Another great project with Steve! Looking forward to working together once again!
check_circleVerifiedI don't know if I'll ever have anyone else mix our songs from here on out. Steve is reasonably priced and has a very quick turn around. But that's not even the best part. The best part is what he does with these songs. He puts a polish and shine on them that takes them into another realm. Very easy to work with and just immeasurable results. Thanks again Steve and I will be back soon with more songs for you!
