I can highly recommend Alex. I had a number of stems, both wet and dry and he managed to create a really strong, cohesive track that sounds great and polished. He listened to my suggestions while offering his own ideas, which were always on the money. I'm definitely working with him again, with pleasure!
check_circleVerifiedAlex is one of the best Mix Engineers I've ever worked with. Extremely talented and just a really nice guy too. He worked on a lofi/boom bap beat of mine and I genuinely couldn't be happier with how it sounds. Thank you bro!

Great work and communication.
check_circleVerifiedAnother great experience with Alex! This is the 4th song I've worked with him so far this year and he's been outstanding every time. He's extremely patient and always delivers great results. I had to go on a work trip that put me away from my music for a few days and the delay was no problem for Alex. I'd highly recommend him for anyone looking for excellent quality mixing and mastering!
check_circleVerifieddontaskalex is a superstar 🔥. Once again he has exceeded my expectations. He's extremely attentive when I'm trying to explain my vision, he goes away and then brings that vision to life!

As of this writing, I am closing in on the completion of a lofi album with Alex and he has been relentless in his pursuit of getting things to a place where we are both happy with the final product.
We still have a little ways to go - including a final pass through to make sure all the songs fit together as a cohesive whole - but based on how things are going, I know he won't stop until we have the best album possible!
Super grateful for all his skill and hard work.

Alex is the best! He is so talented and goes above and beyond to bring your exact vision to life. Super professional and and just the nicest. Highly recommend!
check_circleVerifiedAlex is an amazing super versatile engineer.
He can jump from pop to hip-hop, R&B, experimental without a problem.
Yet he makes sure that the songs of your project blend together by giving them a common identity from the vocals to the music.

Another successful project working with Alex. He's incredible at mixing and mastering and I highly recommend his services. Easy to work with, flexible with changes and super high quality results. Thanks again!

WOW!!! dontaskalex has once again exceeded my expectations, he is a clear communicator who is highly efficient with his adjustments and guidance/advice, which i dearly appreciate.
We are already talking about our next project.

I'm used to making music solo and without any collaboration, so I'm picky when it comes to mixing and I'm not always comfortable giving notes. When I was looking for someone to help me with my first lo-fi project, it had to be someone experienced in lo-fi but reasonably priced and willing to work together, ride or die. Alex is extraordinarily well-suited for this; he has a great, laid-back attitude (much like the lo-fi music he mixes) and is a reliable communicator. Look forward to doing more!

Another great mix from Alex! Have done 5 songs together so far and will do more for sure. He is a pleasure to work with. Very clear and quick communication. And the music is elevated every time.
