    I had 5 songs that needed to be mastered within a diverse genre range. The Overlook made each track sound beyond the professional standard. Wonderful work .

    Overlook did an impressively good job at an impressively fast turnaround rate for a surprisingly low price. I assumed that maybe I was being fed some snake oil (because of the price) and figured maybe I just wasn't hearing something. Upon letting my colleagues (also producers and DJs) hear the records, the most common description I got was "pristine". If the mastering sounds this great I can only imagine how good the mixes must sound. I will definitely be working with Overlook in the future.
