It's a pleasure to work with Andy for mastering of our album, he's an attentive, patient and professional engineer, no waste of time in sterile speeches, he goes straight to the point. We are very satisfied.

If you ask me why I choose to ask Andy for help, I will answer you this question for hours. But the main reason is professionalism. With his help, many of my works have acquired a different, more modern, high-quality sound! I had to work with different music engineers, but Andy remains on the list! Friendly, talented, experienced, accommodating! Big up Andy!

Andy Malex is a true Master of Sound!
He assisted us in making audio music for our real life game for Tallinn Old City.
We managed to do it within 3 days. Together with Andy Malex we recorded sounds in nature, old town with other places and an deep, awesome sound track that gives goose bumps!
Never thought it could be done so unique, fast & such a quality.
Definatly a true Sound Master.
by Maksim Moroz
Easy to work with, very understanding in what the musician wants and very effective when it comes to sound design, the quality of it and how clean and deep it sounds.
If you want to write a song that has the same sound quality as top world artist, this is the real deal. I honestly never heard the same quality of sound in local industry, it is just amazing what Andy has achieved in studio.
