I have been in collaboration with Baran since the day we met (7 years) - both on stage and in the studio; and can safely say that he will excel at any task within a live, recording or mixing environment. He has mixed my album and various singles to their fullest potential, and I have seen him perform to the same standard in many other projects in countless recording scenarios and various styles and live shows including several massive festivals under pressure. He has fantastic ears for mixing and a great understanding of arrangement. Can mix perfectly in the box and work wonders in the studio!
