    Aside from delivering incredible mixes that were simultaneously creative and loyal to the tone of the songs we wrote, Maurizio was a joy to work with. He is passionate about what he does always has a plethora of ideas. He has a great ear, and is also fantastic for technical work. Excellent gear. He made our songs sound amazing.
