Mixing , Mastering, Production

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

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!

We are 100% happy with the final result and hope to work with him again in the future!

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 was an incredible pleasure to work with. He truly is a remarkable mixing and mastering engineer. The first pass he gave me absolutely exceeded what I'd hoped for, and the very few notes I had, he executed them perfectly and quickly too. He's a definite pro!

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. His attention to detail and willingness to perfect his work is truly something that is difficult to find in the industry. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a highly-skilled, highly-talented, and truly excellent audio engineer.

It was a pleasure working with Nicolas on my production. He did an amazing job mixing and mastering. He knew exactly what i wanted.
