    I worked with Maja to mix and master a few Kpop tracks I've been very excited about. He delivered efficiently with a straightforward process, and was so collaborative and easy to work with. With just a few iterations, we were able to get each track sounding polished and radio-ready. I highly recommend Maja!

    Awesome experience! Maja is very thorough in his work and I felt his willingness to really understand what I wanted from the mix. The mixing quality surpassed my expectations, I am very happy and can't wait to release the song. Maja is a true professional and I will definitely come back with my next song.

    It was a really satisfying work, my music mixed by Maja is like a really neat interior and all the instruments are well arranged.
    Maja thought about it together to find the sound I wanted and the communication was very active. For me, working with him was an inspirational time.
    In addition to the technical side, I think the emotional side is quite important
    My song that Maja mixed is a perfect result both technically and emotionally.
    I will work on the next song with him.

    really did an awesome job. It was clear to see that he took his time to MAJA understand what vibe the song wants to convey and in what direction the artists wants to go. The communication was better than I´ve ever experienced on sound better and he quickly realized anything I had in mind. Can highly recommend this gig to anyone thinking about ordering on this platform.

    I recently had the pleasure of using Maja’s Mixing Service for my latest music project and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the process was seamless and professional.
    Maja was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs, always taking the time to understand my vision for the music and incorporating my feedback every step of the way. His communication was excellent, and he was always quick to answer any questions I had.
    The final product was polished, balanced, and sounded amazing. Thank you so much Maja!

    I work with MAJA Music on two tracks and they were wonderful. Always very responsive and open to making changes even if it was just small details in the production and mixing. The recording session was also an amazing experience and i felt very appreciated as a singer and respected as an artist. Would highly recommend.

  14. A: I was inspired by a lot of artists in Pop, Indie-Pop and Rock. From Jonas Brothers, Dua Lipa, BTS, Coldplay, and Onerepublic to modern Bands and Artists.

  15. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  16. A: As a music producer, it is not only important of your production skill but also has to have a vision or could see the potential of the song. As a mix engineer, it is essential to know what your clients taste and what he/she is looking for in this project.

  17. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  18. A: When it comes to mixing, a lot of customers will ask about should they bypass the plugins or not. My answer is always, it depends! 1. Deactivate all of them except the ones that are important for songwriting and sound design. 2. A certain type of saturation or a special delay are effects that you should leave on. 3. Filter sweeps are also something you should keep. 4. EQs and compressors that you use for creating your own rough mix should be turned off. 5. If you use send-effects (like e.g. a reverb that returns in parallel to the source on another track), please also export them and send them to me.

  19. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  20. A: I think the boundaries between, songwriting, producing, and mixing is getting more and more blurred, so sometimes we will need a bit of time discussing and checking the files are corrected and ready to bring it to the next stage.

  22. A: Less is more and trust your gut.

  29. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  30. A: Feel free to discuss with me, the more we talk about it, the images will become more clear and precise.

  31. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  32. A: I will listen carefully to clients' references track and add my own taste/sound into the production appropriately(If needed).

  37. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  38. A: 70% Digital and 30% analog. I do believe analog gears have their unique sound character, but in nowadays, the high-quality digital world has conquered us.

  39. Q: What's your typical work process?
