    As always, Dan is the number 1 choice for all my mixing and mastering needs. So far he has mixed and mastered 3 tracks of mine, all from varying amount of stems and sounds, and he has done such a fantastic job with all of them. My tracks were all in teh style of electronic pop dance music and wow, he just brings them to life. Thankyou Dan for everything.

    It is always a pleasure to work with Dan. He is incredibly kind, professional and returns high quality work each and every time. His turnaround time is breathtaking. He was able to work with my two pieces adeptly and is my one stop for all mixing and mastering needs. You won't be disappointed.

    On the one hand, I'm tempted to do all I can to thwart everyone else from using Dan's excellent services so he'll have more time to devote to my projects. On the other, he's absolutely phenomenal to work with and greatly elevated my project well above and beyond what I was expecting. The experience could not have been better. Truly a master at what he does, and I would absolutely recommend him.

    Dan and Chris have done an amazing job on this song that took me almost 13 years to finish. A song a couple of others have failed at as they couldn't seem to understand my needs.... The guitars and Dan's drums blend perfetcly with the piano I spent too long writing and rewriting.

    NOTHING was too much effort for these guys and they implemented all of the changes I asked for with utmost professionalism and at no extra cost.
