Reviews

• “Once again, working with Micah was a great experience! He was always very responsive, took all my ideas & thoughts into account, and helped me finish an EP that I’m super excited about. This was the most songs we’ve worked on together at once, and through the process I feel like I got a better understanding of his perspective as an engineer. He brings a super dope sound palette to the table, and brings out the emotion in all the right ways!”  – Amal B (mal sounds)
  
• “Micah took our DIY home recordings and turned them into something that sounded like a professional studio recording. He responds quickly, gives great input, has fair rates, and we could not be happier with the music.” – Flora Flora
• “Micah made the mixing process for our multi-track project efficient and rewarding. He helped us realize the sound palette we hoped to achieve and provided a number of thoughtful suggestions during the process. His revision time is generous and we relied on it less and less as he came to understand our style. Highly recommend Micah for both mixing and mastering.” – Colin H (Lama Bamba)
• “Micah was great to work with. Super well-equipped, very thorough in his pre-mix questions and very willing to make changes to the song if I was unhappy with anything. He has a very keen sense of implementing feedback as well, and knowing what you mean when you describe a different sound you’re going for!” – Ethan S
• “Micah was very responsive and communicative, and I walked away with a great mix! Colorful, spatial & fat like described. I sometimes worry about working remotely with engineers, but it was clear that Micah pays attention to the nuances of a song and really brings out the best parts. I’m glad that we got to work on this!” – Amal B (mal sounds)

Also very sharp on knowing how to best achieve an effect when it’s difficult to describe. Couldn’t recommend him enough!” – Colin H (Lama Bamba)

• “This is my first Sound Better mixing job and Micah exceeded expectations. I provided stems and a couple influences for reference, along with my rough mix. Micah’s ear for detail is exceptional. He took a busy song and gave every track it’s own home, skimming off the fat so the heart of the song shines. Here’s a professional mixer without the “look at my famous credits” price markup.” – Joel Stanton

• “Micah was really great. Very responsive and on top of everything. Provided a really good mix and followed the feedback exactly as requested. Would definitely recommend.” – Zak W
• “Micah is awesome! In addition to doing a stellar job of mixing and mastering (which he kills btw!) he’s also full of knowledge and creative ideas when asked for them. He mixed and mastered a recent track of mine; brought it from dry and flat to big, warm, and full. Also he was very communicative and took the time to understand what I was aiming for with the final product. I highly recommend Micah if you’re looking for fast, reliable, and highly professional sounding mixes!” – Levi Downey
• “I hit Micah up for mastering on my new single (an indie pop / synth style track). The results were impressive. He breathed life in to the duller parts of my mix using an artist of my choosing for reference. That extra magic has my song sounding much more professional with stronger low end, cleaner mids, and crisp highs. Can’t go wrong with his rates and quick turnaround!” – Joel Stanton
• “I asked Micah to mix a single for my band. He was a perfect combination of transparency and accentuating what he appreciated about the track. Having sung my own vocals, I used to get that “Cringe” feeling when listening back. After Micah mixed them, I now enjoy listening to my own voice a lot on this song!” – Erik B (Suites)
