Tchad Blake about one of his session : " It was really well produced and recorded " !

    François Wild Horse Studio is an utter magician. Great ear, fantastic ability as a mix and master artist. He can always take the blueprint I have in my head and make it how I want to sound. Even on rounds of revisions, he takes a thoughtful approach to creating the vision I want.

    Thank you François!

    It's always such an amazing experience working remotely with francois. He has been so kind and professional at his work. He has mixed and mastered my prog Rock album , and i couldn't have been more happier than this . His understanding of the track is phenomenal, and I had to barely suggest anything from my end that was missing in the mix . Thank you so much my friend. It was a wonderful sonic journey with you.

    Once again, François has done amazing work on my songs. He truly knows how to bring a demo to life, making it sound polished and professional. His mixes have even inspired me to improve my own recording skills. These tracks were more experimental than the ones I'd sent him previously. Still, he captured every detail exactly as I heard it in my head. The final product is amazing. François is friendly, patient, and incredibly talented. I strongly recommend working with him!

    Francois's mix was impeccable. He captured all the emotion and energy of our song and brought it to the next level. He was easy to communicate with and was quick to reply to any questions I had. I can't wait to send him more work! Super Job!

    This is my second time working with Wild Horse Studio/François, and I really can't fault him at all. He is super talented, very patient and accommodating and open to feedback, and always strives to create the absolute very best quality. He is great at understanding your vision and translating that into music. I would recommend him 100% - you won't regret working with him :)

    I can say only one thing: this person is a pure genius, nothing less.
    His attention to detail, the way he dives into the mood and texture of the music, how intuitively he feels what’s missing and where, and how to bring a song exactly where it needs to be, all of this is straight-up wizardry.

    If you think magic is forbidden outside of Hogwarts, just work with François — he’ll prove to you that some rules don’t apply to him.

    Repeat customer. I have worked with Francois for a couple of songs now and I have even had the same song mixed by another highly rated mix engineer. Francois has been able to really draw out the emotions of my songs in a way that I believe no other can. For the genres listed on his profile I would say that Francois is among the best and will work with you to create a product that you are extremely happy with.

    Working with Francois and Wild Horse Studio has been a really beautiful experience. He is very thoughtful and committed to his craft. His mixes are beautiful and his creative expertise leaves you with music that lands exactly as you imagined it and even better at times. Very good with direct requests (decrease bass) and more ambiguous requests (It needs to feel like the singer is face to face with the listener). Will be collaborating with Francois again.
