Sander did an amazing job! It was the second time I worked with Sander - and man, he really knows what he's doing!!! He mastered a Soul-Jazzy-Funk-Tune and the song came alive through Sander's Mastering!
I highly recommend it to everyone to work with Sander!

Very fast feedback. Super good mastering and Sander even revisited the mastering to change some small adjustments that I wanted. It's really excellent and one of the highest standards!

We got a master from Sander and received it quickly.
What Sander created with this song was amazing and definitely took it to the next level. We are 100% happy with the result and absolutely recommend Sander! - check_circleVerified
Sander did a really great job on our four singles. He is able to create more transparency and width in our mixes and tackle problem areas, which is very comforting and useful, especially in the low range. He preserves dynamics and still is able to create mixes with a loudness of -9 LUFS.

Sander is an artist, a perfectionist, a tasteful master when it comes to mastering! His touch would define what mastering should mean. Thank you Sander, it's an honor...
Sander is one of the leading mastering engineers from the Netherlands, and that's for a reason. With his eye for detail and his tasteful approach to every genre, he will allways deliver a master that's so much clearer and deeper than the original mix. I would highly recommend him to everyone who's serious about his mixes!
Sander is a true professional and a really nice and helpful guy to work with.
My mixes sound a LOT better when he's finished with them.Would recommend him always.
It's really easy to communicate with Sander and he's a perfectionist in the best way possible. The rainbow matters to him, not the pot of gold at the end. Several years now and counting!
Sander is my go to mastering engineer, tons of experience and always amazing results. I cannot endorse him enough. Always bringing an even fuller en warmer sound to all my mixes and makes them sound great on every system. Great in communication too. truly a professional! This is mastering.
Sander van der Heide offers a top of the bill mastering service. His masters are very well balanced and definitely add to the mixes. The Saint of Sound is also personally easy to work with during the mastering process and delivers what his name suggests.
Hey Sander, je hebt een top product afgeleverd. Digitaal en vinyl de balans is perfect.
Dank voor je inzet en online hulpFirst of all, we are talking about top-level mastering in a fantastic studio. What’s more, Sander has the right combination of technical expertise, ears & musical taste. Communicating about the nuaces of mastering audio can be complicated, but Sander is a great communicator: We talk about what the idea is, perhaps exchange some references and usually his masters are exactly right the first time. But on the rare occassions where we had a different idea about the sound aesthetic, Sander understood what I meant quickly and it was taken care of in round. Sander's also a great guestspeaker.
Loved Sander's work! He mastered my a live acoustic EP "Surrender" - 4 songs, piano/voice recorded as a live performance. The dynamics were beautifully preserved, while making it present and competitively loud without over-compressing it. Overall, a very classy work! I will be back for more ;)
Sander is one of the most well known and experienced Mastering Engineers in The Netherlands. He is extraordinary skilled and not easy satisfied by what he hears, willing to go further until he is. It's a privilege to "lend his ears" and let him bring your mixes to the next level, and the next... Easy to work with, a friendly host and very patient with demanding clients. Thanks, Sander!
Hi Sander, Thank you for your cooperation! It's great that you also accept a smaller project. For me, this was the first project in this area, so I had many questions. You are friendly, patient and willing to explain everything. Highly appreciated. Obviously you know what you are talking about. It was and is a joy working with you. And we will continue to do so. Many thanks.
With his outstanding technical skills, guidance and deep music understanding Sander van der Heide added a new dimension to our mix.
It is a joy working with Sander.
