We worked on three songs with Austin and every time he delivered the goods! The mixes sound amazing and he accomodated all our requests always retaining the integrity of the song. Rock on!!

Austin is really something special! Very professional and accurate work!

Austin does great work, the mixes sound fantastic, and he's super easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

Austin did a fantastic job Mastering these two songs! I was very particular with this project and he worked with me until I was satisfied.

I had doubts about the tracks I sent Austin, but he was able to give me a great mix/master! He's got a good ear, and provides a top-notch finished product...so appreciated!

I love working with Austin! Easy to work with, easy to make changes and that is a rare quality. I appreciate it very much, excellent work!

This guy is making miracles!

Another excellent job!

Austin just mixed a 6-song project for me, and it sounds great! I appreciate his attention to detail and professionalism. He made great musical choices, came up with good sounds, and was open to incorporating my preferences and input. I did not present him with a pressing deadline, but it was still completed in a good amount of time for the number of songs mixed.

I am very satisfied with the mix delivered !

Austin has very good sense of rock sound! Already the first version of the mix sounded as needed. Great cooperation!

Austin is easy to work with and very professional. He gets the feel and style you are going for and adds his expertise to enhance the track. High quality and on time.

Austin is amazing! He has mixed and mastered two of my singles. You cannot get a better mix and master for his price. He’s super responsive and very good at taking any notes or tweaks you have. You can checkout my singles here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1o3WMmMb9oXcboDQ9A7gc4?si=TCwh2eaeQFeZpqGbwkUgfQ

He did a great job at making my songs sound organic and full. Just what I asked for. I will continue to work with him for future projects.

Always a pleasure to work with Austin. If you need a true rock mix - he’s your pick.

As always, Austin is magic!!!

This guy is an alien, I may have said it once, but he breaths and feels the music, regardless of the style. Pure magician! Thank you!

Great job 👏 on my song Austin. Once Austin had the right references for the song, he was able to nail the sound I wanted. Very pleased with the final.

Austin is absolutely incredible to work with! He brought this track to life and has a great ear for creating the perfect mix. I will be back with more tracks soon!

Austin has the ear, and the experience to do a great job. He mixed my cover song perfectly...radio ready!

Austin did an amazing job mixing all nine songs on my album. Before choosing Austin, I tried a couple of other mixers. None of them were able to bring the life out of a song like Austin.

Austin took my ideas to the next level, the final product totally exceded my expectations. Very friendly and receptive person. I made some suggestions and he addressed them one by one. Very easy to work with person, a real professional. Looking forward to working with him for future projects.
Highly recommended.

Austin excels at bringing songs to life. Somehow his mixes are always more three-dimensional and "on steroids" compared to the rough mixes I send him. Austin is my go-to mixer.

Austin handily knocked this mix out of the park. He brought out elements in the song that gave it more depth.

Working with Austin was great! We love the mix he made and will work with him on the next part of our project.

Once again it's been a pleasure to work with Austin. He could even solve unexpected problems regarding the tracks in an almost magical way. I really love the final touch he always gives to my music.

Austin is one very hard working, emotionally intelligent engineer. His touch is magic and he is very patient. Kudos to Austin-- he understands my style!

This song had many layers and lots of ear candy. Austin balanced all the different elements beautifully to bring out the lushness in the song. Thanks again Austin.

Austin really injected energy and life into this song. Another great mix from Austin!

Austin did a great job mixing my song and is really easy to work with.
Will definitely use his services again.

Austin feels the sound, he is super flexible and a great guy! Highly recommended. Much, much appreciated!

Wow! Austin's patience and professionalism really came through on this one for an awesome final mix. Getting the guitar tone nailed down turned out to be a challenge due to recording inexperience on my part, but Austin was helpful every step of the way and we got it to where it needed to be. Be assured that when you use Austin, there is absolutely no pressure to accept a mix you are unhappy with.

Another great mix...Austin did a great job of making the vocals shine on this one.

Austin delivers again! Very nice mix.

Absolute pro. Straight to the point, whatever you need he can get it done– no questions asked. I've always felt that past mixing engineers I've worked with forced me to settle with subpar quality, but with Austin we absolutely nailed it. 10/10 no stone left unturned.

I've used Austin about 10 times so far with projects ranging from Hard Rock to Top 40 Pop. He knocks it out of the park every time. He knows how to polish mixes to make them compete within the genre. I highly recommend Austin as a mixing/mastering engineer.

Austin is amazing! Super easy to work with and his mixes always sound better than we thought possible.

Austin mixed and mastered my EP, Social Fiction. He did a great job making everything sound better overall, and was a pleasure to work with. He was very open to any changes I wanted to make, and very quick in making those changes. I will certainly use him with any future projects.

Austin is amazing! He is great to work with and truly knows what he is doing. He mixed our tracks to sound tremendous and gave us the finished results we were looking for. We will never have to look for anyone else to mix our songs as long as Austin is working. Selfishly, I have to say I hope he doesn't retire for a long time! I end by saying I recommend him wholeheartedly, I assure you, you won't be disappointed!

Another great mix experience with Austin. One of the most patient professionals I've ever worked with...always has an open ear for feedback. On this mix, he really knocked the vocals out of the park.

Holy smokes, did I get hot rocking mixes from Austin! To tell the truth, The bar of my expectations was pretty high, but Austin took the hight no problem. He is sure the man for your rock mixes.

What a great experience working with Austin. His ear is spot on and he took my song to a completely new level. This is as high quality of a mix and master that you can get. I will be working with Austin much more in the near future. Thanks Austin!

Austin is a GREAT mixer - both in terms of technical approach and creative inventiveness. As a mixing engineer, I'm impressed with the mix he delivered on the very first try. The mix is sonically pleasing and fits the production artistically. I believe Austin is among those few capable of releasing the full potential of your recording, so go ahead and let him mix your next hit song!

Austin killed it on my hard rock track! Very receptible to my revisions and had a great work ethic. The track I ended up with slaps so hard it's ridiculous, very happy and will definitely remember him for future

This is not the first time I have worked with Austin Deptula ... but I must say that I have worked on my own projects and with other cool recording and mixing engineers. Austin Deptula foresees "предвидеть" what you want to hear.

Austin is the ONE mixing engineer to go with. I am so glad I found him for my last project and confidently came back this time. Many others tell you they've got the ear, but they haven't. Austin's first mixes are on spot almost everytime. After some minor tweaks concerning compression and taste-related decisions I am more than happy with the result. Last time I had a rock song, this time a female piano ballad. Both times wonderful result! This guy is a real artist!

Austin is the man to mix your song. He takes what you give him, listens to your notes and feedback, and turns coal to diamonds. For this song, his mix actually changed my perspective on the song itself. Now when I go back and listen to the rough mix I gave him, I think to myself, "Thank God for Austin."

Awesome work as always! We loved the mix and Austin is very easy to work with. He took what we wanted and not only nailed it, but made it better than we thought!
-Michael of The Finite Beings

Austin gave us hope when we were about to settle. We recorded our first home studio track and sent it around to other mixing engineers with results varying from decent to just just bad. We were giving up hopes and thought that maybe it was our fault for not providing quality tracks. With one last try we found Austin and with his first mixing attempt, he sent us gold. We knew we had finally found the right guy. We can't recommend him enough and will definitely be going back for our album.

I hired Austin to master 2 projects recently! I was equally happy and impressed with both projects!

Austin did an INCREDIBLE job! He’s a highly skilled Pro and is very intuitive with sound and dynamics. He brought my mix to a whole new level. He’s beyond amazing with direction, detail, feedback and is very patient. Absolutely the BEST mixer/engineer! Thank you sooo much Austin!:-)

Excellent working with Austin! He does a great job and is responsive and courteous to your needs and requests. Will be using him again!

Great to work with Austin. Loved the final product.

Austin brought my dead and boxy rough mix to life. I actually sent my song to two different mixers simultaneously and Austin blew the other mix out of the water. Even more impressive was Austin's patience with my many detailed comments. Never did I feel pressured by Austin to compromise or just accept the mix as is, which is very important to me. All in all, I'm very happy to have found him...thank you!

Second time working with Austin just as good as the first. Highly recommended!

Always a joy to work with Austin - he’s an incredible mixing engineer. He took my input and created the exact mix I wanted.

I really enjoy working with Austin. I just completed my second project with him and it turned out great. I gave him very little direction on this one, trusted his judgment and told him make it so it sounds good to you and we’ll go from there. He basically nailed it on the first mix, with just a small change I wanted done for personal reasons. The recordings I provided him were far from perfect but he really made them shine. I plan on using him again in 2021.

What an amazing ear this guys has! We couldn’t be more grateful for his talents on this song. He made out song sound professional and polished. Thanks so much for your work on this, Austin!

Best decision ever! During the last 10-15 years I worked together with a lot of different recording studios and engineers and I heard many different mixes of various songs/artists/genres...But I really have to say, that I never felt that happy with the results as with Austin's work! Austin is a professional with the talent to absolutely attend to your requests. So it was truly a great pleasure to work with him and I'll definitely come again with my next recordings :D!

Austin’s work is phenomenal - he really knows how to bring a song to life from your raw mix to his final product. My band’s recordings now sound totally professional and radio-quality thanks to him. Austin is also very patient, friendly and easy to work with. He always understands our notes and comments perfectly, even when they sometimes get a bit complex. The man clearly knows what he’s doing. We are definitely sticking with him and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a mix done right.

Austin did a great job on the mix and was very professional and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Austin is amazing to work with and does fantastic work. We were excited to get that first mix of our song and were extremely pleased because his first mix was leagues ahead of what we normally get on the first mix. All we needed was a few minor preferences adjusted which he did masterfully. I recommend Austin 100% and we will definitely work with him again. Thank you Austin for taking our tracks and mixing them into the song we envisioned when we recorded the tracks. We will be back!

Austin did a great job mixing and mastering my rock song. I gave him 50+ tracks and he turned mud into gold. Thanks Austin!

Austin mixed 3 songs for me - all in different genres that needed subtle finesses in different ways, and he delivered. Very happy with the quality and initiative he took, and the professionalism / turnaround time. Will use him again.

I can’t express how great this mix sounds and how happy I am. Really! I would give ten stars, if possible. Austin made my song sound like a major production. I am a really critical mind with a well trained ear. I had Austin mix a song that had been mixed by another "professional mixing engineer" before, but sounded dull and empty at the end. Then came "snare drum king" Austin and made a whole new experience out of it. Search no further and hire him!

Austin is not only extremely talented, but a pure joy to work with! I will definitely be using his services in the future.

Working with Austin was great. He brought a perspective to the mix that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. At the same time, he was very open to any feedback I had or changes I wanted made. He was also quick to respond to questions and communication was great throughout the project. I plan on using Austin in the future and highly recommend him.

Austin is amazing. He's super friendly, helpful and replies really quick.
His mixes are very musical and he knows exactly what a song needs.
I HIGHLY recommend him.

This was my first time working with Austin from a recommendation. I loved working with Austin, he was patient and did everything how I wanted it to sound!

Austin took our song to a whole new level. It came out better than I even imagined. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend. A true professional and talent. Top notch.

Another great mix! Austin has a way of bringing out the best elements of a track but still achieving perfect balance and a HUGE sounding mix. The man is a wizard and the best I’ve ever worked with. Also very patient with and accommodating to picky artists like myself. Thanks, Austin!!!

Superb engineering

One of the best mixing/ mastering engineers I've ever worked with.
Amazing sound, highly professional and a super nice guy.

Excellent work! Austin delivers a high quality product I definitely recommend!

Fantastic to work with! EXCELLENT communication, fast replies, and not to mention, incredible at mixing and mastering!

Austin is very professional at what he does. highly recommended

I have no words. It's been wonderful to agree. I think I've found the best mixer. It's been all quick and easy. The first test is already really valid. I hope I can keep working with him

Austin did a great job and put a lot of time into making my track as good as possible! I asked for a few small revisions and he was quick and accommodating.

Austin is a gem, I feel very very lucky to have found him and to have him on my tracks. He's so accomodating and just gets mix notes and gets it done. What a fantastic experience! Couldn't recommend him more and I hope to continue working with him on future projects.

Austin was great to work with. Nailed the mastering in the first try! Extremely solid + great communicator + super fast.

Excited to work with him again soon.

Austin is the best!!! He is super nice, replies really fast and his mix sounds phenomenal! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing sounding mix/ master!

Austin is a true professional who mastered my debut album with great attention to detail and quality. I thought the process of remote mastering was going to be difficult but he addressed all of my concerns with patience and great artistry. I recommend him a 100% and would work with him again. Thanks Austin!

We'r band from Russia and we scared that we couldnt find right way for communication with sound engineer from US, but everything was awesome! Austin did a great job, He gave's a feedback very fast and it'was real pleasure to work with Austin!

Austin just finished mixing one of my songs, and it turned out AWESOME! He was very patient and accommodating to my prefered mixing tweaks, no matter how small they were. Austin was able to hone-in on the sound I was looking for and delivered very quickly. Thanks, Austin!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Austin. He is an amazing mix engineer and went above and beyond on the project!

Simply a total awesome guy to work with! This is our 3rd single - and planning to do much more over the coming months with Austin.
Couldn't recommend him more highly.

You've done a great job, as usual. Thanks Austin!

I don't know where to start. Austin is a total legend! A mixing ninja!
His patience, creativity and passion to make sure the song sounds the very best it possibly can is amazing. It is such a pleasure to work with him and I really am looking forward to many more mixing project with Austin.

Austin did such an awesome job. He really took the time to make sure the violin sounded as good as possible and mixed well with the rest of the music. I would use him again on a project.

Austin is professional, very straightforward, easy to communicate with, and a very talented mix/mastering engineer. We did a 3 song indie rock project with him and the results were fantastic. I recorded all the tracks in my home studio (elec/aco guitars, bass, live drum set/percussion, vocals/group vocals) and Austin, brought the energy out of our performance throughout each mix. He made the songs sound professional and helped maintain our initial artistic vision.

Austin has provided us with a great mix/master for our song. The process to get there has been professional and enjoyable. The communication was good. He was listening and open to ideas. We never felt pressured or pushed around. Great experience!

Boy did I make the right choice in mixing my song with Austin. From the first mix, he heard and brought out elements in the tracks that not only had I overlooked, but that truly made the song shine in ways I had not imagined. That, along with his technical mastery, responsiveness and easygoing demeanor made both the process and the outcome a joy. When he writes that he puts 100% into his work - he means it, and it means a lot. Hope to work again with Austin, for sure.

Austin is FANTASTIC, definitely knows what he is doing-- flexible to the needs, and does the job primarily to satisfy the client's need, and his motivation is not the money. Thank you much, brother!

Very experienced mixer I met ever. Nice cooperation with Austin!!!

Austin is always professional, his skills never disappoint. He took the time to work with my song and make sure the best mix was delivered.

Just perfect !

Austin did a seriously great job with my tracks. I'm pretty good at mixing and have been doing it for years, but I was relatively lost with this particular mix, and I wasn't even sure if anyone could improve it. But it is VASTLY improved. Would work with Austin again no problems!

Austin is a great mixer with a high artistic sensitivity. He immediately understood in which direction I wanted to go for my mix.
Big thanks !

Austin was a total legend. Had a great mix, listened to all my changes and was really easy to work with. It was such a joy and pleasure to work with and looking forward to future projects.

Always, His mixes are truly amazing.

Austin Deptula is definitely one of the best mixing engineers I've ever worked with! I ended up making an entire album with him and it all turned out great! Not only are the mixes great sounding but also the fast and nice communication and the willing to give the project everything it needs to turn out great make him the perfect mixing engineer! I enjoyed working with him on the whole album and will definitely do it again anytime! Thx Austin!

Austin produces killer, radio-ready mixes. The guy has super communication skills, and most importantly... a musicality that is truly next level.

Always perfect!

Austin provided a mix that was right on the mark of what i was after. I left him to his own devices and he provided a radio ready mix of my song. everything sat nicely together and gave it a big sound. Austin is great to work with. looking forward to the next mix with him

This is now my third track with Austin. His patience, professionalism and overall dedication to providing the perfect mix & master is something special. He is exceptional in every right. A rare find on SoundBetter and someone who truly deserves all accolades he has received up until this point. Our track sounds amazing and we will use Austin again and again. Highly recommended.

His meticulous skill made my song better.
I was impressed by his kind consideration of my many requests. This is the second time I've worked with him. He is the best!

Austin is a fantastic professional. Always in touch and always willing to do the best for you. I will always work with him!

I was so happy to know him and I could open my eyes to a new mixing.

Great mixes. Very full and clear. Austin is also very patient and easy to work with. Amazing job!

Amazing work! Delivered the project exactly how I wanted it in a timely manner. Very easy to work with and communicate with. I would recommend to anyone who needs mixing or mastering.

Austin has mixed 55+ songs for me. There are strong reasons why the guy has mixes on the Billboard top 40. Here are the reasons I keep on going back to Austin:
•Radio-ready, contemporary mix
•Lightning quick turnaround
•Deep ears and experience in many genres
•"Goosebumps" when you get the mix back
•Austin can fix anything
•SUPER reasonable pricing

First of all I would like to say Austin knows how to treat his customers, 1st Class. He went above and beyong the call of duty and made sure I was happy. Communication back and forth was flawless! I left the track with Austin and in less than a week the result returned. Exacty what we'd hoped for. Thanks Austin your the MAN!!!

Austin is the best. Expect:
- Pro
- Incredible ears
- Very accommodating
- Responsive
- Genuine
- Listens incredibly well to client requests and overdelivers

Could not be happier.

Austin is easy to work with and listens to your musical goals. He is reliable and takes the time to understand each idea you have. He worked his magic faster than I expected as well. This guy really knows his stuff. Thanks so much for everything, Austin!

Second track mixed and mastered by Austin. His professionalism was outstanding and the quality of his work is excellent. He has an ear for making a great mix, ideas and concepts that can give the entire song a different feel and sonic tone completely and most of all he really captures your exact vision for a song. A privilege to work with him.

Austin is literally the best guy to work with / collaborate. Such a talented guy, gives it to you straight and takes your tunes to a new level! If you are thinking about using him, stop thinking. You won't regret it.

Austin is a fantastic and highly professional engineer. He transformed our track into something really special. He is always willing to assist and provide the best solutions to challenges with the mix and the final product is out of this world. Highly recommend Austin who wishes to achieve their sonic dream for their music.

Great work and amazing result! Thanks Austin!

WOW!!!

Austin is easy to work with and was open to my references with a touch of creativity. The outcome was simply amazing and did a great job ...

Solid, clear mixes. Easy to communicate with and willing to help bring your vision to life.

Austin was very easy to work with. He was open to my ideas and suggestions, but also had creative ideas of his own which helped bring the mix to life in a way that wouldn't have happened otherwise. I'm more than happy with how my track turned out.

Working with Austin has been a great experience. I was looking for someone to add a little imagination into the mix and he did a great job. Very happy with the overall sound, Would recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Austin. He was incredibly accommodating and really went over and above to help me materialise the vision I had for my track. I'm highly impressed by his work ethic and very happy with the outcome. Absolutely recommend!!

Austin did a great job with my song, really gave it an interesting spin

The finest audio production for my recordings.

Remember this information. His name is Austin. He will help. Result is amazing!

Austin is a true professional. He really takes the time to make sure you get what you want out of your mix and won't stop until it's exactly where you want it. We'll be using him to mix our entire album after hearing the spot on mix he was able to provide for us!

I've been working in the music business professionally for over a decade, having recorded at numerous studios in Nashville, Dallas, Austin, and beyond. Austin Deptula's work beats it all! He's been my go-to for musical projects for years, because he gets that it's the small details that make up the big picture we're going for 100%.

Austin is hard to beat. He understands the vision of each song, and really puts in the effort to go above and beyond my expectations every time he mixes a project for me.

I am nortorious for being dissatisfied with mixes. So even though I knew of Austin's pedigree, I put my latest project in his hands with a sense of hope-so. But when I heard the mixes, I was beyond impressed. Austin understands the how's and why's of the mix process and has a true ear for different genres. Our mix sounds great across all platforms.

The mixes we got back from Austin were incredible! It is no easy task to mix hard rock well, but with his mixes, everything sits in the right place and delivers the organic sound we were looking for. Austin won't stop until you have what you're looking for!

Austin did a tremendous job on the the debut album from Blacktop Mojo and an even more amazing job on the sophomore project. The sonic quality, punch, and dynamics really stand out. Great ear and great taste, as a mixing engineer. We couldn't be happier with all he has done for us!
