    Daniela brought my track to life. Despite my having never worked with a professional mix/mastering engineer before, or indeed SoundBetter, the whole experience has been amazing. Daniela is super-communicative, has the patience of a saint, and really goes the extra mile to make sure the track is the best it can possibly be. Revisions were a breeze, and she took the time to explain everything and offer the best advice. I can’t wait to work with Daniela again!

    Daniela once again delivered very useful advices to improve the mix. Also, it's very much understandable for non-pro mixers. We will let Daniela review the whole album.

    Hired Daniela for the third time to do a soundcheck on my Mix and Master. Her input has been very valuable in improving my songs, and for me to grow and getting better as well. I highly recommend anyone working independently to bring Daniela on board for a soundcheck. Thanks, Daniela, for supporting my journey and helping my songs fly.

    Killer mix! Nobody else is even allowed to mix my songs and even went the extra mile and took the time to help me configure a better recording setup to make the songs better quality from top to bottom!
