Colin knows his business. The communication between us has been very good. He is responsive to the customer and has a great expertise in mixing EDM and Psytrance. The best choice for this music. I will be happy to work with him again and I can only recommend him highly.

had a disappointing experience with Colin Mastering on my first track. The communication was poor, and he seemed disinterested in the project, likely because he didn’t think it was “good enough.” The mastering felt like a half-done job, with no constructive feedback or attention to detail. As a first-time artist, I was hoping for more support and professionalism. I wouldn't recommend this service.

Colin gave my psytrance song the extra touch that made it sound super great. I am super satisfied and can only recommend. I will make use of his service again. Very responsive and professional, as well. Top!
