    My band and I have been working with Sasa for a year now and couldn't be happier! He recorded, mixed and mastered our debut EP and thanks to his outstanding technical skills, his musical intuition and taste he made us sound better than we ever imagined when we first entered the studio.

    I am especially impressed by his ability with and passion for analogue equipment that made the entire working process so much more fun and got us the incredible results that put a big smile on my face everytime I listen to our music.

    Huge thank you to Sasa!!

    I'm feeling super honoured to have worked with Sasa and I totally hope to work with him again! He turned my amateur recordings into an amazing sounding album. We worked together on the album Bingo Live Star Witch throughout 2023. I came with messy stems and out-of-time recordings which he painstakingly turned into something far superior.

    He's amazingly fast to "get it" - even before I knew what I wanted myself, and if you put trust in Sasa, he will push the creative boundaries! I chose to work with him after hearing Fat Manners record, which is so incredible. Thank you so much!

    Sasa is a fantastic engineer to work with, he is consistently attentive to discern the direction of the style of each project, and always going the extra mile to get that particular sound. The communication with him was clear and effective, and my desired expectation for the project has been more than fulfilled — I received great feedback from my partners. Well, what's more to say, I will definitely work again with him! Cheers!

    I've already worked with Sasa Strauss on a wide variety of projects and can recommend him highly. He takes a lot of time to understand my vision, makes suitable suggestions and gives the working process a very professional but always relaxed approach. Sasa knows his equipment very well, which meant that I was already enthusiastic after the first takes, even before any further sound shaping took place. He has a very well-trained ear, a keen sense of aesthetics and a clear technical understanding, which is why I was always extremely satisfied with all production, mixing and mastering decisions.

    Sasa Strauss was recording and mastering Ukrainian folk songs performed by my mother for the art project "Mother Land". I can't imagine a better collaboration - from the enjoyable process to the professional end result - huge thank you and highly recommended!

    I'm very happy with the mastering as it preserved the energy and timbre which intended with this track. It sounds very good on a large P.A. system but also on phone speakers, headphones and HiFi systems. The punchy energy of the bass section was preserved and also the crispness of all the elements with a lot of overtone work. The high freqs are not too harsh at all, it's the perfect amount of saturation and clipping. Thanks a lot!
