Spencer is a cheat code. I remember the first time we ever worked together. He did a test mix for me, out of nowhere really. I was skeptical, so I sent the same song to an engineer that I had usually been working with. Well, needless to say, that engineer couldn’t come close, but he also couldn’t explain why. That’s how I knew. After that Spencer and I developed an instant connection. Having never actually met in-person, he understood my musical brain instantly and knew exactly what to do to bring my music fully to life. I’ve learned a ton from him, and will probably never pay anyone else but him to work on my records as long as we’re both alive.

It’s really mysterious that someone with strong taste and style in his music can handle any kind of sound or genre. He’s not only a great engineer, but also a very talented producer. That’s why I love and respect how he reads the music. He always try to solve the puzzle to elevate the project with the eyes of both engineer and producer. Exchanging opinions and feedback about music with him is always reasonable, productive, and so satisfying. After every single session I learn a lot from him. Especially doing stem mastering with him, it’s chef’s kiss literally perfect. If you are not sure, just let the doctor do the sound surgery.

No one understood the sound we wanted better than Spencer. We even blind-tested different mastering engineers and Spencer came out on top every time! It’s great to work with someone who brings the song to life in exactly the way we want it. Aside from his technical and creative skill, he is a pleasure to work with and is always keen to help and offer advice.

I’ve been working with Spencer for a number of years now, and he’s become my first call when a project needs a Mastering Engineer. He delivers quickly and with a consistent quality that few others I have worked with can match. Someone who is comfortable with a range of genres and can still understand and preserve the original intent of a mix is worth every penny.

I’ve been working with Spencer Martin for six years, and he has been instrumental in my transformation from artist to music producer over the last four years. His ability to turn my rough drafts into beautifully mixed masterpieces is pure magic. Spencer’s technical skills are top-notch, but what really stands out is how he takes care of you throughout the process. He listens closely to my vision, isn’t afraid to push back to provide some objectivity, and adds that special sprinkle of creativity I didn’t even know I needed. It’s clear that this mixing wizard truly loves what he does. If you want high-quality mixes delivered in a fun atmosphere, definitely reach out to Spencer.

Spencer sonically elevated my music to another level with his ability to hear a mix and polish it into something fresh. He breathes air and life into your songs. I’ve worked with Spencer on more than five records because I don’t trust anyone else to do the job as well as him. Spencer leaves a unique, honest, and vibrant sonic print to the track that you simply can’t find elsewhere.

Spencer Martin has become an essential part of our workflow. Knowing that the end result will consistently turn out better than you imagined and getting that new master is like Christmas morning every time. Having worked with a handful of mastering engineers over my career, I can tell you there’s just something special about the Spencer sound that brings out the best in your mix. He has always been easy to communicate with and getting results within my deadline is a breeze. At the end of the day, a lot of things in the business can be a headache, but fortunately for me, mastering my music is not one of them.

Spencer Martin is the real deal, a true artist and professional. There is a “Spencer Sound” we talk about in Canton, and it’s all over many of my favorite records; powerful, clean, & full of creativity beyond the call of duty. Spencer’s respect for artists and his devotion to superior sound have elevated the music scene. Other qualities I admire in him are his organization, patience, astute listening, and fast-paced turn-around. Every project Spencer has touched has been nothing short of professional-grade, stellar, & exciting. Spencer has my full recommendation and I am proud to call him a colleague.

I have worked with Spencer Martin on three separate projects. After the first album my band Time Cat did with him, we kept coming back for more of that Spence magic! Not only is he up for all-day, every day intense sessions, he does it with an infectious joy for creating. Spencer becomes like another band member with his inventive arrangements, an ear for creating atmospheric soundscapes, and a perfectionist attention to detail. After working with him, you come out with a great project and a new friend.

I’ll let you in on something about Spencer. He’s a perfectionist. Hands down, this is who you want giving your music its final engineering touches. Spencer’s ear for quality and small details always amaze me, which is probably why I’ve been a very happy client of his for over 8 years now. I can’t tell you how many complements I’ve received on the quality of my engineering over the years, and it’s thanks to him. The only advice I have as a client is to book far in advance because it’ll break your heart when he’s busy! He’s that good. You won’t want to go to anyone else ever again!

I’ve really enjoyed working with Spencer on my projects. His mixes have always been so enjoyable to listen to. Spencer mixes like a musician, which is rare among many engineers. You can mix in a technical way, using science and plugins, but it’s another different world to mix as a musician who also understands the science. Spencer does both. On top of that, Spencer is timely and professional. I don’t have to prod him or send him friendly reminder emails about getting work done. He is exceptionally fast, and does the edits quickly as well. And finally, Spencer is just a really all around nice guy – always a pleasure to work with. If you want your mixes to sound great and also musically pleasing, Spencer is your dude. 

The Spencer Martin production experience is like seeking out a wizard, mythical figure, or ancient martial artist legend to further your training. When he drops knowledge during your session (relating to his process, philosophies, or general conversation), it’ll leave you hungry for more. Not only will he elevate your project, but along the way he’ll put you in the driver’s seat during the process, allowing you to hear what he hears. His zen-like approach to music, sound engineering, and production leaves endless possibilities.

I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of working with Spencer Martin for about 6 years now. He has become my full-time mastering engineer for my project. I’ve worked with other engineers throughout the course of my career and no one else has come close to his talent, efficiency, work ethic, and overall musicality. I’m constantly pleased and amazed with his mixes as well as each track that he masters for me. The clarity, professional sound, and level of excellence in how he effectively brings out every sound in my mix could not be more satisfying as a client.

Spencer’s signature sound and feel is an integral part of every project I’ve had him mix. No matter what the style is, I have watched him open up the sonic landscape in creative and subtle ways that give the recording more depth, more mystery, more allure. He is a wellspring of creative ideas during the mixing process, but he never becomes attached to them. Working with Spencer on a mix feels like true co-creation!

Working with Spencer has been great. I can say that with confidence as we’ve done so on multiple occasions. His respect for our creative direction and suggestions made regarding the little things made a big impact on our records. It also made him more like a member of the band rather than solely a producer/engineer.

Spencer Martin tracked, mixed, and helped produce my 2016 full-length album and I couldn’t be happier. The quality of his work is just one facet of why Spencer is an ideal producer and engineer; his ability to connect with the artist is what truly sets him apart.
