Any good mixer builds up their name based on their credits.

Hiring a company sounds too general to me. Who's mixing it? The interns?

Even when I hire one of the top Mastering houses in the world, Sterling Sound, I still hire one of the mastering engineers specifically. I don't just give it to the company.

Good luck.

+1. I just don't get why you'd want to hire a specific studio. It's the ears that matter.
On my page you won't find info on what gear I use. And I use top gear.
It's not important to the client. The outcome matters.

It should not be important to the clients, but a few ask for a gear list before they even listen.
Aside from those many who snark about a lack of gear listed on competitor's pages have a big
issue I think. They are not happy with their own sound. So "gear bragging' is their only option.
Luckily for most clients, final product is what matters. I think Fletcher said it best way back...
Something like 'Nobody walks down the street whistling (insert expensive vintage gear name).'

Love'd it!! +10
