I came back to Norberto for the mixing and mastering of a song, this time as part of a rock band project, and I was once again very satisfied with the results. In spite of some limitations in our multitrack recordings, Norberto was able to do a great job and suggested a different angle for the mix that worked quite well. He made our track sound alive, crisp, and adequately loud without the limiting artifacts that are often found nowadays. You should seriously consider Norberto for your project!

It was a great pleasure working with Norberto to bring my recordings of an original acoustic song to fruition. He is very skilled and knowledgeable, works fast, and has great attention to detail. He did a fantastic job mastering the recordings and achieving the intended results based on my descriptions. I will certainly be coming back to him with other projects, and I strongly recommend you reach out to him to make your song(s) sound great too! (Eduardo L., Boston, USA)
