Testimonials

It was fantastic to work with João Lucas. An excellent technician and musician, he conveyed serenity and helped us stay focused during the recordings. During the editing and mixing phase, João was very receptive to our ideas; always available and patient, he worked quickly and with great commitment. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the final result of the mix – João managed to enhance the timbral richness of the instruments, bringing the recording to life without making it sound artificial and without compromising the dynamics.

João is careful, methodical, open and easy to work with. His attention to detail and the utmost care and the sonic clarity and precision with either Mixing or Mastering, it’s something that makes me feel more confident and secure through all this process, and elevates my music to its highest potential. He’s now my go-to engineer.
