    Working with Dave was an incredible experience. He took all of the feedback that I gave him and turned my track into something I was proud of. Dave is an expert in his craft and I plan to come back to him for all of my future releases.

    Dave was exceptional throughout the whole project and really helped me create the unique sound that I wanted. Definitely going to work on more projects with him.

    Dave is a great engineer with superb taste. Only took a handful of revisions, and minimal ones at that, to get to the perfect mix. I highly recommend working with him.

    Dave was the ideal engineer to work with. He totally elevated the track & made it sound better than I was expecting. He took the time to do more than just get solid levels. He was very communicative & completed the project quickly. The quality of his work is really impressive. Y'all should hire Dave.

    I worked with Dave on a nearly-finished electronic project going out through Universal/Virgin. The tracks were close but lacked the final polish of a radio record & our low end and vocals needed work. Dave was very patient and helped lay out different styles of bass & how to achieve them- he is a very good visual explainer. He is patient, kind & uniquely skilled to execute a polished sound

    Dave is way too underrated as a mixer/recording engineer, he is one of the best in NYC. He has been THE ENGINEER for all the top artists in the recent years, just look at his credit! He recorded and mixed a track that I produced for Desiigner, he took it to a whole new level, still couldn't figure out what he did! On top of that, he is one of the nicest dude to work with.

    Dave mixed my first record via email. I tried several other great mixing engineers, as well as myself, before him, but the balance and breath on his mixes were so refreshing and skillful. Later, I was fortunate enough to work with Dave in the studio. He can transform songs and turn them into true records very quickly. He has an ear for quality that is unmatched by anyone I've ever worked with.

    Dave's impressive credit list is a natural result of his unparalleled skill, talent, hard work, and professionalism. I've also found he has a very unique skill - he combines a highly technical perspective with the most simple, audience-oriented ear, and navigates the two effortlessly. It makes working with him a highly personal & rewarding experience, and one that yields amazing sonic results.

    On paper Dave Rowland is an amazingly accomplished mixing and vocal engineer. In practice he is much more than that. Dave has helped me with several records in different stages of completion and I am yet to find the boundaries of his talent and experience. He has great intuition and know-how when it comes to production, song-writing and beyond--he truly runs the whole gamut. Easy-going great guy.
