    I’ve worked with several mix engineers over the last while, and honestly, Dan is one of the most open, easy to communicate with and just generally awesome people you can work with. His mixes on my two tracks (more to come!) have been amazing. Hire him!

    Only great things to say.

    Dan is easy to work with, versatile, adept at picking up on direction/intent, and quick to make strong recommendations.

    I would gladly work with Dan again (and plan to).

    Dan is great, highly recommend. He nailed the drums on an experimental pop song and indie rocker I wrote and produced. Timely, great tones and easy to work with.

    Working with Dan was an absolute pleasure! He was incredibly professional, kind, and brought an amazing artistic touch to the production of my song. His ability to understand my vision and elevate it with his creativity made the process seamless and exciting. Dan is not only talented but also very communicative, ensuring we stayed on the same page every step of the way. On top of that, he works quickly without compromising quality. I highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a producer!

    Nashville is filled with really good musicians. Duh! If you want to work with musicians who are so much better than “really good,” then choose Dan and his team who created an extraordinary music production for my song. He added top of the line session musicians to the production mix. This was way above my expectations. I’ve never been disappointed with SoundBetter.com. Dan is at the top of my list. Thank you for taking care of all of the important details. It supercharged my song!
