TESTIMONIALS
“Martin gives unbelievable service, so easy to work with, never shuns your ideas but instead brings them to life. Can't wait to continue working with him”
- J.P. Riggall (Singer, songwriter)
“Martin is my favourite producer to work with. He has a great instinct for what a song needs, and the sort of approach a band needs in order to get the best out of the recording session. The atmosphere in his studio is always friendly and relaxed, but focused. He's a fantastic musician and a brilliant person.”
- Jon Melvin (The Union Choir, Class Gymnast)
“I've worked with Harbourmaster on several different projects now and will continue to do so for as long as my money stays good. He's got righteous engineering, producing, mixing and mastering skills, instrumental chops and if he worked at a hospital he would be the ultra-sound guy. The guy's a baller, a prince among men, a true legend of the game. Give him money for music stuff, there's no way you'll regret it.”
- Ross Harley (TANKENGINE, Yourcodenameis:milo)
“Working with Martin is awesome, genuinely a godsend. He helped me develop the ideas for our album over many months and helped create drum recordings that I often take the compliments for. The whole band loves him.”
- Kieran Rafferty (Lovely Assistant)
“We’ve worked with Martin on two releases so far and plan on working again with him the future. His ethos and attitude is admirable but most importantly he gets great sounding results. Through the course of our career in other bands, we’ve worked with a number of pretty famous engineers and producers and Martin has the same attitude of creating a comfortable and creative environment, staying out of the way of things are going well but offering constructive advice when things aren’t. He also works hard to ensure at the end your recordings sound like you, not what he wants bands to sound like. Anyone who’s endured the latter will know how refreshing that is.”
- Adam Hiles (TANKENGINE, Mammal Club, Yourcodenameis:milo)
“Harbourmaster is my go-to guy for all things mixing & mastering. Not only is his work always at a very high standard, his turn around time is also exceptional. You only have to look at the amount of times songs he's mixed have been played on BBC Radio to know how good his work is. He also has a great ear for adding/subtracting extra layers of your song, and is very good at putting ideas into practice.
- Jack Fox (Hivemind, rapper, comedian)
“I can not recommend Harbourmaster enough to anyone who is looking for the perfect studio to start their journey in recording. Not only does Harbourmaster make sure you get the exact sound you want and need for your track; he is patient and makes you feel welcome instantly! No matter what your music knowledge, Harbourmaster will adapt and tailor to your personal needs.”
- Faye Fantarrow (Singer, Song writer)
“I’ve worked with Martin on film soundtracks and sound effects, band recordings and session guitar/bass. Even though I don’t know the right musical terms to describe my aims, Martin helps me achieve what I’m looking for... only much better than I could imagine!”
“The support and time Martin gives the artists he works with is second to none. He’s extremely patient and always puts me at ease; I’m not a naturally gifted musician or singer so finding a producer that makes me feel relaxed is amazing.”
- Daniel Clifford (Amateur Ornithologist, Squares)
“Martin eased us into the recording environment with a laid back session where we were allowed to be hands on. He showed us step by step what he was doing with the tracks which really helped us to get a good understanding of the recording process.”
- Ben Richardson (Music promoter and member of Plastic Glass)
“I've had the pleasure of working with Martin on various projects and each time has been absolutely great! His experience is brilliant and he is always really helpful and professional along with creating a relaxed studio atmosphere which definitely makes the process of recording less nerve wracking. I would highly recommend working with him!”
- Cameron Snow (Palma Louca, Headclouds)
“We have used Martin and Harbourmaster Productions for my daughter Sophie and her music production over the last year or so to record her music. The outcome of these recordings have been amazing, the music production was fantastic, very professional, super quick & superb quality recording at a low budget price. Studio surroundings & Martin makes my daughter feel very comfortable. We are booked in to record again soon, and can’t wait to see more of Martin’s work & excellent service.”
