Endorse Direckt of Fast Life Beats- check_circleVerified
I had the pleasure of working with Direckt on one of the hardest tracks I’ve ever made. As an amateur producer, my production skills are still a work in progress, but Direckt was able to work through my flaws and make the music sound exactly how I imagined it. What helped me the most was how he handled the bass—it was perfectly blended and made the final version sound coherent and professional. He worked tirelessly until I was completely satisfied. I would absolutely encourage working with him

Direckt is the most creative sound engineer I've ever worked with. He hears parts of the song that aren't there yet. He adds color and character to every part of the track. He is also a terrific listener and communicator. He makes sure that there is a shared understanding and executes efficiently. This guy understands sound.

The GOAT. Don't underestimate a man who has a degree in Audio Production.
You could spend 4x the cash and get a worse mix or you can go with a certified, degree-holding, master of mixing. Your choice!

Direckt did such a great job with my project. We worked on a 7 track album and he nailed it. He’s quick to the draw with his mixes and masters. He was patient with me and waited to see my vision , even when i couldn’t quite articulate what I wanted…. He knew…. He alllllways knows 💀
Excellent communicator. I always felt like I could be honest with him and that he would respond quickly.
Thanks brother 💪🏻
