Dave Way on SoundBetter

4x Grammy winner Dave Way has dozens of multi platinum credits and hits: MJ, Fiona Apple, Pink, Phoebe Bridgers, Weird Al, Ziggy Marley, Kesha, Paul McCartney, Foo Fighters, Jakob Dylan, Christina Aguilera, Prince, TLC, Spice Girls, Guy, and MANY more. “My broad experience and love of music helps me bring out what is unique in each project.”

I’ve mixed a lot of records over the years, with a lot of success. My state of the art Dolby ATMOS equipped studio enables me to do pretty much everything from soup to nuts and I have long time relationships with the finest musicians in L.A.

I’m fortunate to have had success in most every style: Pop, rock, hip hop, Americana, Soul, Singer/songwriter, Jazz, Film scores, television. I particularly specialize in pop music but I do enjoy projects that are unusual and unique.

The price quotes are just a ballpark but since I’m
new to SoundBetter, I’m hoping a discount rate will get the ball rolling and connect me with people looking to work with a pro. Once I know more specifics about your project, we can hopefully find a suitable rate.

    Great, thoughtful advice on how the track could be improved! Really appreciate the ear and advice from an expert. He gave tangible things that could be improved, and I'll be looking to incorporate Dave's thoughts not only in this song, but future work going forward.

    It's a pleasure working with Dave second time around. I find his suggestions very valuable. and have implemented most of them. He also does not impose his personal tastes on you but rather makes suggestions in a kind way. He's respectful of someone else's work. I appreciate him for that.

    I appreciate the observations and time taken by Dave to review the piece I sent sent. I'll take into consideration suggestions as I find the noteworthy. I cannot say how the song will fair with the suggestions since SoundBetter response is time sensitive. But, overall Dave made some suggestions that could be workable.

    3rd song with Dave. Gives me great confidence knowing I've got him to help me in the final stages. Not just with the mixing, but with the song in general. We raised the bar with this last one.
    Thx Dave!

    I went with Dave because I wanted to work with someone at the top of the industry who I could rely upon. My track now sounds significantly better from my rough mix, and he was able to guide me with his years of experience and good taste. I am happy with my final product. Dave answered all my questions up front to help put me at ease making the investment. Good communication and reasonable turnaround times. Lots of details in his mix which help bring it to life. Good work, Dave!

    Working with Dave was a blast! He's like the final form of Luke Skywalker from Episode 8. A true master of his domain with infinite wisdom to execute your vision. I could achieve objective production alternatives because of his sharp insight behind the boards. If you're hands-on like me, working online could be a bit of a challenging process to create. However, with Dave, the process was manageable and engaging. I was able to learn and experience a genuine connection from a Jedi.

    Priceless.

    Mixing my Rock and Roll song Dave Way did not settle for anything less than perfection.
    He was able to find immediate solutions for the things I brought up and he also kindly offered to update some parts with his tasty own twist.
    The clarity from the mix is amazing and the master was excellent right away with no revisions needed!
    Working with Dave Way was a great journey, he really delivered with his mixing and mastering and made this title something very special !!!

    I put words to music. That’s pretty much the gist of it. So whenever I get creative input on what can actually make my music better, along with the mixing, I’m very happy. Dave did this on our first track, with great results. I’m looking forward to sending more work, and seeing what he comes up with. Highly appreciated Dave.

    Dave was really great to work with! This was a pretty involved project with (10) songs that I think were pretty hard to mix. Dave did a really great job not only mixing the tracks in a way that made them sound fuller, more professional, and more focused, but also would offer ideas or sounds that really made the songs better.

    Turnaround times were fast, but not at the expense of quality, and it was easy to go back and forth asynchronously. Would def work with Dave again and highly recommend.
