    Ariel is the bomb! So happy to have been able to work with him a second time, and I’ve got no plans to send songs anywhere else. He is professional, patient, and a great communicator, on top of being a highly skilled engineer and artist. I’ll always recommend him.

    We love Ariel's mixes. Huge low end with clarity in the highs and not muddy but warm. Highest recommendation. We have loved every one of Ariel's mixes. Thank you Ariel. E

    I appreciate the time Ariel takes to make sure the mix not only sounds great, but doesn't take away from the vision of the song. I've found it difficult to find people that keep that in mind while working on a record. Ariel takes that weight off of my shoulder whenever I am trying to get a song to the finish line! Will definitely be getting more songs mixed with him in the future!

    Ariel got the mix just perfect -- which is a really high bar! He totally understood the vision, and he's also a nice guy and a great communicator.

    Highly recommend, and so glad to have had the chance to work with him!

    I highly recommend Ariel to any artist who's serious about their product.
    1) Ariel has actually made *verified* world-wide hits, and the song he gave us back sounds like a world-wide hit!!!
    2) The proposal he gave us had a specified delivery date, and he had a mix ready ON THAT DATE.
    3) The level of expertise he has, and the quality of the product that he gives you in return IS A STEAL for the price that he asks. If you're doing business with your music, there's no question IT IS WORTH IT!

    Working with Ariel was an amazing! When I received my mix the notes I had were so minimal because his mix was almost spot on to what I wanted my song to sound like. I highly recommend working with Ariel if you are looking for an industry quality sound and a professional experience when it comes to service.

    I came to Ariel to mix a song that I was producing for a film. I knew he would do a phenomenal job just based on his incredible credits (and having heard many of his brilliant mixes). And yet, he still managed to exceed my expectations. He did a seriously fantastic job and I will definitely be coming back. Not to mention on a person to person level Ariel is one of the most present and collaborative artists that I've ever worked with. A true professional! Highly recommended!

    Every time I send a song to Ariel, he sends it back sounding better than I imagined. He's always pleasant to work with and gets back in a timely manner. Seeing the "This sounds so good" smile on my artists face always makes it worth while. There aren't enough stars I could rate high enough for his work

    This genius pro is mixing and mastering PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ARIEL! Extremely happy with the result. I absolutely love Ariel's mixing and mastering on "Heart Revolution" so much, and many people who have reviewed the song have also commented that the song is perfectly mixed and mastered. All thanks to you Ariel! I will be getting all my songs mixed and mastered by Ariel. And he's a wonderful nice guy, always reliable. A true hitmaker.
