Loved working with Nicolas, he brought the openness and punch that I was looking for in our mix. He was easy to work with and super quick with revisions + stems. We came by the his studio for final notes which was a great help.

Nico is the best! Super professional, quick, and attentive. Delivered an amazing master. Highly recommended.

Nico is such a Professional! He completely understood exactly what needed to be achieved with my track, was very easy to work with and took any feedback I had on board to help produce my vision!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! Every single time! Thank you :)

Has exactly the right attitude that you would want in a mixing engineer. Asked him to make my song better and he did just that. Best engineer I’ve worked with!

Super fast and easy to work with!

And the quality of the mix is just amazing, I'm so happy and keep coming back for more songs!Thanks so much Nico!!!

I worked with Nicolas on a ballad. He gave the mix a warm colour and a nice dynamic. He fully understand the concept of the tune give it a special shine. Highly recommended!

Nicolas is a great mixer! He took what was a very bright and thin sounding rough mix and warmed it up and sprinkled some pixie dust on it to give me the perfect mix for my Christmas Single. He’s also very easy to work with and a really cool guy! I highly recommend him and will be working on more songs with him soon.

Another project with Nicolas. He is not only a great mixing & mastering engineer. He also develops ideas to improve the song and can think well into the project!! Best to work with!!

Nico is an amazing engineer, and I am thrilled with the mixing and mastering he did on my song. He is a very attentive and dedicated person to work with, and he gives excellent feedback, which makes the work flow smooth. Great communication throughout the process, quick turnaround, and a result of the highest quality.
I really enjoyed working with Nico and I give him my highest recommendations. Would love working with him again.

With his mix & mastering Nicolas implement exactly the musical concept of my songs. It is the best to work with! Highly recommended!

We asked Nico to produce master track for our song that he mixed and he did not disappoint. Typical Nico, quick turnaround, excellent communication, great results!

It is very easy to work with Nicolas. He is a very creative mixing engineer. I will definitely work with him again.

Nico is extremely talented mixing engineer. He listened very carefully to the song and produced amazing mix out of eighteen tracks mostly recorded in home studio. He basically nailed the mix from the first take. We are extremely pleased with the mix, it sounds phenomenal! On top of that it was such a pleasure to work with Nico! Highly recommended!

Fantastic mix again! ... and a great patience for all my requests. Looking forward to mixing my next song with Nico.

It is fantastic to work with Nico!! He has a fine sense for the song, the vibe, for the mood...and his mix is brilliant!!

Absolutely recommend! Nicolas is so talented he is able to turn over a project within minutes!!! He understands very quickly and clearly what we want. Love working with him!

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! The best on soundbetter! I highly recommend Nicolas, he is quick, professional and also understands exactly what you want!!!

Nicolas is a real prof. He mixed and mastered a song with a lot of acoustic instruments and a special mood. The result was impressive. Highly recommended!

Fast turn around time, great quality, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend him!

Nicolas is great to work with. Fast, great mix, and easy to communicate with. I'm more than happy about the process and end product!

Nico is brilliant at coaxing the best out of my tracks. We've now completed 6 tracks together - which he's mixed and mastered, and I'm consistently impressed with the finish, as well as his patience, advice and good will. Thoroughly recommended ...without doubt! Thanks Nico :-)

NICO IS AWESOME TO WORK WITH, VERY DIRECT, EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH. BRINGS SUPERB IDEAS TO THE TABLE AND ULTIMATELY DELIVERS EXCELLENT RESULTS!

So shared a mix and suggested that I'd love to hear it in a direction that has that Pop sheen and ooomph and all that good stuff. Nicolas nailed it... He did an incredible job, and both was very patient and helpful with the questions and requests I had.. He pretty much had nailed it on the first pass, and any tiny revisions were just icing on the cake...

Nico is an outstanding mixing engineer. I had a pleasure of mixing a relatively complex song and he really impressed me with his ability to hear the mix holistically. He also helped with adding bits of post production effects which gave a song a really nice touch. On top of that he is a great guy and easy to get along with, timely responds to messages and really works hard to satisfy the musicians he's working with.

Nico was an absolute pleasure to work with!
Basically got it to the sound I had envisioned 1st time round!
He was patient, professional and open to any subtle changes I had for my track!
Completely Nailed it, Thank You Nicolas!

Great guy. Easy to work with and give feedback. Very responsive and willing to work with you. Not to mention the fact that the final product sounded fantastic. A true professional. Final delivery was early, and he sent many versions throughout the process so we could give feedback far before time started to become an issue. Great guy who did a great job. I highly recommend him! I'll definitely be coming back for more. Nicolas is great.

It was such a pleasure working with Nicolas! He will definitely be our go to guy for future projects.

Nico was so amazing to work with. He listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed every aspect of the mix. He was super patient with any changes that needed to be made. His communication was A1 and he has a sense of humour which is always great :) Top quality mix! Thank you Nico - I can't wait to work with you again.

Nico has incredible mixing capabilities.. I feel fortunate to work with such an talented and professional mixing engineer

Nicolas did a great job on the mix and master of my debut single. He worked quickly and did all notes and corrections exactly as asked. He also has very good communication. I will definitely be using his services again, and I would recommend him to any artist.

Just as last time - amazing yet again! It's just so easy, professional, friendly and fun to work with Nico! I got a perfect mix, super quickly and with such great vibes :) will come back for sure!

Really enjoyed working with Nico. He was happy to incorporate some feedback I had on the first pass of the master he did for me, and absolutely nailed it with the final version. The sound was precisely what I was looking for. And a very nice fellow to boot! Will certainly work with him again on my next song.

Great mix! Next level. Great with communication and very receptive. Would definitely come back to Nico with more work.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! He is so quick and responsive! He gets immediately what needs to be done, and does it perfectly. I would recommend him hands down.

Nico is great to work with and even more talented. Quick turnaround, responsive, and reliable. (An anmoly to this industry haha) Even local engineers I’ve showed his mix to have said that it was top quality. I’m definitely sending more work his way! A good mix/master can make all the difference and Nicos work is nothing short of the industry standard.

Nico did stem mixing/mastering for 3 of my songs. Result is fantastic! Exactly what I wanted as sound. Looking forward to working with him again in the future :)

Nicolas is a very professional, positive and patient individual. I came to him with a project and helped me try to achieve what I wanted out of it.
Thanks !

Nico is a great guy.. Love working with him!

Nicolas has been great to work with. He's a very talented mastering engineer for sure. He was very quick but no quick as to be in a hurry. He worked with me back and forth on a mix for the last several days in order for it to sound exactly like I wanted it. He is worth his asking price.

Nicolas is a very talented producer! He's been very patient and invested in our project, and working with him was a great experience! We strongly recommend his services and we will definitely ask for his help again in the future.

Incredible work, easy to communicate with and super friendly! Would certainly recommend and work with Nicolas in the future. 💙 THANK YOU

See previous review. Nicolas is incredible at what he does.

Nicolas did an amazing job bringing this song to life. His ear, his vision, his creativity and skill are exceptional. Definitely at the top of his game.

INCREDIBLE! The mixing quality and creativity were exactly what I was wishing for, and I didn't need to say much - it was just spot on from the start. And the few requests that I did ask for were done perfectly and quickly. The communication was fluent and pleasant too! I'll be back soon for sure :)

Nico is incredible! Love working with him.

Nicolas is a talented mixing and mastering engineer with a very creative ear. It is a privilege to work with him

Nicolas is the best!! You'll be impressed, he goes above and beyond for his clients

Nico has just finished mixing/mastering the third track for me, and, as always, his results are EXCELLENT. He has a great musical ear (well, two actually), patience and solid experience. Je suis très heureux :-)

Nico is wonderful to work with. Incredibly talented. He brings the best out of songs!

Amazing work. Nicolas is truly amazing at what he does and delivers quality engineering.

Nicolas has excellent talent, with matching work ethic and attitude. Highly recommended collaborator with a creative ear for quality sound.

Nico is patient, kind, and talented.. Mix sounds incredible.. Couldn't ask for a better engineer!

Simply put, Nico is an phenomenal sound engineer. His mixes are incredible and he's great to work with!

I was having a hard time trying to mix my own song. I’ve got a lot of experience working in ProTools but there were too many tracks. I went to SoundBetter, saw Nicolas’ profile & checked out his examples. They were full & evenly balanced, modern, & everything had its place. That’s what I wanted & that’s what he gave me. He was very professional throughout the process, creative. He was available & eager to discuss the mix at each stage, & we got along great. Nicolas did an amazing job.

It was a great pleasure to work with Nicolas: a good ear, patient, fast and a great rendering.
I recommend a lot! ;)

Such an amazing experience working with him. He not only produced excellent work, but was extremely patient with this whole process. He is quick, responsive and amazing at mixing and mastering. Please work with him! You wont regret it!

Nico has the mixing and mastering process down to an art. His credits speak for themselves. His ear is incredible. Has a highly developed sound, and never overdone. Super professional and unbelievably talented. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Nico is a true professional who does outstanding work!

Another awesome experience with Nicolas. He is super-responsive and professional, and the quality of his work is exceptional.
Nicolas is great at listening to my comments and then working with me throughout the process to achieve the desired result.
I highly recommend him!

second song with Nicolas and he did not disappoint us. very satisfied with his work, very attentive to instructions, great communicator, and an amazing mixing and mastering. I recommend his services to every artist out there. Nico is the one. :)

I can't find enough words to recommend Nicolas to you guys. We worked with him for a second mix of our album after we weren't satisfied at all by the previous work from the resident engineer where we recorded. We worked on editing, mix, creative solutions together, with lots of revisions and he patiently managed the musician perfectionism and actively helped and "rescued" some channel whose quality wasn't that good. We were so satisfied that we then asked him also to master our album.6/5 stars=)

Great communication and quick service. And of course a great mixing engineer! I highly recommend Nico!

Very thoughtful and considerate

Nicolas made our song sound clean, big, and professional. Great and fast communication. 100% I recommend Nicolas. He is the one for mixing and mastering.

great job again thanks

Great job! A real pleasure to work with.

It's always awesome working with Nicolas. He is super in tune with the direction of the project and is always very detail oriented. The projects are always finished ASAP but never skimping on quality! Highly recommend him to anyone seeking a great mix/master

Nicolas is amazing. Great work as always!

Fantastic mix!

Excellent, our go to for our music projects for TV, He gets it. Thanks for great job!

Easy to work with. Great mixes!

Nicolas is a very handy and skilled sound engineer, I can give him nothing less than 5/5

Can't recommend him enough! super talented, friendly, and it was a breeze working with Nicolas!

really took my songs to the next level!!! I didn't dream of them sounding so good :) thanks again for an amazing job!

incredible mix and mastering engineer, really professional and was very patient with me and all my revision requests! can't recommend enough!!!

Nicolas is seriously great. Technically, his mixes are so tight, smart, refined, and pro. Creatively, he knows how to perfectly turn an idea into reality, getting just the sound I was aiming for. And professionally, he's super patient. My schedule caused me to be less responsive than I usually am, but he was always cool, understanding, and uber fast with turning stuff around. Highly recommend.

Nicolas rocks! This guy made my song sound big, warm, and radio ready! He is the real deal. No need to go anywhere else. Will hire him to produce my next EP! A++

Nicolas was so awesome to work with. He really understood my vision and helped me refine and embellish my original song with such ease and professionalism. I highly suggest his mixing and mastering skills to anyone seeking an excellent finished project!

Nicholas is one of the beat we have worked with. His attention to detail and passion for making things sound the absolute best they could- lets just say it doesnt happen very much anymore in this business. Nicholas understands subtlety within pitching and mixing vocals is superb.
Nicolas is someone who will put as much effort in assisting your project as you did making it from the ground up.
We are definitely going to work with him again, and can not wait till that moment!

Excellent mixes. Great to work with!

Awesome to work with pure professional and also keeps working till your happy. Already planning next job!

Nicolas was fantastic to work with! His work speaks for itself but even outside of that he's quick, flexible and super nice.

Nicolas did a piece of a job for me and all I can say is that he is very professional. Would surely work with him again.

Nicolas is a world class mixer. He is professional and has a great ear. I love what he did with my song. He took the time to listen and actualize my vision for the song. I will definitely be working with him on songs to come!

Nico is a joy to work with. Took my original production vision and stayed true. Great instincts at prioritizing and simplifying when it comes to mixing in order to get a track sounding big yet retain clarity. Would happily recommend him / work again.

I have had the privilege of working with Nico many times. He is one of the best in the business and has worked with the best in the business. Whether its mixing, engineering, editing or production, Nico is the ideal person for the job. He's got a great ear and is very attentive to details. I try to work with him as much as possible.

Nico did an outstanding job recording and mixing the scores for our four short documentary-commercials.
