Review
Reed Moon Magnet Studios mastered my album Sin. It’s a 14 track album that I would describe as genre bending and sonically adventurous. When you make music that doesn’t fit perfectly into any one category it can be hard to find engineers who know what to do with it.
Moon Magnet Studios provided me with exemplary masters while still preserving the sonic clarity of each song. In addition to that, Reed’s consultation showed his knowledge and also his willingness to hear my ideas and goals for the masters. I’m very pleased with the way everything sounds and I look forward to working with Moon Magnet again for future releases!
