The Come Up

Sam, dropping a line of thanks for your Mastering and how you brought this HIP Hop  compilation CD with the 20 various hip hop artists that were recorded in  different studios to sound like they were all recorded in one major recording studio.
The way you pre-mixed and then mastered the album made it sound HOT!
All we heard is that it is a great sounding CD and you certainly have the best Mastering studio!

Da Threat - Ghetto Scripture Hip Hop

Sam, Dropin' a line of thanks for the Great Mastering you did on our Da Threat Hip Hop  cd. We got your Mastering Studio from a friend in New York, And at first we were skeptical about flying in all the way from Jacksonvillie Florida to New York. We are glad that we did. The way you pre-remixed the two tracks through your Logic Console which changed the sound and made the CD sound like it was recorded in your major studio. And then when you finished the Mastering, it sounded like Da Bomb. Better than many major label cds. Also the recording studios that we recorded and mixed these tracks were amazed at how huge and great the mastered CD sounded. We will recommend our frineds also that do hip hop music to master in your Mastering studio.

Sam, you are the Man!
I came to you to master one cd, and was amazed by how you first remixed and premastered the two tracks through your logic mixing console, that changed the sound of the entire CD to sound HUGE, polished and even better than major label cds out there!! And then when you mastered the tracks the CD simply sounded Amazing. I was so happy with what you did that I also got you to master my other two albums that were already mastered and you made them sound a 1000 times better than what I had. All I can say is that you certainly are the BEST Mastering Studio.

Elijah Saint

When I finished recording my first album "Rebirth" I thought it was complete until I met Mr. Sam Raymond at Mastering One Studios. I witnessed the magic and miracles of the word Mastering. I first compared the mastered album to the one that wasn't mastered. My analogy to describe my album now is like giving life to something that didn't have it. Truly for doing this I thank God for Sam who put the life force and color in my album and made it sound GREAT and comparable to all the major label CDs! Sam you certainly are the Best Mastering Studio around .

Christopher Brown

Mastering 1 is absolutely a God send. The experience was great, and even personal.
Not only was my music mastered to radio quality standards but, I received an education about Mastering, recording, pitch, level, etc. I left more confident about making mixes at home. Sam is a MASTER. He explains to you what he’s doing to your mix, and why it’s necessary. He does not rely on the equipment like a crutch. You see the experience he has. He shared his experiences with me and now I can use them for my benefit.
He’s cheap for very simple reasons. Humility and the love for Mastering are just two. Most Mastering guys can’t afford that!
I recommend Mastering 1 studio to anybody. Especially guys like me starting out.
I guarantee you will be more than satisfied. Thanks Sam!
P.S. Never judge a book by it’s cover.

Tyrone and La Dawn

Just a quick note of thanks about what a great Pre-Mastering and Mastering job you have done on our "Easy Does It" album. It sounds amazing! Also there is a lot of helpful mixing eq in your web site that helped me mix the album to sound great.
I will pass on your site to all my friends and everyone who I am sure will find it very valuable for their mixing and Mastering.
I also recommend your Mastering studio and services to all my friends and everyone. Thanks a million.

Tara Music

Over the past five years "Mastering 1" studio has mastered more than 60 compact discs for our label Tara Music. In addition to our newly produced audio recordings, he painstakingly de-clicked, re-digitized, enhanced and re-mastered more than twenty classic recordings transferred from Vinyl to disc. This includes the new release of a 6 CD set with the IMMORTAL CANTOR YOSSELE ROSENBLATT. Some of these selections were recorded as early as 1907.
Mr. Sam Raymond’s attention to the most minute details is remarkable and his masters stand as a testament to his ability.
