Had a great time mixing our album with Raz, we got a loud , open mixes, just like we wanted.
Raz made us all the revisions we wanted, no questions asked.
Also he was one of the cheaper engineers we quoted, hopefully he won't raise his prices any time soon

If you worked with music producers in the past, you'll understand why Raz offers so much more than other music producers in his price range. We've been working on a few of my songs together and I loved the results. His studio is very nice & his attitude towards his work is very serious and honest.I'm really happy I found him, it's really hard to find good producers for a good price these days.

Raz is a very talented and innovative producer. He is intuitive in knowing how to get the best results out of the artist. Also, he is great in collaboration and wants the artist to have their own voice in their artistry. I truly recommend Raz!

After the great experience we had last year, we again used Raz to records some songs for our family holiday album. And once again, we had a great experience and were very happy with the quality of the finished product.
Thanks Raz!

Had my track produced and mixed remotely by Raz, I was very satisfied with the results.
Customer service was great, job was done in a timely manner, and the production and mix are too notch quality.
Price was not expensive vs other producers I've checked.
Definitely give Raz a shot on your next project.
