    This was an urgent project and I required extremely fast delivery. Still, Sam not only delivered a professional project -- it was STUNNING. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

    Thank you for making my music as close to perfect as possible!!

    Again, a pleasure to work with Sam. This one required almost no back and forth because of the expedient mixing/mastering success, but even with a few rounds, Sam is committed to making it as close to perfect as possible.

    I have worked with Sam on multiple projects and can honestly say that he is a TRUE and RARE talent. He is technically sound but it's more than that. He has used his skills to bring my projects to LIFE! I won't use another engineer. I STRONGLY recommend him. He is excellent.

    I have collaborated personally with Samuel for a plethora of projects during the last 5 years. I am confident that he is able to fulfill sound production projects from beginning to end with over the top quality and professionalism.
    Among the projects we have worked together are worth mentioning sound effects and stingers for corporations, to whole soundtrack arrangements for music videos.
    Something characteristic about Samuel is that he looks forward to delivering high-quality sound assets and services while also being very proficient at understanding and executing his clients' vision.

    Sam is professional, likeable, extremely easy to work with, and above all, will work without fail to make sure that the final product meets your exact standard. I have worked with him on two different projects, and both times, I found the experience to be stress-free, and more importantly, the final work to be mixed/mastered to a very high standard.

    Sam is a wonderful artist and a generous professional. I've worked with Sam on almost all of my songs. He has always been willing to go the extra mile to achieve the perfection required for the song and in several cases far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with him a lot more in the future.

    Sam's work is absolutely fantastic. We've been working together for 2.5 years and I am totally happy that I have found him. We just finished an album and it sounds marvellous. Looking forward to future projects.

    I started working with Sam over a year ago and now I rely on him to mix and master all my work. He's one of the rare talents that has the ear and tools to do both. Sam is super easy to work with - it's done when it's right, no exceptions - because he takes a lot of pride in his craft. He'll also do some slight producing if you ask in terms of timbres, panning effects, etc. I really like how thorough his delivery is - for my label, I need instrumentals, vocals, and everything broken out and he does that for me, so it makes it really convenient. And for all this, his prices are competitive.
