Testimonials

One of the hallmarks of Audio Bay Mastering is our dedication to our clients, our honesty in business and our commitment to our craft. But don’t take our word for it; see what our clients and colleagues have to say!

“I’ve worked with engineers from Nashville to Los Angeles and I give Mr. Mitchell my highest recommendation. If you want to hire an engineer to work on your album then “Google” mastering studios. If you want to work with a very skilled and talented individual with an outstanding reputation and honest work ethic, then contact Andy at The Audio Bay.”
BLAKE CARTER, producer, songwriter (Billy Currington, Sugarland, Nelly, Ashanti, Ray J,)

I’ve listened carefully to all the tracks in all kinds of environments. You have done a beautiful job. The sound is so warm and clear at the same time. I’m impressed with the volume also,  I do not feel at all the compression, which is great, because it sounds natural. I think also the analog saturation (I assume that’s what it is) you were able to put in makes a big difference in the quality and warmth. It is big, full and glued together (the bass is just right ). Thank you for making my humble home studio album sound so professional. I even like it  better now than “I’ll be alright tomorrow”( I mean the sound, not the music), something I thought was unreachable for me, when I started mixing my project.
Louise Goulet, Songwriter, Independent Recording Artist, Quebec, Canada

“In an era when everyone can record, mix and master on a laptop, why go to a professional studio? Easy answer: The engineer. The Audio Bay has earned it’s reputation because of it’s owner, Andy Mitchell. He has a unique gift for all things audio including mixing, mastering, offering guidance and finding solutions when need be, and most importantly making the music we envision a reality. It is what he does all day, everyday. I am in awe of his talents. I have learned and continue to learn so much from him, not to mention he is a really great guy and a pleasure to work with.”
JOE AYOUB, Bassist / Producer (Enrique Iglesias / Shakira / Liz Phair)

There is a sizable element of trust when you deliver your music to a mastering engineer, both that they know exactly what they are doing and that they will put 100% effort into your final product. I’ve worked with Andrew for 11 years and trust his judgment and professionalism decisively, which is why I give him my personal endorsement.”
Andy Pleune, Producer, A&R APL

“I can’t stress enough how much a devoted engineer is worth in this day and age. With so many people offering services online, it’s easy to get lost in the minutia of it all, but do yourself a favor. Drop all of those cheesy online mastering studios that crank out songs like a factory conveyor belt. Get an engineer that not only knows, but cares about your work. That’s what Audio Bay brings to the table. Experience, knowledge, and engineers that will work with you to get the best sound. Do yourself a huge favor and go with Audio Bay. You work hard on your music, and your music deserves the best.”
