TMP Productions saved the day! I thought there was no hope for some recordings of mine that had a host of technical problems, but Don got right to work and went well above and beyond the call of duty. He'll be hearing from me again, no question!

I gave Don a challenging contemporary crossover orchestral/rock mix and he handled it without a flinch. He worked with me meticulously through the revision process and delivered a mix that was superb!
- check_circleVerified
Easy communication, Good ideas, clean final product! Would recommend
- check_circleVerified
After working with TMR for the second time, we couldn't recommend them enough. The attention to detail and genuine passion employed by the team makes the whole process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We ran into a few issues on our end and Don was both extremely patient and extremely helpful and each track was done effectively the same day. We will definitely be going to them again, and would recommend the same to any other musicians out there. Thanks again Don!

another top notch job from Don. Couldn't be more pleased!

Don takes a different approach to most other producers, in that he involves the customer in the process to a much greater degree, rather than just giving a 'take it or leave it' mix. Top marks!

another top gig from Don. Always goes above and beyond.
Highly recommended - check_circleVerified
endlessly flexible and cooperative. Top marks!

- check_circleVerified
It’s really hard to get that professional sound that you hear on the radio But that’s definitely what I got. Don was amazing to work with and personable. He went the extra mile with my song and even helped out with editing a poorly distorted couple of tracks. It really feels like this guy cares more about the music than anything and I think that’s important when you’re looking for someone to help on your song. Highly recommend and will be working with him again.
- check_circleVerified
2nd time. Didn't get disappointed. Trust is the key here
- check_circleVerified
If you haven't worked with Don, you are light years behind. He is equivalent to the flash in his work skill and superman in his vision for your songs. Really patient and confident in his abilities. What are you waiting for, just hire him already..

Super nice guy. Very easy to work with. The way he lets you hear the song many different times during the process really helps to make sure it comes out sounding the way you want it to.

Couldn't recommend TMR enough! We worked with Don who was very clear, quick and direct throughout the whole process.

Don is dedicated and extremely professional. Great mixer and knowledgeable about his craft!

Really quick helpful and friendly with excellent end result.

Worked with Don on a mix/master for a song for my upcoming EP and he was brilliant. Not only did he do a great job with the music but he was communicative, open and incredibly fast in his responses. He also took the time to explain his process and how he was able to adjust certain quirks. Will absolutely work with him again in the future!

Look forward to working with Don again soon on an upcoming project ! - check_circleVerified
Very good work by Don at TMR. Another solid mix and master heading to the publisher. His interpretation of an odd genre best called Tension Christmas music was spot on . I also really appreciate the extra mile he went with some perfect suggestions to put this one in the winners circle.
Thank you Don! - check_circleVerified
Don with TMR was flawless - his turn around time was unexpected and his work helped me impress the right people for syncing my music to a major U.S. television network. He worked quickly, completely nailed each revision and was professional. Thank you Don.

This was the last track of my debut album "TERA", and was a such a smooth work. Even though the song is hard to mix, we did a great job. I want to work with them again. I am also very happy that they are comfortable with doing my after fix, including mix request for the previous songs. Big respect

I was happy to work with Don. He really gave my work a great consistency, and always in short delays. I recommend energically.
- check_circleVerified
This was my second mixing job with TMR and I have to say Don did a great job with both mixes. This latest job was a larger arrangement with all the usual rock elements plus a full horn section. The job could easily have taken weeks but it was done in just a few days. Don has a great ear and he uses Facebook Messenger to communicate in real time so you can hear results immediately. It really helps speed up the process. Highly recommended. Will definitely work with TMR again.
- check_circleVerified
A pleasure to work with. Quick and there when you need him.
- check_circleVerified
This was my first time working with Don on a song mix and I have to say it was a very smooth experience. Great communication, quick turnaround.

Looking forward to working with him again.

Working with Don Nafe has been one of the best professional decisions I have made to date!
Even though we were working remotely on this song, he made me feel as though I was sitting right next to him in his studio. Every single feedback was brought to life, yet at no time did we lose our momentum.
The aspect that stood out to me most, was his ability to understand my vision and make it happen.
Thank you Don, for making my dream a reality!
- check_circleVerified

Don was amazing to work with, fantastic communication, very professional, and great results. I will definitely be working with Don in the future!
- check_circleVerified
I contacted TMR with a time sensitive request.
It was for a song for a very important wedding.
Don went above and beyond, searching for tracks that could allow the mix we wanted. Even when it seemed doubtful to succeed, Don stuck it out and delivered.A+ effort = A+ results , enough said.
- check_circleVerified
I've had two songs mixed by Don now and all I can say is he's the best mixing engineer/ producer I've worked with. He has a knack for taking my comments, comparisons, metaphors and analogies and incorporating them into the song. I presented the first song he mixed to the band and they were completely blown away!
- check_circleVerified
I cannot say enough great things about working with TMR Productions. Don transforms my chaos into brilliance.
- check_circleVerified
I have to say, Don at TMR is awesome and worked some innovative magic to get my song sounding right! Not only that, he gave me an opportunity to engage what he could do before embarking down the process. Just a great artist to work with and I will be coming back!

- check_circleVerified
I must say I'm impressed! I asked Don to mix an 11 track live drum recording for me. Normally something like this would take a lot of time and extensive communication but he seemed to have a natural intuition for mixing drums and the result was perfect! All of this was done very quickly. This saved me days of mixing on my own. Money well spent!
- check_circleVerified
Don's instinct was right on for my track, and he was remarkably responsive to my thoughts. He clearly has extensive experience and a great ear for what will bring out the best in a track. Very smooth to work with.

TMR Productions, run by Don, are absolutely brilliant. He's incredibly responsive and a great communicator, taking on board any input and then feedback you might have.

We had an incredibly rewarding experience of having Don work on a hiphop punjabi track we had sent him. He was very quick and proficent at everything he was doing. Every change was done without any questions. The beat was very tricky to pull of but Don did a fantastic job, great value for money and what a guy....Legend

I recently had an incredibly rewarding experience of having Don work on some tracks I had sent him. He was very quick to respond to questions and he was true to his timeline. He was so easy to work with. He has an amazing ear for detail and is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Don and look forward to working with him in the future.
Second song mixed by Don, always a pleasure with his suggestions to improve the final result, so i'll keep on sending my tunes until our cd is complete.

Don did a terrific job mixing one of my songs with an orchestral arrangement. We were very attentive to details, it was a non-mainstream theatrical song, a challenging project. Don was super patient and professional in working with us through the entire process.
I just finish working with Don. He turned my shitty mix into a master piece. It was a pleasure to work with him and to share his knowledge. Also he is very paciente and very committed to you. Till you don't get the sound you are after is not over. What else could I say... A very recommend mixing engineer with a lot of experience and a great ear.
Don is great at what he does and the tracks sounded great; highly recommended!
I attempted to record/mix/master my own song at home, and it was just a huge mess. Don took the project over and performed some kind of miracle on the song. It was a night-and-day difference between the version I did and the finished product that Don handed me. I was so pleased with it. AMAZING! Don't try to wing it on your own - have Don do it!!
Don has the best ears around. Took our mix Sunset Blvd and breathed life into it.
Don is more than an engineer. Don has great experience in producing.
Combine his technical and creative experience and you have the whole package with Don.Don is a class act all the way! He's fantastic to work with and always has ideas that add and enhance the projects. spanning all genres, his sound is crisp , clear and refreshing. Ten thumbs up!

'Don knows his stuff and is a blast to work with. You'll appreciate his experience and patience.
When I recorded my voice over demo CD, Don Nafe was awesome. A true professional who stepped up to the plate to go beyond being a sound engineer, but also to offer his directorial suggestions, which always worked wonders! I'd recommend Don Nafe to anyone for any recording need!
I had great recording sessions with Don, he has a very good hear and he was able to guide me. Very professional and because of his good work, the final product was the best I could get.
I've known Don for some time now. Both in a sound capacity and a friendship has come from this aswell. He has done mixing in a live sound capacity, recording and he played drums with me.
He is excellent in all these aspects and I would not hesitate in recommending him for any projectI had the pleasure to work with Don this past year while recording my band Sea Change's first EP.
As a drummer, it was such a pleasure to work with someone who had my back. I could trust his word when he said it was a good take. He's easy going, he knows his gear inside and out, and the final result was beautiful. He's super generous dude too.I have worked with Don on and off since the late 80s/early 90s. He's knowledgeable, he knows his gear, and has the sound and mixing knowledge to make you sound great. He is an amazing drummer, as well, and has an impeccable ear for drum mixes, and over-all sound knowledge. A great guy to work with, in a band or recording situation.
Great guy to work with. Has the chops, the gear, and the personality - making it fun & productive time spent, for quality product.
I recently had the pleasure of sending one of my tracks 'Lost at Sea' to Don. We'd never worked together before, so I was taking a bit of a gamble.
But my gamble really paid off. Don was a real pleasure to work with & delivered a mix that was bang on the money. He captured the exact feel I was looking for & a real pro sound.
Highly recommended.
Interview with TMR Productions
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My present studio is built around a dual DAW system using EMU-Ensoniq's PARIS - Frontier designs Dakota and a Lynx Two A for I/O and Reaper and Pro Tools 10 for mixing - editing - processing. Plugins include - Waves Gold bundle and other individual Waves plugs, 4 UAD cards fully loaded, the full suite of Slate Digital plugins as well as a host of tried and true third party plugins. Everything is monitored through a pair of NotePerfect Alpha Pro Mod near field monitors, a trusted Panasonic Ghetto Blaster as well as a pair of Grado RS-1 headphones.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am mixing different projects on a daily basis from Hip Hop to Country to Alt Rock.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started out my journey as a drummer in 1969, picking up my first kit at 12 and playing my first paid gig at 13. At 21 did my first session in a studio where I became fascinated by the whole recording process....Over the next 20 years I toured Canada a number of times as a drummer and FOH engineer for local touring bands as well as engineered, produced and /or played on several CDs....In 2010 I opened a small shop with a friend which unfortunately was prematurely closed down. Since then have I have been a free-lance recordist and mixer working with artists from Canada to Russia.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What Genre of music are you working on? What is the instrumentation and track count? Do you have any reference mixes of your song(s) or reference tracks by other artists that you're looking to emulate?
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Have you ever mixed my style of music? My reply is always the truth and if I haven't worked in their genre before, I have access to several AE friends that can point me in the right direction and/or assist me in achieving my clients goals. So far there have been no complaints.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That mixers can perform magic. There's a lot we can do but the bottom line is the closer you get to your musical goal in the actual recording process, the fewer the number of surprises come mix time.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Whenever possible take the time to record all your tracks properly and exactly how YOU want them to sound
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: As most of my work involves mixing - this includes track vetting and assembly, time editing, music editing, sample and / or instrument replacement / enhancing, 2 track mix widening, applying buss and track Level, EQ, Dynamics and FX and applying basic mastering to the finished mix when requested.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I have recorded or mixed just about every genre of music out there but I still love when a client brings me a song that's slightly outside of my comfort zone.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Communication...I listen to what my clients want and then do my best to translate that into a mix they are happy with.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both are valid formats (I started out on a 16 track Studer through a Neve console) but because of cost I have chosen to play in the digital world.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will do just about anything to make sure my clients walk away happy.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Full bodied and symmetrical.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Honest and timely communication is an essential and often overlooked factor in a successful project. Don't be afraid to ask questions and if you're not sure of something in the mix, point it out right away,
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Generally once I have the audio vetted, and placed them in one of my mix templates I check out the tracks for level and mono vs stereo requirements. Then depending on the song I will either start with the lead vocal track or the drums and begin setting the various instrument levels and panning and see how the mix sits. Once I'm comfortable with rough levels and pan I start to surgically attack individual instruments with EQ, Dynamic Processing and FX. From that point on it's a matter of accentuating the positive until I feel I have the song nailed down at which point I'll send the client this mix for critique. Then it's (hopefully) small tweaks to make a my client happy.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A great set of ears and the desire and where with all to translate a client's vision into reality
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Over and above the actual process of mixing, that moment when I get the first bit of feedback from the client on a mix, good or bad
