Phil Demetro (Lacquer Channel)

dantheman360 · 17th February 2010

This is my second time getting my material mastered by someone other than me. The first time was with Luc Tellier who did a really great job considering the fact that he doesn't specialize in mastering.

I sent my new song over to Phil Demetro. I must admit, at first I was a bit nervous, considering the fact that mastering isn't cheap for small artists such as myself. After hearing the end result, I now realize it's worth every penny. As long as I can break even every time I release a new single on iTunes, I'll continue getting my stuff mastered by a pro.

He did a fantastic job, was patient and listened to my input. He nailed exactly what I was going for. The song now sounds "right", it makes sense sonically and emotionally.
He and Jessica (who takes care of booking at Lacquer Channel) were a pleasure to deal with.

Overall a great experience and I look forward to sending more stuff their way in the future!

Well done.
You're in good hands with Phil. He takes the craft very seriously. Now go make some money with it.

Phil has done a couple of my tracks/albums and he is now my go to guy in Canada. Heck of a nice guy and willing to go that extra mile to ensure you're happy with the ends results.

Beautiful mastering room, too!
