We have worked with Ali on two different projects. She has a calm, professional demeanor that belies her passion for her clients and their music. Ali has great ears, excellent technical and musical skills and knows how to record and mix a session to the client's exact needs. We have been very happy with the experience of working with Ali and recommend her highly.

I have been working with Amac for nearly a decade. She continues to deliver extraordinary work while also giving fantastic customer service. She is very knowledgeable as well in more than just the realm of music engineering but possesses a clear understanding of musical composition which helps me with the full spectrum of music production. I definitely reccomend her to anyone looking for quality.
