Killer sound, great communication and fast workflow
I've been mixing and mastering for years in different styles including Pop, Indie Rock, Folk, EDM, Electronic, Hip Hop, Soundtracks, etc. I love to put EXTRA ATTENTION TO DETAIL, to make every sound have the perfect character and space in the mix to make your song stand out.
I like to have conversations with the artists so i can fully understand they're vision and get the result they want.
