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.

I hired Colin to do the mastering for my drum and bass track, and unfortunately, I wasn’t happy with the results. The quality just wasn’t up to professional standards, the balance and clarity were off, and it didn’t sound ready for release. When I tried to discuss the issues and ask for adjustments, he was very rude and dismissive instead of being open to feedback. Overall, a disappointing experience both in terms of the final product and communication.

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!
