"... just as remarkable as advertised.  My company sent a completed mini CD recording up for final mastering as well as artwork and we were more than impressed.  Quick turn around and an excellent product!!  I searched long and hard via the Internet as well as local establishments and haven't found anyone even close to the quality and price”

"Oh my God . . . I'm listening to the 2 demos you had mastered, and I am speechless, left without words! I played the 2 songs in their original state before they were mastered, and it's completely night & day when compared to the mastered versions. I'll be sending in our full CD to be mastered, and highly recommend you to anyone who's looking for high quality mastering, without the high quality price."

"You guys are good! When I sent my CD demo off to be mastered, I didn't know what to expect. But when I received it in the mail and popped it into my stereo, I heard things that I didn't even know I recorded! It's magic how you guys took two songs that I recorded on my home computer at 4 AM and turned them into professional-sounding songs! These songs went from dungeon-sounding basement quality to radio quality, and I want to thank you guys immensely! When my entire CD is finalized I will DEFINITELY send my product to you for mastering! Thanks a million!"

"Living Scrapbook" for Family Slideshows: What better way to take your old family photos and put life into them by turning them into a video with music of your choice!  Theme videos can be made for weddings, graduations, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries ... and the list goes on!

Christopher Howard -  Rock CD mastering

"Wow! I just received the disc I sent you and I am highly impressed. My partner and I have been working on this project in my basement recording space for months now and there was just something missing from the sound. I had found you guys on the web a couple years ago and just thought it was too good to be true, so when it came time to think about song mastering and production, you were my first choice.  I had to know if you could really do everything you claim for the price that you ask. I am happy to say that when I received the CD I was blown away by the new power and quality of our songs. I have a lot more business coming your way. Thank you."

Highwater -  Rock/Power Pop CD mastering

"My band and I sent you two of our lowest quality recordings that we have. We gave a few copies of the same two songs out to some local talent and told them that whoever did the best job would get the account. I was really hoping that one of the guys around here would get the gig, because as a local band we like support local musicians. We received copies back from our in town guys and they were not much better than what we could do ourselves. Your demo blew us away. Our songs went from an AM flatness to the FM radio quality we have been looking for. All I could say was, "Wow"! All of the background noise from the mics had been eliminated, the vocals were crisp and clear, and the ambience went from flat and boring to wide and full. Some of the samples that I layered in the songs were very low-fi with allot of static and pops. The other guys didn't even touch them, but their absence was the first thing I noticed on the demo you sent.  We are excited to hear the whole album."

Kelly L. Goodwin -  Melodic Punk CD mastering

"... did an amazing job for the price. I didn't even know if I would be able to tell a difference after my band's CD was mastered, because I honestly didn't know what all mastering is or does. But believe me, it is definitely worth it. My melodic punk bands CD came out sounding much more like radio quality production and alot of that was due directly to the mastering. Thanks."

Frank Barretto -  Hip-Hop/Rap CD mastering

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you immensely for the quality sound that you produced on the mastering of our project. You guys did a wonderful job of making the music sound full, crisp, and clear. As we sat here and listened, we noticed certain sounds and melodies that we were unaware of before. The vocals sounded clear and in balance with the music.  Once again, thank you for all of the hard work put into our project. We will be sending you our upcoming projects for mastering, and we look forward to working with you in the future."

Dat Nguyen - Power Pop CD Mastering

"Oh my God . . . I'm listening to the 2 demos you had mastered, and I am speechless, left without words! I played the 2 songs in their original state before they were mastered, and it's completely night & day when compared to the mastered versions. I'll be sending in our full CD to be mastered, and highly recommend you to anyone who's looking for high quality mastering, without the high quality price."

Richard Kelly "Two Brothers Productions" - Urban Christian CD Mastering

"Hi, My name Is Richard, representing "Two Brothers Productions" located in Milwaukee, WI.  I understand your concern as far as sending material to a company you found over the Internet...  About a year ago, I had the same feelings!!  Rest assured, you are remarkable as advertised.  My company sent a completed mini CD recording up for final mastering as well as artwork and we were more than impressed.  Quick turn around and an excellent product!!  I searched long and hard via the Internet as well as local establishments and haven't found anyone even close to the quality and price."

Front Line Entertainment -  Hip-Hop/Rap CD mastering

"You guys are good! When I sent my CD demo off to be mastered for free, I didn't know what to expect. But when I received it in the mail and popped it into my stereo, I heard things that I didn't even know I recorded! It's magic how you guys took two songs that I recorded on my home computer at 4 AM and turned them into professional-sounding songs! These songs went from dungeon-sounding basement quality to radio quality, and I want to thank you guys immensely! When my entire CD is finalized I will DEFINITELY send my product to you for mastering! Thanks a million!"

Andy Yeo -  Pop CD Mastering

"... asked them to transfer my demo tape from audio cassette to CD and they more than fulfilled my expectations.  I am from England and the service I received was a lot faster and more professional than I would have received in the UK.  They will be getting my business in the future."

Cindy Killavey -  Folk and Story Telling CD Mastering

"It was such a thrill to open the box and see our great looking CD all wrapped in "shrink" and professional-looking. You did a fantastic job mixing and matching the sound on Slappy and the classic stories too!"

Jim Denney "Welcome to Kentucky" Denney - Country CD Mastering

"I have received the additional 20 copies of the C.D.. I'm extremely pleased with the sound and graphics on it. I gave a copy of the CD to a Hollywood producer, and his comment was: "I don't know how much it cost to make the CD, you got your money's worth." Everyone loves the CD. It was money well spent. Thanks."

Charles Watson -  Hip-Hop/Rap CD mastering

"Thanks.  The CD sounds great and looks great. Thanks for the extra work you put into my project.  What a deal.

"Brian McMahon - Pop Audio Restoration CD Mastering

"I had an old tape from a collage band circa 1964. They transferred  the tape to 4 CDs, modernized the sound for me and then patiently waited while I decided on the material for the final CD. His work  was flawless and using artwork I supplied, the result was a nice  package enjoyed by all my old buddies. I highly recommend them."

Latty - Pop CD Mastering

"A great way to transform your home demo's to CD! You won't believe the difference. The sound quality was greatly enhanced after I listened to the CD's. The processing included in the price, transforms your ordinary 'home' recording into a professional sounding studio recording. Your songs will sound clearer, sharper and brighter AND no hiss! You can get your songs sounding good for very little to pay. Everything is done very quickly, so if you live outside the U.S.A., you don't have to worry, you can get your CD's within a few days ... I'd definitely send more of my songs to put on CD!!!"

AM Henrich - Chants CD Mastering

"I was very pleased with the work done. I had a tape of chants that was recorded very poorly. The sound was very muddy, had significant vibrations throughout and the volume was inconsistent. After the work done, the sound was dramatically clearer. After the removal of hisses, snaps and other interference, I could hear a guitar and a harmonium in the background that I never heard before. In addition, the vocals which sounded harsh before, now sound clear and soft. Lastly, they extended the length of each song by repeating the whole song. The transition was so smooth, that the added on parts sound like part of the original song."

Lance Langois - Country CD Mastering

"I have received my free demo CD and have to say it exceeded my expectations. My music sounds better to me than the day I wrote it. Without doubt, the full CD will be in your hands for mastering shortly. Thanks again for your help."

Ginger Howard - Family Tape to CD Transfer

"Bill, you and your team did a great job! We love the CD and the cover is truly precious. I am absolutely delighted. Thanks to all! Christmas will be normal now that we have our traditional music back!"

James Neylans - Family Singing Tape to CD Transfer

"We received the CDs yesterday and I want you to know how pleased we are with the results. Also, the labels, jewel cases and wrapping were a nice touch. Thanks for the prompt service. These will make a really nice 25 year old gift to my girls. I'll recommend your service to my friends. Again....thanks."

Dave Robertson - Music DVD Audio Mastering

"We are extremely impressed with the post-production engineering you did on our music DVD.  I gave you a video recording with pretty bad sound.  You did a great job reducing noise and bringing out the low frequencies while improving the volume.  Crystal clear sound.  Awesome work."
