Here's some comments from clients...

“Henry has been a delight to work with and has done a great job mastering our music. Our album "Holding Space" was proving difficult to master due to the complexity of the harmonics of the hammered dulcimer, but Henry breezed through this with no worries at all! We recommend Him to anyone wishing to get their music mastered and we will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks mate.”

“We just wanted to say thanks for the excellent mastering session you did this week for the Easychair CD. We’ve had a chance to evaluate the results in a variety of listening environments, and agree that you’ve done a fine job. You correctly identified the main problem with the original mixes and have set that right, so there’s now a good deal more energy and power in the songs, which flow track to track in the way they should.”

“The sound mastering Henry Smithson did for this recording was outstanding, getting a clear sound, without losing any of the natural acoustical warmth of the recording venue. Both the editing and mastering were done utterly profesionally with great 100% results and all in a very personable and involved manner too, highly recommended!”

“I am a newcomer to the producing business and after recording songs at our studio I knew I needed some expert help mastering. I am overwhelmed with the outcome and a pleasure to work with a master of his art.”

“I don't know how you do it Henry (Actually I do really) but You've done a FAB job on the above. 1st play on a Crap Sony iPhone Ghetto blaster minus Bass and I love it. Later on the Sony phones thru my top dollar Sony ES cd player. Can't wait! As I recorded these back in 2005 I've played them to death but It's a whole New wonderful experience now.”

“The Master! Always coming to you Henry for our mastering needs. You always give it what it needs to give it a fatter, fuller and balanced sound. See you soon for the next Hoopy offering! ”

“Henry mastered my four track EP "Sing for the Moment". The CD was recorded in different places, including a track recorded in the open air in Africa! Henry produced a work that sounded consistent and fantastic in all systems!
He was great to work with, listening and advising on our initial mixes, so that the mixing engineer could tweak it, and then I got my mastered tracks back within 48 hours! My CD also features a video produced by my band, and Henry made a "MASTER CD" that could be taken to the duplication plant. I have felt guided by an expert from mixing to final mastering, and cannot thank Henry enough!
All my tunes will be mastered by Henry from now on!!!
Thank you Henry! ”

“I thought I'd drop you a line to say that we are all very happy with the mastering job you did for us - it sounds great. We have just got the test pressing of the single back and that sounds fantastic too ... I will happily recommend you to any other musicians I come across who want their material mastered.”

“The first time we ever got our tracks mastered we realised it was the best thing we could ever do to get a professional finished sound. Henry has just been the finest set of ears we could hope for and we’ve been taking our stuff to him since 2005.  He’s fast, efficient and friendly.  If you’ve never done it, just find the money to get your tracks mastered and go and see Henry.  Do a few extra gigs, sell your Granny’s silver if need be.  It’s not expensive and it’s worth every penny”

“We have used Henry to master both our albums, "The Fellows Who Cut The Hay" and most recently "Release The Hounds" and on both occasions we have found him great to work with. Sitting in on the mastering with him and having a fresh set of ears listening out for discrepancies was really beneficial and the final product easily matches up to any mainstream record you hear on the radio.  What Ho indeed !”

"The editing process again was swift and utterly professional and potentially tricky edits came off wihout even a hint of them being there in the final version."

"Keith Richards described mastering as 'putting the fairy dust on your album' and sitting here in Sounds Good's small but perfectly formed mastering room as Henry Smithson tweaks my music I can only agree. Suddenly there are cool guitar and keyboard parts that had been lost in the mix revealing themselves and adding a new dimension to the track.
Mastering is an arcane art and the final bit of the process before your music is presented to the world so it's important to get someone who knows what they are doing.
I've have been in and around the music business for a fair few years and yes, there are swankier mastering studios but they cost a fortune. Sounds Good offers a superb service at a budget price. I have mastered two albums here and Henry Smithson has become Shadow Kabinet Minister for Mastering. Let him sprinkle some fairy dust on your music!"

“Henry Smithson at Sounds Good lifted the dull and flat sound of our live concert recording to something so dynamic that we could release it as a CD – excellent!”

“Henry, I can't stress enough how pleased I am with the final completion of my project. Everything sounds fantastic, and the mastering work you've done really does make it shine. Thanks for your hard work!”

“In my first experience of working with Sounds Good, I found the complete attention and patient help of Henry Smithson during the two day mastering process of my double album, rewarding and educative. I cannot praise his working methods highly enough.”
