check_circleVerifiedWill came through to mix & master my debut single on a tight timeline. he finalized a product that the whole team (my co-writers, producers) were all happy with, and I will be sharing it soon with the world! As an artist, producer, and musician himself, he has an ear and value for a quality final product. He worked with my budget, and while he shared his consult along the way, also acknowledged that it was my song and I needed to be happy with it at the end! Excited to release this track.
check_circleVerifiedEverything was great! Exceeded my expectations and would definitely work with again.

A: Mickey Shiloh, she's a great artist and definitely down to help assist anyone when it comes to pushing your business forward.

A: Be specific, efficient, timely, and professional.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix mainly on Yamaha HS7 speakers paired with AKG K701 headphones for my Slate Digital VMS ML-1 microphone. I also like to get good reference mixes from my iLoud monitors with my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x monitoring headphones. There are guitars & basses ranging from Fenders to Taylors, a Marshall tube amp, multiple MIDI-keyboard brands from AKAI to Keystation, and finally for the purest sound possible - acoustic paneling, sound absorption blankets, & bass-traps lining the walls from Audimute.
