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

François, or The Sorcier as I call him, understands music on a very different level. I trust François with my songs unlike I do anyone else because of the way he listens to my music. As a musician, we all know the most important thing when mixing is to have someone who not only enjoys your music, but truly understands it. I am very grateful to have found François on SoundBetter. Merci Sorcier!

We started working on two titles, and the result is beyond my expectations. François is very attentive, responsive and very kind. He was able to bring a unique DNA and got involved in my project by also bringing a creative vision. It's the beginning of a great adventure that I wouldn't want to share with anyone else. François is THE GUY. Merci à toi.

Almost halfway through the record - still very pleased with what Francois does :)

François really brought my song to life. He is the perfect balance of a creative person doing what he feels works best, while also taking direction to make sure it's what I want. He helped me see my song differently, in the best way. Super fast turnarounds. We've already started our next collaboration and am looking forward to what he does next.

I’m very happy with the result! - check_circleVerified
This magician is not just any ordinary conjurer with a simple wand. When one makes a wish, his wand transforms it into an even grander reality, exceeding all expectations.

François was a pleasure to work with again. He was able to balance the vocals on my song so that everything blended well together. He is also very prompt in his responses! I highly recommend!

Francois did another great job mixing a long and involved (many parts) song for me. Francois is able to hear the song and create a mix to bring out the intended feel. Well done!

Francois Michaud has a very VERY special ear when it comes to mixing. This sense that you're not hearing an overly produced mix just to get it sounding like a pop song; but more-so you're getting the perfect mix for the specific song you made, as mixing is not a one size fits all art form. He really listened to my song and submitted to the path it laid. And after a few rounds of mods he never once had an ego or got angry that I had things I wanted differently. 10/10 guy right here, HIRE HIM!

François Was incredible to work with. He was able to get my mix done quickly and with high quality! His interactions were prompt, kind, and professional. I would definitely work with him again.

François is very diligent & responsive when working through mixes! He took the time to re-amp all of my guitar tones, which is my biggest weakness. Very great engineer to work with!
