Testimonials
I’ve been lucky enough to work with a really diverse range of producers, record labels, artists and studios over the years. Here are some testimonials from a selection of them, which hopefully give you an insight into what it’s like to work with me as your mastering engineer…

Stuart is my go-to mastering engineer. He takes a genuine interest in the artist and producer’s vision and applies those ideas with skill and precision.
Ian Carmichael
Producer/ Mix engineer – (One Dove, Tom Goss, Lamb)
Stuart has those rare qualities of being both quiet and inspirational – his amazing expertise allows him to just get on with the technical stuff without any fuss; and when creative issues do arise, he’s right there with the solutions and the ideas. He’s a truly accomplished professional listener, not just to the music but also to the client.
Dave Cameron-Pryde
Executive Music Producer, Artist Manager (Moby, Erasure, Kid British, Cradle of Filth, Rammstein):
Stuart has a fantastic set of ears, the most important part of it all, and his experience of working with audio and his professionalism are second to none. I have worked with Stuart on countless projects over the years with artists signed to major and indie labels as well as self-releasing artists. I would recommend him without hesitation for your audio needs no matter what level you are at, the guy is a joy to get creative with.

Stuart mastered my new EP and he was amazing! He enhanced the spirit and spark of the tracks and was super professional and quick to turnaround the project.
The Orchids
Artist
When we needed someone to master our work, we were assured with confidence that Stuart was the man for us. It wasn’t easy, it was a lot of home recording, but we are extremely proud of the end product. Stuart handled our work with such understanding and efficiency. I would recommend Stuart for anyone wanting a professional, great sounding product.
Si Hardacre
Recording / Mix engineer
I highly recommend Stuart to anyone looking for a mastering engineer. I’m a firm believer that you should work with a mastering engineer that you can trust, and as well as being a great communicator, Stuart is one of those people who just ‘gets’ music, so I can send him my mixes safe in the knowledge that they’ll come back as good as they can get. I recently had an album with a tight turnaround and Stuart was able to work with my deadlines to get it finished on time, with incredible results!
