"Christopher helped make my home recording sound more professional ... the recordings had a lot of noiseand he worked with me toget everything sounding acceptable.He was a pleasure to work with and very prompt with updates. I also found that he has a naturally good ear and instinctively knew what I wanted without me having to ask. I really liked working with him and would recommend him to anyone."

"I'm an independent artist making techno/trance music, working from home in Rome (Italy) with limited equipment in a poor acoustic environment. I needed an affordable online mastering service I could trust and could deal with on a personal level. Christopher provided all this. His feedback on the music was friendly, detailed and knowledgeable, and he was patient in working with me to achieve the strong, clean & spacious sound I was looking for. The finished product is simply professional."

"I had a recording of a concert piece that suffered from low levels, generally cold acoustics, and some disturbingly noisy page turns. Christopher was able to warm up the sound and diminish the intrusiveness of the page turns while retaining a broad dynamic range..."

"We had made albums before, but we had never gotten them mastered. In retrospect, perhaps we should have. Christopher did a great job making the record not just louder, but clearer and better balanced, and basically making a bunch of tracks recorded in a home studio over a couple years with a bunch of different musicians come together like a coherent whole. At least, sonically. He was also good at understanding what we wanted and translating that into the mastering, even if, like on one track, what we wanted was to climax in an unbearable cacophony. He was a pleasure to work with and was also able to gently push the project along ..."

"As an eccentric composer needing to convey my music as clearly as possible, I was concerned with finding the right mastering house where the music would be held above all else. Christopher was not only able to provide artistic suggestions when asked, but also quickly learned my musical language and worked to enhance it. I have every bit of confidence in his services for truly maximizing a sound without altering the artistic direction. ... The results have been simply fantastic..."

"While considering the possibilities of what to do with a live jazz recording, a friend recommended Christopher ... The initial track contained a substantial amount of environmental noise which Christopher was able to reduce. After listening to the final version, I was quite pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for mastering services..."
