Grammy Award Winning Engineer

James Auwarter is a very experienced professional, delivering his projects to the highest standards. I have worked with him several times as a mastering engineer, but also know people who have used his skills in mixing and production who have also said his work is exceptional. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

James is really accommodating and easy to work with. The master sounded great and he was very easy to communicate with!

Thanks James for the great work! Incredibly professional, my song was mastered in a day. He understood my vision and enhanced the value of the song. It was an honour working with him, I will definitely do this again in the future.

Second time working with "Studio James". I can definitely see us working together more long-term. Amazing work!

World Class Mastering Engineering, He is Definitely my new favorite, Can't wait to work on many more projects with you, such an Awesome Professional!!!!

This guy is so Great Thanks 100%

It's such a pleasure working with James. His responses are so quick I felt we were working in the same room! My song had very disctinct sections and he made every section sound like its supposed to. He really listens to your feedback and is really patient with perfectionistic customers like me.

You can tell he does this for the love of music.

James took what was already a great mix to a whole new level with his mastering process. The final master sounds great, professional, and polished on all devices. He was also very quick in getting me a revision after I requested a small change. I'm very very happy with the final result and will definitely be coming back!

James was receptive and quick. He mastered my song very well!

My second time working with James after he mixed/mastered songs for my LP and it was amazing once again. He's super quick to make revisions and the communication is a breeze too. Will definitely be back for more masters and mixes this year!

James definitely made my first “SoundBetter” experience a good one! I will definitely continue to work with him.

This engineer makes your song sound good. Highly recommend.

Professional and cares about his work as well as yours! Glad I met you!

Another great master. James is very accommodating and willing to make revisions until you're happy and satisfied with the end result.

James mastered our song "Brisa del Verano". Now here's a real grammy winner. When working with James, you know why! Friendly, fast and effective. The master sounds perfect on each device, keeping great dynamics and respecting the initial sound. Highly recommended and definitely coming back!

Good communication! I really recommend James. I will def hit him for my next songs

James is a true professional. He took a mediocre mix and turned it into a master that is world class with a quick turnaround. Always personable and he communicates very clearly, which is such an important factor in getting the desired result. I couldn’t be happier with the master he has returned, and I look forward to working with him again soon.

James is the man!!!

Very easy to work with and super cool. I will definitely work with him again. He was able to help me meet my release deadline. He listened to my concerns and what I wanted to hear and was able to deliver.

Both Neyo and Brian Angel were pleased with the mastering

Amazing Quality, fast turnback and great personality, highly recommend.

James is a real pro and was very helpful and easy to communicate with! I had a track and he made it better by mastering it. After a few days, I got a unique and well-mastered track the way I wanted it to be - with the help of reference tracks I sent. Happy to work with him again in the future!

Cannot recommend James enough. He's the top level engineer you're searching for when you're on SB. He's got both the skills, the ears and the experience that gives you the competitive, top notch result you're after.

The Best in the business! Without a doubt! Thank you for your EAR.

Great experience with the very professional & talented James A .

James took on my project with an under 24 hour deadline and he knocked it out! This absolutely THE BEST MASTER I've ever had. And he did it in very short time frame. In the past I've used those online mastering services and my records never had that "industry" sound. You know that industry sound, loud but not to loud, clear punch and translates on every device. I've always had loud and harsh with little definition. First time I see what a "mastered" record should sound like! Truly Impressed!

It was an honor working with James, he was very professional.

Quick efficient and helped with quality settings. Something I’m not good at!

James brings up the best in you in order to Create YOUR song, great teamwork

Only person I go to for mastering !

James was a pleasure to work with! I had a very lo fi track I needed re-mastered and he was very communicative and patient with me as we tweaked and improved what we started with! Thanks again, James~

James is awesome. Quick responder, hard worker, flexible, always does a great job as well. Will be working with him more!

James is an honest and respectful producer

Extremely professional and quick to respond to any messages. His turnaround time was exactly as stated, and the master came back perfect on the first shot (which NEVER happens.) I will absolutely be utilizing James for my future projects. Highly recommended.

Absolute pleasure working with James, he did a fantastic job with on a really tight deadline... Will definitely be working with him again!

Excellent service! Great feedback on our mix before he started mastering which was very useful. Easy communication, very prompt replies and turnaround!

James really knows what he's doing! We have tried different resources but this is the first time my team has been happy about a master. He just mastered the first song off of my EP & I'm excited for what's to come. He has been super informative & kind throughout these past few days; I'm definitely one happy artist. Thank you again, James.

James was very accommodating and his communication is very clear, this combination of skills makes it very easy to work together. Add to the fact that his mixing skills are very good and you can rest sure that your song is in good hands!

The best audio engineer you can find here , James make My song go to an other level with a premium top quality mastering.

Thanks again

James was a dream to work with. He's a clear and effective communicator and was able to help us get exactly what we wanted. Where we needed help to articulate our wishes remotely for an engineer, he was able to easily translate our requests to his skillset and give us an amazing product that sounds so much better than the mix.

Absolutely stoked with what James has helped us achieve.. Definitely recommend James, we got a few more tracks lined up for him in the near future. Cant wait!!

A true professional. James was commissioned to master 1 track for digital distribution and he has taken the track to another level- loud, dynamic, balanced, punchy, clear, exciting. Lots of adjectives that typically don't all come together to describe the same thing. Very personal and great communication throughout. Would highly recommend.

Quick turnaround sounded great and even made adjustments for me would def recommend

James is a great music professional. My album has become truly valuable with his work. Never heard of anything like it. Thank you so much. Hope to work with you soon. You are the best!

Amazing! James was able to respond to my requests very quickly and professionally.

James advice on the track has been a game changer and has really allowed the energy and dynamics of the track to shine through.

Extremely pleased with James’ mix and his excellent communication! Would highly recommend. Not only does he have a great attitude, he asks the right questions, and the final product reflects that attention to detail. Now using him to master a much larger project. Glad I found him on here.

True professional, knows how to take a mix to a finished and polished product. Will be working with James again.

A really top job. Im a producer out of Ireland and hired James for my next single. Lovely to deal with couldn't be happier. The best engineer I used to date.

Very reliable, great communication!
Until now, best master service on this platform.

Song went from Great Value to Name Brand. 10/10

Wow, absolutely brilliant service! Jamie was very helpful, patient and finally I've got a sound I wanted. I'm pretty sure I'm going to order another mastering very soon! Thanks Jamie!

We do recommend this great and incredible mixer.
James is awesome man

Brilliant guy who's patient and will amend anything that you would like. He even did a quick remaster of my two other tracks to get them in line with the ones he was mastering. Top job!

Awesome mixer, amazing masterer and wonderful person, we loved to work with him

James was an absolute pleasure to work with. He mastered my track "Alive" and brought out the cleanest, richest sound!!

First time working with James and I am absolutely delighted with the result! Very professional and easy to work with. I am very satisfied with the way he mastered my new track and I will definitely keep in touch with him to work on more projects!

James was super genuine with his interest in my art and what I wish it to sound like. Together we were able to reach the end result I had in mind and I was really happy with the result. Perfectly mastered in the end. Thanks for bearing with me James :)

James was such a pleasure to work with. I learned more about mastering from his service than any other person that I've went through. He was very understanding and very driven to get the master that I was happy with. I highly recommend. Top tier quality and delivery.

James was great. He was very responsive and professional. I am very happy with the master track I was delivered. Will definitely use James again.

James was awesome! Super easy to work with. Very kind and very clear. He always made sure to walk me through what he was doing and his process and made everything super smooth. Thanks for being so warm and helpful! Takes notes like a champ too. If I need songs mastered I will go to him again and recommend him highly!

James was fantastic in every area. Quick detailed responses and fantastic work. He was also extremely flexible when things got a bit hectic for me. Will definitely be working more in the future.

James is all about the client. He went well above and beyond the norm to make sure I got what I wanted. Then, when I wanted to change a couple mix elements and send the tracks through his mastering chain months after we'd closed the job, he accommodated me without a blink. That kind of flexibility and artistic selflessness is truly rare in the music game. Props James. You're a pleasure to work with.

James was excellent to work with, great with communication and was super helpful with feedback on the mix too. He delivered high quality masters that sound fantastic and most importantly don't sound squashed!

James Auwarter, was patience and professional in everyway. I would use him on any project I have. He was very proficient at his job. - Nuwamba

Perfect work! I'm very very happy. The quality of the master is one of the best I've ever tried. James is very kind and helpful. Great!!!

James IS NOT your average engineer! His communication skills were 110% throughout the entire mixing process. He was able to understand the sound I wanted to go for and helped us achieve that goal. You don’t often find people who are more interested in a satisfactory outcome over the money, James is one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for any mixing and mastering projects! Glad to have found him and I’m looking forward to working with him very soon!

Im one of those rather annoying clients that obsesses over small things and doesnt rest until the track sounds exactly like they want.
James went above and beyond to serve me, and was really patient
throughout the whole process. He delivered a professional master.

A True Master Engineer!

James has been a joy to work with from the beginning. A great communicator and has delivered work of real quality for a sound that has been challenging to other engineers we had been to, on top of this his turnaround was remarkable.

James did an incredible job of mastering my song! He communicated very well and delivered before my deadline. The song sounds amazing - crystal clear, loud, and dynamic. There was no need for revision. If you're looking for professionalism and a high quality final sound, look no further.

James put in a bunch of time of this song, dialing in every detail. Very much appreciate his time and expertise!

James is a true professional. His willingness to take feedback, and send you multiple revisions until you are satisfied, takes him to another level. He communicates often (which is important, especially for remote projects) and his turnaround time is fast. Highly recommended.

Whouaa..there's a lot to say about this wonderful and incredible mixer..I do recommend him..Thank you so much James

A true professional, James mastered my song and it was the perfect finishing touch. Clear communication and very fast - thank you!

sweet-sweet, patient, professional, did everything I asked with np at all.
grateful

Extremely professional quality. Also a pleasure to work with and worked with me through some issues my team and I had with the original mix.

James was professional and efficient. He was very chill with feedback and tweaking, and communicated well. Even for the mixes that I know were rough, he went the extra mile on his mastering to make them sing.

James is fantastic mastering engineer and all round good guy! He was a joy to work with and he polished up my track so so well! I wholeheartedly recommend his friendly services! Let's work together again soon!

James is easy to work with and I think he is patient and professional in what he does. I recommend you contact him because he knows exactly what he is doing! Very good at mixing to do mastering!

It was a pleasure working with James. He takes the time to understand your project, to make changes on the revision process, he gives suggestions if asked, he delivers on time, good/clear communication, etc.
You can tell, he cares about your project. And the final result?
Totally better from what I expected.
Amazing!

Thank you James!

Aweosme delivery

It was a pleasure working with James. I'm lucky to have worked with such a professional and knowledgable mix/master engineer to finish my album. The mixes came out really crisp and he was very clear about what he needed from me. The communication was also great and he was very organized and quick with revisions. Will definitely be coming back to him whenever I need anything mixed/mastered again!

I felt strange asking James, the guru for sound engineering, to help me on my little song, but he was so kind and professional, and just really respectful of even my inexpertise that I felt completely at ease here. You're not just getting first class knowledge, but treatment. Highly efficent, very fast, and high quality!

Yes. Exceeded expectations. Please and thank you. Can’t wait to work with James again.

Quick to work with and a great assistance

Working with James was a delight. He was able to communicate clearly what he needed, and produced a very well balanced master with good loudness very quickly. The track sounds great, thanks James!

Superb work and communication! I will 100% send my tracks to him for now on.

James has done some exceptional work for me. I didn't have to request any changes because it was right the first time.

Great mastering job with a quick turnaround! Worth every penny! James is the best!!!

James did an incredible job mastering a project for me. He is quick, talented, and incredibly efficient. He is also a genuinely nice guy from my short time communicating about the project. I intend to have James master more projects for me. I couldn't ask for a better Mastering Engineer. Professional, polite, talented, and a cool guy!

James magically added that something extra to my track and I am very pleased with the final result. Highly recommendable, both in terms of sound, professionality, communication and time. He went the extra mile to meet my expectations and he really knows good sound! Thanks James

James really changed the way we heard our song. We were already proud of it as it was and he transformed it into something we could really be proud of. Two thumbs up, a definite 10/10.

I am so glad to have collaborated with James. As a newbie to music content creation, I didn't know what to expect. I certainly had more than my share of questions. I knew what I wanted, but didn't always know how to articulate my vision musically. James was enthusiastic about my project, and was thorough enough to make sure we were on the same page. Thanks SoundBetter, and many thanks to James. I appreciate the mastering.

Consider yourself lucky if you chose James to master your songs or albums. He did an absolutte A+ performance on my song, showed sincere interest in what sound I was aiming at, and is very nice and easy to communicate with. My strongest reccomendations.

Kept to the deadline which is always super helpful but most importantly, the mastering at that level gave the song everything it needed. Will definitely be coming here in the near future.

Nice

Once again, James did an amazing (!) job in a very timely manner. Can't reccomend him enough to producers and artists that need a highly experienced and talented engineer. In addition to his skills, he's also very professional, polite and easy to work with. 20/20.
