Collaborating with Michael was an absolute 100/10 experience! His creativity, attention to detail, additional production elements and ability to be in my creative mind to fuse orchestral, cinematic, rock and house elements blew me away. As mixer, he brought depth, emotion and power to the track that elevated it beyond expectation. Professional, intuitive, and inspiring - Michael is a sonic wizard. Can’t wait to do it again! 🙌🔥
check_circleVerifiedThere is not enough room to fully explain how good Michael is to work with. Yes, the quality is absolutely top level. He knows his art inside and out and on the fly can make the right moves. But it's mainly an experience of being understood. Talking about music is not an exact exchange. He can hear what I'm communicating deeper than my words can express and immediately has ideas and solutions to bring the mix to something greater than I imagined.

Working with Michael has been a revelation for me in my process of producing my own music. I’m writing this review to other artists like myself who perhaps have become frustrated or alienated by experiences with mixing engineers. They all want to do a great job. Yet passing your heart and soul in the form of your stems can be a transformational opportunity in the hands of Michael. Trust him.
check_circleVerifiedHad a great time working with Michael to mix my EP-- he was able to get exactly the type of sound I was going for and make the different elements work together nicely
check_circleVerifiedMichael was very accommodating of my atypical workflow, multitracking in the studio and then converting that session into professionally mixed/mastered demos. A particularly good fit given his experience in the EDM space.

Working with Michael Badal was more than I could hope for. He knew right off what needed to be done, and absolutely went the extra mile to make sure the final mix and master was spot on! The final master made my track stand out like I’ve never heard before!
I would highly recommend and even encourage you to work with Michael Badal, if you’re looking for someone at the top of their game not only willing to put in the proper time, but also really into what his craft is all about!
check_circleVerifiedMichael did an amazing job helping me with production and mixing and mastering my song. He took a lot of time explaining things to me during the process and I couldn't be happier with the song! The mix is incredible and I'm definitely coming back for more work.

check_circleVerifiedWorking with Michael on our album has been nothing short of extraordinary. His flexibility and willingness to adapt made him a standout partner from day one. His creativity knows no bounds, constantly pushing the envelope to exceed even my highest expectations.
What sets Michael apart is his meticulous attention to detail. His keen eye has been invaluable in an industry where the small things matter. Even more impressive is his unwavering professionalism throughout the journey. 6 stars!!!!
Interview with Michael Badal
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: It's different strokes for different folks. it's really a matter of taste. I personally love the sound of analog, but it's not always needed or even wanted depending on the project. My studio is capable of analog summing and can provide my clients with a hybrid mix where their songs are mixed in the DAW, but are summed out through my analog gear and brought back in for the final render.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love bringing my client's project to a close for them. I get to see them finally listen to their project in its finished state after months of them producing and recording their pieces of art. And for them to trust me with the final mix and master of their project is an honor I don't take lightly.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work on anything from Dance music to Classical to Pop to Rock to Hip Hop and everything in between. I don't discriminate on style and genre. My clients come from all kinds of musical walks and I embrace it as it keeps my job very interesting.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I run Logic Pro X primarily, but also have Pro Tools running in the studio. For mixing and mastering, I have Focal Shape Twin and Avantone Mix Cube monitors, a Dangerous Music 2-BUS+, an array of UAD-2 and Waves plugins, a MOTU 896mk3 interface, and a TC Electronic Clarity M for metering.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: For clients, the most common type of work I perform is in the form of mixing, mastering, and remixing. I also produce music for myself and other artists as well.
