Endorse Adrià Navarro
Adrià has mixed one of my songs and I must say that he is an excellent professional.
Get a very good sound.
Communication and speed of delivery are unbeatable.
100% recommended!!
Adrià mixed my song "Sneaky Motherfucker" to my great satisfaction. He was quick and accomodating to the only minor revision needed. Biggest star in my book goes to his balanced personal/professional communication.
Adrià mixed and mastered half of my podcast's season this year. The difference between the once I mixed for myself and the ones he did is amazing. Communication with him is fun and easy; he's a really cool guy to work with. He has the right approach and all the needed know-how. Next season will be mixed by him. No doubts about it.
Adrià mixed our album and both managed to capture the spirit of our songs and make of them sound amazing, always respecting our ideas but also adding interesting concepts that made the final outcome just perfect. Working with him was a true pleasure and we will definitely will work with him again as soon as we record more stuff.
