check_circleVerifiedExcellent to work with, brought new ideas to the table. Totally surprised us with some horns and kicked our butts into a new idea and direction that helped to unstuck a track that we were struggling with.
check_circleVerifiedThanks Ontologist!! Did an amazing job for all of my tracks, also enjoyed so much the streamlined process he provided.
Immersed himself into each of the tracks and noticed the high fidelity embellishment to every detail!
Communication was great, clear and to the point. He explained everything he did and why he did it, but always with a lot of respect for the song and for the artist's composition style.
Super professional and friendly.
Working with him again soon!!Kidsol
