What folks are saying

I finally got a listen to the mastered recording you did for me. My first thought, when the intro started, was “smooth.” My emotional response as the track progressed could best be described as joy. I hear both a fullness and presence in the track that was lacking before. I didn’t know that was lacking as I sent you the best sounding track of anything I have done. I released an album last year just to friends and family, but if all my tracks sounded this good I’d be trying to get more people to listen to it. Thank you so much. I love it!

As an artist, I’m always looking to improve my work. I couldn’t be more happy with how my album turned out. I appreciate Adam’s professionalism and his Magic Ears!
He’s the man!

I’m not gonna make a list of all the improvements he brought to the track; I will let you be the judge of that. But they are significant and efficient. To summarize, let’s say that he succeeded where I failed, especially where there was a lot of middle frequencies. He managed to suppress the resonances after the breaks, to keep the voice of Matthew McConaughey much clearer than I did, and lots of others subtle improvements that make this version a lot better. I encourage you to contact him for your own work.

Adam’s mastering results were a breath of fresh air. He listens to the artist and delivers what they are looking for. Nothing sounds overdone or over processed, just musical and right for the material given.

Love it! Well done!! I love that it has the nice, deep low end we put in the mix…sounds nice and loud without being compressed/limited to death.

Long had I avoided getting my music professionally mastered. “It sounds fine,” I told myself. “Not worth it,” I thought.

But I was wrong. So, so wrong.

Adam Matza of Magic Ears Mastering brought things out in my recordings that were lost in distortion or buried within other frequencies.

Adam exhibits the highest standards of professionalism, understands what artists want and need and is extremely easy to work with.

I couldn’t be happier with the way my masters turned out, and I highly recommend him to other musicians.

Hey there! Now that is damn cool result. The word that first came to my mind was smooth — the piece sounds smoother! And you actually got the loud middle part exactly as what I was trying to achieve; a full, heavy-duty contrast to the more quiet bits. Well done, especially considering the headroom limitation!

Magic Ears Mastering RULEZ! Adam Matza does an excellent job. He has great ears and rock n roll instincts.

Working with Adam was not only more interactive than with any other mastering engineer I tried, but his advice showed years of irreplaceable experience. Patiently working through several revisions of my mixes (and I am a perfectionist), he patiently accommodated my personal preferences while adding his black magic on the mixes in a way that preserved my original vision. This was critical for me. Without over-coloring the tracks, he gave a palpable mojo to his masters worth every penny. I also found his rates more than competitive. I felt I got more from his masters than from previous engineers who charged as much and more than he did, and with less pleasing results. “Magic Ears” is a fitting moniker for his company. You really do feel like you’re paying for some sonic magic.

Adam Matza is a joy to work with. Magic Ears Mastering is the perfect name for his business, as he really does have magic ears. I’m so grateful to have found him and look forward to working with him for a long time to come.
