Another great job with this guy! He made an amazing work with the vocals so now they sounds exactly as I wanted them.
I couldnt ask for more regarding the mix and the master.
So of course I hired him for more work!
Highly recomendable!! - check_circleVerified
Hired D for mixing and mastering...and he delivered an amazing product. I really couldn't ask for more. Super high quality mixing, great communication and delivered within schedule.
So grateful that I found him here on SoundBetter. I already hired him for more mixing and mastering.
10 out of 10...no doubt! 
check_circleVerifiedDavid went above and beyond expectations as a mixing & mastering engineer. I'm somewhat inexperienced with the process, but David's professionalism & incredible communication made this not an issue. Most importantly, the final mix & master sounds fantastic. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I'd recommend David!

Excellent work from David on my vocals! He made a rather poor recording sound great! Fast delivery, great communication and high quality!
Highly recommended! 
check_circleVerifiedEverything went super smooth with David. Always available to answer questions and always doing his best. He took my song to a new level and made the mix and master sound more clean and fresh, just like I wanted. I am going to send David another song for mastering soon and I would recommend him to anyone who looks for a professional and high quality producer like him!

David is absolutely next level at quantizing a vocal. I gave him a very complex project that was completely out of time and he made it work. True pro.
check_circleVerifiedDavid is a pleasure to work with. Quick, efficient and really professional.
He did what I asked and added his own pleasure to it, and made me like my song again!- check_circleVerified

He design my voice as i want.I highly recommend him :-)
Interview with David Pietras
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I work mostly with Pop music.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do mostly production work for other artists and songwriters. Full production, mixing and sometimes mastering too.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm working with a lot of upcoming and already established artists in Sweden. Working on an EP for a Sony Music artist, it's going to be amazing! Also working on some singles for other Sony artists at the moment.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid to ask, I'm always flexible so I can get you exactly what you want.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both are important. You need to understand analog to be able to get the best out of digital. I always have analog synths or weird recordings from my portable recorder in my productions.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'm always doing my best and I always deliver more than expected.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Every day is different and I get new contacts and experiences all the time. And I get to do what I love the most!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been doing music my whole life. Started out with classical music and the worked with house music for 8 years. Artists and labels that I've worked with in house music are Steve Angello/ Axwell (Swedish House Mafia), Nicky Romero. Last year I've been studying music in Stockholm, Sweden (Advanced Music Production & Songwriting) for Pop music. And right now I have several productions and songs for upcoming Swedish artists (working with Sony, Universal, The Kennel and more) that are about to release later this year. My goal is to make as much great music as I can, for the rest of my life.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: My favorite production tip is less is more. Try to have as few elements as possible but working with the individuals sounds instead. You can get more creative productions that way because you limit yourself and you need to come up with creative ways of making the few sounds cool.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Apollo Twin, Novation Peak, SE-02, Genelec, Fender Telecaster, Portable recorder
