 on the US Electronic chart. Charlie Crown is endorsed by McDSP, iZotope, Fab Filter and Sonarworks audio plugins.

Charlie Crown and FabFilter

I've been using FabFilter plugins for over 10 years now and I've never looked back. Discovering the Pro-Q forever changed the way I produce music, and today the Pro-Q 4 is on every single channel by default — it's my go-to EQ, hands down. It lets me be meticulous and surgical in my mixing process, and I still use it as a dynamic EQ when I need to open up room for vocals in a mix. Frankly, there is no EQ more precise."

"Other staples in my arsenal are the Pro-MB, Saturn 2, and Pro-C 2. I reach for the Pro-MB whenever a sound needs an extra push on a specific band — expansion to bring a range forward, or compression on the top end to shape a sound. I use it constantly on bass to manipulate the top and the lows separately. Saturn 2 adds saturation to most of my basses and vocals — its creative possibilities are nearly endless and always take my productions to new heights. And the Pro-C 2 has become my go-to for parallel compression, vocals, and sidechain work — the visual feedback and the sidechain filter make it incredibly powerful."

"Lastly, the Pro-L 2 — a true staple that's in the master chain of every single track I've ever finished, because it's simultaneously one of the cleanest and boldest limiters on the market. Its ability to push gain without producing distortion or crushing the dynamics and transients makes it the perfect finishing touch to any project. Honestly, at this point everything FabFilter makes is in my arsenal — including the Pro-DS and Pro-R 2. My music wouldn't be the same without them."
