Endorse Gianluca Massimo4 Reviews

Gian is a mixing magician. He came on board as mix engineer for a feature-length score and did an incredible job of bringing the whole thing to life. He made short work of some tricky recordings - various baked in reverbs across live strings, orchestral samples, synths, vocals - bringing so much cohesion, energy and character to the stereo and surround mixes while being a reassuring presence throughout.
He's the exact kind of person you'd hope to work with - creative, attentive and very easy to communicate with. Was a true privilege to work with him!

Gianluca is a skilled and experienced engineer with a distinct personal sound and approach to his work .
In any of the multiple challenging environments Ive found myself in with Gianluca...his attention to detail, commitment, speed ,problem solving and understanding of what needed doing was invaluable and in some cases....session saving !He's respectful of the work and the process of the artist and is a pleasure to have in a studio as well as being a great technician.

Basically Gian is the person you want in the room with you on a project. Superb engineer and mixer with exceptional project management skills.
Every time I’ve worked with him he’s delivered to the highest standard! Professional, reliable and always a pleasure to have him on board!
I’ve come to rely on GL for my needs in orchestral recordings, band recordings and beyond.
GL’s possess a deep understanding of various recording techniques tailored to different instruments and genres. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best sound quality (at times under immense pressure) makes him a valuable asset in any recording settings.
Not only is GL is technically proficient, but he also has a keen artistic and musical sense, enabling him to create recordings that resonate emotionally with listeners.
