    Ariel has mixed and mastered several of my tracks now and I keep coming back to work with Ariel because he does an incredible job. His attention to detail and inventiveness really takes the songs to another level and brings them alive. And as a person he’s just really encouraging and patient—he’s worked with me until the final product is how I envisioned it or even better. I would definitely recommend working with Ariel!
