It was my first song and I was insecure about how will the project move on. It took us a month to work on my song because we were having missing tracks and few difficulties. But this whole month Gerard been patient and kind to me. He said "I will work until your happy", and he stood up as man of his word. He edited my track more than 5 times until I felt good. And yes his work amazed and gave confidence to me. Had an excellent experience, and will surely come for another one. Thanks Gerard.

Look no further. Gerard's mixes allow the high end frequencies like vocals to cut through even busy tracks, and still allow room for all the low end thump and bass you are looking for. Every track sits nicely in the mix. Excellent mixes and completely a pro!

I am so glad that I chose Gerard to do my mixing and mastering. He is very professional , timely, and he did a FANTASTIC JOB! I will forever be a customer. Thanks Gerard! YOU ROCK!!

How do I start? too good to believe. This is an industry engineer. I used cheap low quality sounds in my beat cause i don't have the good quality ones in my DAW and my microphone is not the best but this guy made it sound like something recorded in a real expensive professional studio. Easy Communication, willing to do what you exactly ask for

Gerald is excellent in every sense of the word! His communication is great, at no point of the process did I ever feel left out. He arranged my song in a way that I never would have thought...then he put an awesome mix and master on it. He definitely went above and beyond for me and I know he will do the same for you as well!

Nice fast service.

Revision after revision was met with accuracy to provide me with absolute content.
At no time I felt like all was lost in communication, even though I was not physically present to stop and point out. Gerard patiently adjusted tuned and perfected.

I recently worked with Gerard on a independent film project. He mixed the music, dialog, and did sound design. It came out wonderful. The producer and director were very happy with his work. We will be using him again.

Honestly, Gerard has created some the best and most colorful and well-balanced mixes I've heard over my career in the music industry. He's an experienced Engineer with an ear for what's going to be hot. Timely and detail oriented, his work is top notch. I highly recommend him.

Gerard is a great producer and engineer. I have known him for about 12 years. His mixing is excellent, and his mastering is great. He has done both mixing and mastering jobs for me. It doesn't matter the kind or style of music you give him it always come out great.

I have worked with Gerard on several projects in the past few years. He always brings his A game no matter how large or small the budget. 1st class engineer and producer.

Gerard did an excellent job on my project.
The mixes were perfect. He went out of his way to make sure I got what I wanted.
