Clients and Testimonials
The following are testimonials from real Hacienda Audio clients. No payment or services of any kind were made in exchange for these reviews.
Mr Bill - Artist, DJ, Instructor
“Matt has helped me place acoustic treatment in the correct places using his sterling handyman work, he’s also helped me with speaker/mix position placement & room alignment (via programming filters in REW to be loaded into a miniDSP box). Pretty much all acoustics work (really good acoustics work!) Actually, in a few weeks, Matt’s flying out to sf to help me with my new studio there.
He’s a super friendly guy & always willing to work with what’s available. He somehow is always able to get really great results doing so.
I recommend Matt to everyone.”
Greg Oerlemans - Mastering Engineer, Sound Designer
“Matt came in and he blew my mind. Originally it was online consulting, we were going to talk about how we were going to make this room sound better. He ended up coming out because that’s what we thought would be better. It sounds so phenomenal… The final product is just out of this world. It’s nothing like I’ve heard before, or ever got to sit in a room… and say “this is mine?”
I’ve been a DIY guy my whole life. My temporary studio prior to this I did myself. And although doing it myself helped at some point, it’s very important to understand the difference between learning your self and just having a professional do it. I can confirm what I would have done versus what Hacienda Audio did is somewhere in the 90% range of improvement in sound. These are just things you can’t learn from Online or YouTube.
Matt is incredibly professional and knowledgeable in acoustics and I’m very thankful to have had him design The Lion’s Den Mastering. ”
Micke - Artist, Producer, DJ
“Matt Davis of Hacienda has become my go to mastering studio for all my work. Matt’s work is second to none. Not only has Matt become my primary mastering engineer, I’ve gone as far as making the labels I work with contractually obligated to use his services…. because I want the best. Matt / Hacienda is that good.
It’s because of Matt’s services that my music has gone to the next level. Of the dozen or so tracks he has mastered for me, all but one became a featured track on Beatport. In addition, six of them have been on Beatport’s Top 20 releases, with two of them in the Top 5. These results are largely because of Matt’s attention to detail that borderlines on perfection. He provides details as to what he has done to improve your work and he will consult with you if
