- “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!”

- “Another successful mix and master by Micah! This track was more complex with many layers and a number of revision rounds. Micah was happy to comply with even the most knit-picky requests. The process was smooth and his turnaround prompt. I’m sure I’ll be back again soon.”
– Joel Stanton

- “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 did a great job maintaining the elements of the song while elevating them to a professional standard, and I’ll be very proud to release this song. He implemented my feedback well and led the technical aspects of mixing and mastering, resulting in a great track. I would gladly hire him again, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a professional-quality job completed in a timely manner.”
– Danny Backer
- “Micah is my go-to guy for mixing. He’s got the skills, the ear, and the gear to make many different genre’s sound their best! Plus, he’s super easy to work with and always ensures that I’m stoked on the project before calling it done. I highly recommend Micah for both mixing and mastering!”
