check_circleVerifiedSeb is always so accommodating and helpful! Thanks again!!
check_circleVerifiedSébastien was awesome to work with on this project. He made sure to get me the final product I was looking for and did a great job on my track. Would definitely recommend working with him, and hope to work with him in the future!

I learned so much about what I didn’t know. Highly recommended!
check_circleVerifiedSecond time working with Seb (Coponat Records) for my piano solo piece. I really enjoy working with Seb because he is attentive to detail, answers quickly and has a fast turn around. It only took 1 round of revisions to get to the final publishable version (which I think it is great). Seb is always receptive to my feedback and brings his honest opinion. I am also learning a lot working with him. I am very happy with the results, and we will soon begin working not he third project. Thanks Seb!

Sebastian was wonderful to work with! Helped me with my mix and advice. Thanks again!!
check_circleVerifiedSebastian at Coponat Records is an awesome audio engineer. This was my first project with him as he mixed a string ensemble for me. The result was great and I will for sure use his services again.

This is the second piano piece I have worked on with Seb and I’m sure it won’t be to last, another great result

Seb is a true professional, he has extensive production knowledge and is a great communicator, very happy with the piano solo he mastered for me
- check_circleVerified
I am grateful for Sebastien's willingness to accommodate my (perhaps) unusual request. One consultation later, I have already learned a lot and have no regrets reaching out.

This was my third mastering track with Seb, and he's always professional, easy to work with, and helps me with parts of my master/mix that I didn't even hear myself. Looking forward to working with him and Sarah again!
- check_circleVerified
Super easy to work with Sarah and Sebastien! They even caught some noise in my tracks that I missed, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to working with them again!
