Mike Crossey, producer & mixer

The best mastering engineer for me at any price is Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering. I have used all the major mastering studios but Robin just nails it every time. Powerful and punchy masters with dynamics and drama intact. Radio 1 are loving his masters with many being playlisted over the last few years. He is also a gentleman and can usually articulate what I want better than I can. I can’t recommend him enough.

Philip Bennefall, producer & engineer

This man is an audio expert. In a few hours he turned my rather dull and fairly inconsistent sounding recording into a work of art. It now sounds crystal clear, comparing my original to the finished master; it’s like night and day. If you need a professional, dedicated engineer who will do his utmost to see to it that your project sounds the very best it can, Robin is your best bet by a long way. Combine his expertise with a speedy, friendly service… It’s really not a hard choice.

Robin, Thanks for this. It sounds MASSIVE. Really punchy and more aggressive than my listening mix. Tighter, snappier all the good words!… I’m very excited by your master. This is without a doubt the most amazing mastering experience I’ve ever encountered. Truly, I’ve never had a service like this, ever. Not even close.

Clemens Wijers, musician & composer

AWESOME! Really really very good, well done! The moment the second track started I realised that it was a blast right in the face without losing dynamics or anything! I think I can hear that you guys did several little things here and there to give each track what it needs. What really suprised me was the outro of the CD, it sounds reallly atmospheric and intense, the sound doesn’t lose intensity at all regarding the fact that there are no vocals or tons of stuff going on any more. Really cool:) Thanks a lot!!
