What folks are saying

In a seemingly endless world of in-the-box practitioners, Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering is the real deal. Whether it’s providing that special extra sheen you were always wanting, or giving you that punch and quality to stand out…He’s the mastering engineer of choice for me, project after project. And he should be yours, too.

I could best describe your mix as “precise.” You’ve got an excellent ear. Over the last 40 years, I’ve taken seven bands into a recording studio and only one other engineer has managed to give me as good a guitar sound as you did. And you did it under the worst of circumstances: with a guitar recorded on a software modeling amp! Nice job with the bass, too. Great work!

I have had a few experiences with different mastering engineers, but my experience with Adam was the best.

He really separates himself by asking questions and trying to get inside the mind of the songwriter. It’s abundantly clear throughout the process that he cares a lot about taking your music as far as it possibly can go.

Once we were done, Adam was available for consultancy and general knowledge share. Adam is a cool and talented guy who was reliable, professional, and compassionate throughout my time working with him; he has earned my highest recommendation.

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!

This is an excellent company to do business with. Adam really knows his stuff. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or outcome for my project. Thanks Adam! Keep up the good work!

Magic Ears Mastering did an excellent job mastering the latest Stephen Evans & the True Grits album, “Buzz of Bees.”  Adam Matza was pleasant and communicative to work with, as well as very diligent about getting us what we wanted with the overall sound and volume.  We will definitely work with him again.

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.

WOW! you’ve actually made me sound good! I shall sing your praises and fly the flag for your service amongst my muso acquaintances over the pond here in Scotland (UK).

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.

I can highly recommend Adam Matza and Magic Ears Mastering, having used them on all four Orange Hypothesis EPs since 2017. Working with Adam is always a pleasure and I really value our partnership. He communicates really well, is super engaged, offers helpful suggestions and options and is patient and responsive with my queries and requests. It’s a really rewarding collaborative process and the end results never fail to leave me smiling. Adam brings clarity, space and precision to the mix, at the same time somehow magically making the whole thing gel. His insights and feedback have helped me improve the quality of my mixes and I’ve learned something new every time we work together. Adam has great musical knowledge and I trust and value his instincts. In short, Magic Ears Mastering rocks! Give them a go, you won’t be disappointed.
