I was a first-timer for mixing a song I recorded pre-pandemic at another studio, and I had met Don just before lockdown. He was on my short list if I had to do any additional recording, but also mixing of the song for release. He was able to accommodate the timeline and was quick to organize and understand a session he hadn't recorded.
As I asked questions, he had fast answers and solutions and was able to offer valuable input and feedback while I was going through the process of decision making and edits to be done. He took the time to explain things thoroughly and easily and totally understood where I wanted to take the song.
In the end, I had mastering ready mixes to move forward with, and the time and price were fair for the work done as well as the education I needed along the way. I'll be back to record or have him mix future work, and would recommend him highly for his ability, personality, communication, and pricing. Earwig studio was a great experience.
