    Dan did a great job mixing my pop EDM track! Everything was carved out to have their own lane despite the multiple chaotic synths and bass, helped me a ton with getting this across to the finish line. Thank you!

    Dan did an amazing job on the mix and master of my song. He understood the direction I was going for and really helped bring the track to life. He was easy to work with, took feedback well, and made the whole process simple. I’m really happy with how the final version turned out and would definitely recommend Dan to anyone looking for a great mix and mastering engineer.

    I provided Dan with a song I described to him as 'unmixable', yet Dan turned it around and provided yet another top-notch mix within the week. Dan always surpasses my expectations

    WOW!!! What an AMAZING experience!! Working with Dan was one of the absolute highlights of making my 10-song children's sunshine pop album. Every message from him made me smile, and every mix sounded SOOOOO good!! I found myself doing happy dances around the house every time he sent a new mix! He truly made my music dreams come true. Dan is incredibly talented, an exceptional communicator, genuinely enthusiastic, and an absolute joy to work with. THANK YOU, Dan!! 🌞🎶

    I had a great experience working with Dan. He was always easy to message and quick to respond, even though we live in completely different time zones. As someone who's completely new to this, I found him incredibly helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.

    Dan was very open with his advice and took the time to answer my questions and explain things clearly. I learned a lot from him throughout the process and felt much more confident because of his guidance I would highly recommend Dan
    ROCK ON!
