Selected Feedback
"I'm extremely happy with the product. I was a little suspicious of the unconventional miking technique at first, but it's some of the best recording of my sound that I've ever heard, and live to boot!"
Ian O'Beirne
Air Force Band, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Starlight Serenade
"We recorded in a bar, with an audience, a noisy refrigerator, and drinks being mixed and served throughout-- and yet the recording sounds crystal-clear, as clean as a studio or a concert hall, and warm and alive to boot."
Quin Arbeitman
Giraffes on Horseback Salad, Starlight Serenade
"He is an amazing engineer with a vast array of knowledge. He really cared about making all the musicians feel comfortable and happy with the setup and sound so we could focus on making music."
