Again, great experience with Vince! He quickly provided a very solid mix for one faster metal song that had many things going on.

Always great working with Vince. He always quickly comes up with a great mix and this time we just had single iteration round until we had a badass mix for a song that mixes classic metal with symphonic elements.

A master of all things music and one of my favorite people to work with. Always a pro, and always great times with Vince. If you want to hire somebody who is the Swiss army knife of music then Vince is the one! Excellent work!

Again, great work by Vince! This was an odd "almost metal" song with all kinds of instruments (and many mixing opinons from my side) and Vince took it to the finish line very quickly and patiently!

Great work as usual. This time Vince helped me fix some of our songs with new guitar tracks + mixing :)

Vince did a great job again with mixing and mastering our song. I was originally a bit concerned about this song as I was hoping to get a very specific sound/vibe for this song, but it turned out better than I hoped after a couple of iterations.

It was very easy to work with Vince again. He is very responsive and attentive to detail. I really value that he is doing his best to meet my requirements that are sometimes very detailed - and also provide helpful proposals for improvements as required

Vince did mixing and mastering for our entire album and he did a fantastic job. He was very responsive and really tried his best meeting the client requirements. I really appreciated that he always followed through even with the smallest of my detailed requests and never shied away from addressing issues in the mix. He also improved the sound design with some of his VSTs to replace some of my less-than-ideal MIDI sounds per my request. Great person to work with.

It is a real pleasure to work with Vince. He is a great mixing engineer who is very detailed in his mixes and he has perfected his craft so he can be both detailed and fast at the same time. Communication with Vince has been super-easy. He "gets it" even when I am asking for some changes that are not very easy to explain. True pro.

Vincenzo is the man! The kind of honest perfectionist you can easily love & respect for his standards. I wish all artists were more like him. Bravo Vincenzo!
