Endorse David Schoenwetter- check_circleVerified
Don't let Dave's laidback demeanor fool you; he's a true professional. He's got great ideas, executes them efficiently, and has integrity in his work. I never once felt like he was phoning it in. It was clear that he wanted my project to be something we could both be proud of. He also listens carefully to what you want and lets that guide the process, which I appreciated very much. We're already working on more music together and I think this will be the beginning of a long fruitful partnership.

David was a great choice. He transformed my demo version into a quality pop song and included all my wishes and ideas. Even he was open to let me watch a session on a shared display. And finally he has a good heart and works very professionally and communicates with clarity. Also he knows how to treat emotional artists so they can progress. :) Thank you David!

David created a very unique perspective on a sound and it's going to surely create a buzz soon. I am positive that I will work with him in the future. He was someone I wanted to work with and I am so glad that he said yes because he turned out to be the perfect person for the project because he took a sound and the examples and turned it into a vision. This is what a producer does! Truly top of the line. I couldn't ask for anything better. He also went above and beyond. Five plus stars.

David is a phenomenal producer, and has a terrific sense for how to take a song to the next level. I sought David out for additional production and arrangement work on a track I wrote and produced and in a very short time he was able to truly enhance where I had taken it, giving the chorus a way more satisfying impact, and adding to the texture and character of the track. Highly recommend, not just for his production skills but equally for his arrangement and songwriting sensibilities.

This was the second track that I worked with David on. The first one he produced scored 10/10 and somehow he even managed to improve on that. He focused his time at the outset getting the foundations in place that best capture the essence of the song and that then launched the track on a great trajectory. David was highly professional throughout.

David was great to work with; polite, timely and diligent to get the song right and the end result was very strong. I was not prescriptive at the outset so he could explore the track as he heard it. He quickly came back with a first version that was comprehensive and captured the essence of the song, making it easy to add the vocal part and the rest was about adding details and tweaking, which he executed very well.

I don't even know where to start! David was absolutely amazing to work with in every way! The creative vibe/energy was amazing- he is extremely talented, easygoing, helpful, and responsive. This was my first record after taking a long hiatus from the music industry, and I couldn't have asked for a better producer/engineer to help me believe in myself again. I cannot wait to work on 100 more records together!

David is an extraordinary producer who’s work always sounds fresh and unique because he can blend styles with ease. I've worked with him on a number of projects and they all came out great. David is also an excellent communicator and an all around awesome guy!
David is INCREDIBLE. He's kind, chill, and a great listener. He knows how to make your song sound great, while also making it sound like you. He's not afraid to tell you where it needs work as well, so it really turns into something even better when you get him involved. Also he really makes you feel like a priority, which was super important to me. Thanks Dave!
Recently worked with David on an amazing track. Super knowledgeable, easy-going and a fast yet meticulous worker. Highly recommended!
David is really talented, versatile and really easy to work with. He's a really clear communicator and delivers on time. Lovely guy too! Highly recommend him.
Not only is David talented but is capable of inspiring writers to see things in a different perspective. Not afraid of taking risks, understanding emotions, and the importance of words and sounds, David helped me write a song that I was never able to see throw my own eyes. I'd recommend David if you are looking for next level productions, writing, and challenging yourself to be a better artist.
One of the top producers in the game!
Very fast. Super talented. Professional to the end. Great to work with!
I was fortunate enough to learn some very useful and important things about music production from David. He's a very knowledgable and nice guy who's willing to help out anyone who needs a hand! You need a guy with that kind of dedication to people and music!
I have worked with Dave on many projects and I can honestly say that he is extremely talented, hard working and always delivers. Every project that he has worked on for me has been of stellar quality and the thing I like the most is his versatility to work across multiple genres. Dave is definitely worth considering for all your projects!
I've recorded on over 100 records. I worked with Dave on quite possibly my favorite sounding of all of them. He's a hard worker who's only priority is making the artist sound great. One of the best in NYC, hands down. Hire him!
