Daniela is an amazing producer! She was my first producer to work with when I first tried using SoundBetter and from beginning to end, she was thorough, professional, and respectful. I would recommend anyone that is scared to make the first step with producers to make it with her.

Daniela restored two tracks for me that we recorded by my late grandmother in the 40's. They were hard to hear, fuzzy, popping noises, and she restored them so much better than I thought possible! I can't wait to share these with my family!

Daniela is the best mixer I have ever worked with! She is very knowledgeable, determined, and confident in her work. Because I am a natural perfectionist…sometimes I could get really specific, Daniela stood by my mixing notes, giving me exactly what I wanted and more. I will definitely work with her again, you will not be disappointed!

worked with over 10 engineers and she's by far the best!
We have worked with Daniella several times now and could not be happier with our experiences. She is so talented, very fast and efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She is absolutely one of the very best we have worked with. As a bonus she is fun and easy to be around, which helps to make the long hours in the studio enjoyable.

I've learned a great deal from her already. She is very professional and fun to work with. There is no ego, or lack of communication!! I will use her again and again!!!
Daniela is the ultimate professional engineer! She pays attention to detail and isn't afraid to give productive suggestions.
Interview with dRIVmusic
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both, can't live without either!
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: What is the background and purpose for the song/Ep/Album and where do you envision it going?
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Linkin Park, Gwen Stafani, Pharrell ... just a big fan and love their styles and adaptability.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Separate the creative process from the technical process :)
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: A wide range of genres, but typically Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Urban, Indie, Soul, Electronic and Crossover.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Ability to listen with fresh and unbiased ears. Every song is different and requires a different approach.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Stargate, The Elev3n, Pharrell Williams, Manny Fresh, Alex Da Kid, Ariel Rechtshaid, The Invisible Men, Dr. Dre, Mike Del Rio, so many to list but those are a couple of my favs!
