I am just SO happy with this mix/master! It was an easy process working with Dargz and the track has been completely elevated. Hoping to work with him on my future releases now too.

I had David master a live recording for me and it turned out great. Competitively loud without distorting the mix or hitting the limiter too hard. Super quick turnaround time as well. Highly recommend!

David is a highly skilled professional & creative mixing engineer. David was patient & understanding with my communication, accurately tailoring each mix review to the feedback. David delivered a high quality mix & master (crisp and wide yet thick & bass driven), that feels radio ready! Thank you for your amazing work.

David is very skilled and he really transformed the mix. The most notable improvement I'd say which the track needed when I sent it over was with the drums and bass. It sounds very punchy and alive now, exactly what this particular track required. Patient and worked through all the feedback I gave, thanks again!

I'm a return client. David did a great job with a mixing gig, so I asked him to master some15 year old tracks in a quite different style. for re-release and he got it in one.
