    Ariel always has and continues to be a wizard at transforming a song production into an incredible professional mixed and mastered sound with his technical expertise and his feel for the language and emotion of music, no matter how big the song production or number of tracks involved! It's icing on the cake that he brings a fantastic sense of culture to the communication and work process!

    Ariel just helped me master one more song - the sound was taken to another level, I mean the top one. I have no idea how he does this magic, but the difference speaks for itself.

    Working with Ariel was an absolute pleasure. I brought him an already existing project, and he took it to the next level with his mixing and mastering skills. He managed to polish the track, balance everything perfectly, and bring out the best in every detail of the sound. The quality was improved — clear, powerful, and professional. He truly maximized the potential of the song. Couldn’t recommend him more for anyone who wants their songs to sound top-tier.
