Daniel and his team took songs that I was already proud of in the production stage and brought them to an entirely new level in the mix. He was fast, thorough, responsive, passionate, and brilliant, with an incredibly detailed ear that I would trust with literally any genre.
Hasta la próxima!

I have been through mixers for 15 years as a recording artist. I believe Daniel is the Mixer I've been looking for all these years. He completely exceeds expectations of multiple different levels. He understands my feedback on mix notes to a tee, and every mix comes out better than the last. His mixes AND masters are rich, full, clear, and sound just right. I had an extremely tight deadline for a TV submission and we went through multiple revisions of mixes and masters in 4-5 days!

One of the best mixers I've worked with in a while. Usually when I work with a mixer, I need to tell them how to get the beat to sound fuller and hit better. Daniel literally nailed it. Will continue to work together.

Daniel mastered two of my songs. He made the mix sound polished and clear without losing the fullness and warmth of the arrangements. Daniel was very attentive to my requirements. He delivered the masters on the appointed date and responded very quickly to my questions. If you want your project to sound professional, you should hire Daniel. I highly recommend him.
