    Francois did another great job on three of my songs refining the mixes to get the best sound. Great turn around and high quality mixes and sound.

    Francois isn’t just a music mixer; he’s a wizard who’s seriously raised the bar for my tracks.
    This is my second time he comes to the rescue to elevate my songs!
    His dedication and patience with my endless edits have been nothing short of legendary.
    Shoutout to Francois for being an absolute champ and turning sound into gold!

    Do not book this person. He has no producing skills at all and his mixing sounds really bad. Obviously I'm joking! I just wished I could keep this as my little secret, but with over 300 5 star reviews I probably can't fool anybody. François is a real sound wizard, great producer and guitar player, seriously. I will trust him with all my future tracks without hesitation. Great communicator, on top of every modification you ask for and the end result is spot on! Highly recommended!

    Just gotta give a massive shoutout to my man Francois. This dude is a wizard behind the mixing board! Super quick on delivery and his mixes pure fire. He’s got creative touch that just elevates your tracks to another level.
    The best part? He was all about making sure you’re vibing with the final product. What I appreciated the most was how responsive he was. Whenever I had a suggestion or needed a tweak, Francois was all in. I’m definitely hitting up Francois for all my future mix needs!

    Francois has done an amazing job mixing and mastering one of my more involved songs . He has once again found the perfect balance with the instrumentation of the piece.

    What can I say, François is a magic maker. François is kind, patient and simply a joy to work with. François’ passion and enthusiasm are very motivating and I always love to work with him. François will help you hear your song in a way you couldn’t even imagine. François is a wild force of talent!

    Francois did another great job on a song for me. He locks into the feel and it doesn't take much back and forth to dial in the right sound. The quality and turnaround are great.

    François was brilliant from the beginning and we can't thank him enough for saving our songs with his highly-skilled mixing ability and finely tuned musical ear. He was extremely responsive to all our requests and always quick to reply. This is the start of an amazing collaboration and we look forward to working with him again soon. Tomorrow, in fact!
