Testimonials

I’m so pleased and honored to have received so many compliments over the past several years. Highlights are included here. If there hasn’t been a new testimonial posted in a while, that’s because I’m so busy creating new song edits and mixes, I haven’t had a chance to update this page.

Thank you for being so generous and helpful!”

— Diane Gans, studio owner

“I have spent a few weeks searching and listening…. You have an amazing site [on Legitmix]. I have been out of the dance field for nearly 5 years so this was educational for me in catching up with some of the newer songs and artists. It’s been entertaining me for weeks now! I used to spend hours listening to music, marking edits and then working with a professional to get those edits done. You make this so easy at a fraction of the time and a fraction of the price. Thank you!”

“Throwing a shout-out to THE Morriss Partee…..dang he is amazing at his job.

Yesterday I had a piece debut for the first time, a dark tap piece that I had never seen in costume (or even began the cleaning process for that matter) so I was a little worried it would blow up in my face…..Plus, I edited it myself and it was an original fade-out song which I really hate for tap, so I put a very lack-luster ending note on there that was just displaced and boring.

The kids ending up smashing it and it ended up the top scoring 13 and over routine of the weekend (Happy surprise!) I thought if it was going to be that good it definitely deserved a stronger ending…..so I messaged Morriss Partee and not even an hour later my email had a new edit ….. GUYS. Holy cwap. He literally manufactured the same instruments in the song, using 3 different grand pianos, an orchestra of violins……he went ahead an “polished” the entire track for me to make it sound sparkly and new again, since I had sped up the music tremendously to fit the speed of my taps. The new ending is perfection and intense!!!!

I love people who are passionate at what they do and share it! Thanks so much Morriss for being there for me and for delivering nothing but the best!!! GOOOO MORRISSSSSS!!!! ‪#‎kickballchangejazzhand‬ “

“Just wanted to drop a note of thanks again. My team just had their last comp on Sunday and placed 3rd out of 10 in their division, which was the first time we have placed. The girls were very proud of themselves!

Thanks again for the great music mix! It was perfect. 🙂
Have a great day!

And yes, the second time you have made me tear up with not only relief from me having to do the impossible edit, but for you making it sound so amazing that it literally inspires me as a choreographer. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much appreciation and respect I have for you. Thank you.”

“Ladies and gents can I just brag on Morriss Partee for a minute…. He (in less than 3 hours) took a 5 minute song and cut it to 3 minutes on the nose without loosing a single important part of the lyrics.. He is amazing and I can’t wait to work with him again! Thank you so much Morriss!!!!”

I absolutely love the awesome intro and how you mixed through the transitions to make them so smooth- it builds well, has plenty of dynamics and it’s so fun!!!

“Hi Morriss! Thank you so much! It’s perfect! You are definitely the best at what you do! The choreographer said you are amazing and that she can’t believe you were able to do it so that it blended so well and didn’t even sound like it had been cut. Not to mention how fast you are at getting it done too. Talk to you again the next time we need some music cut. 🙂 Have a great New Year!”

Thank you so much. The editing is flawless. It makes a huge difference having someone who is also familiar with dance to cut the music.”
