Clients Testimonials
Here are reviews from some artists, producers and engineers who have entrusted us with their music.
Greetings, I am Steve E. Morel, French living in Mongolia since 2014, and I just released my first album, played on an "Ikel" which is a pretty much unknown instrument from central Asia. How blessed was I to find Chroma to work WITH me on this album. Because let me stress it, Chroma will not work for you, he will work WITH you, all the way! As it was my first album (and considering my insane level of perfectionism) the process took some time, and Chroma's patience was absolutely an anchor for me. Added to this, his passion, professionalism dedication, and even emotional support were absolutely mind blowing! I can very easily say that it was the most human "work relation" I had in years, if not decades... Chroma will not only bring your music to the next level, but he will also light the fire of its soul! He will also help you bring out the best of yourself, always pushing to the next level until the quality finally reaches its apogee. As for my project, even thought it was probably quite far from his usual work, Chroma took the challenge with genuine curiosity, kindness and a lot of heart. I can really feel that this album is also quite a bit of his! If I could dare a movie reference comparison.. may I have been Frodon walking to the fire of mount doom, Chroma would be my Sam all the way !! 😀 Anyhow, I could not recommend this beautiful human being enough. Because when it comes to music, heart is what matter the most... not just technicality, or skills, or gear.. but heart! And Chroma has a lot of it to share! I really wish you all the success you deserve mate! and cannot wait working on the next album with you! : )) Huzza!

Cefe is an audio engineer who clearly loves what he does. I needed a single mastered for use on Spotify and other streaming services, and Cefe was recommended to me by my mixer (Ben Worsey from Everland studios). I reached out to Cefe via his website and in a matter of days I had exactly what I was hoping for - a polished product which still sounds exciting after multiple listenings. Highly recommended to anyone who needs mastering. In my opinion his rates are extremely good considering his fast response times and the attention to detail he puts in to his work.
Harrison Jones
I cannot recommend Cefe's services enough. I work with a few different bands and solo projects and was used to doing all the work myself. Cefe and I started chatting and his enthusiasm and love for music was apparent from the start. Another set of ears when it comes to music production is something you can never have enough of and Cefe doesn't just want to be another set of ears as much as a partner in the process. I'm excited to work with Cefe in the coming future and am happy to have his input in my upcoming releases!
Nicholas Mentillo
As a mixing engineer, I was thoroughly impressed with Cefe's mastering work. Cefe nailed the mastering of the song, striking the perfect balance between volume and punch. This approach made the track sound impactful without being overdone. Can't wait for our next collaboration. His expertise is a valuable final touch to my production process. - Simon, Soundhit Production
Simon Hribovšek
I could not recommend Cefe highly enough. He took the time to give feedback on my mix and make adjustments before mastering which was really helpful. It felt like you had someone working with you who really wanted to get the best result. I’m so happy with how it turned out and so glad I got it professionally mastered by Cefe. Worth every cent.
Matt Astles
I've worked with several other engineers for mastering services but I'd say Cefe is the first one who gave me advice on my mixes. As a growing producer getting that feedback and advice was just what I needed to be comfortable with shipping him my mix. His mastering services and professionalism was unmatched.
Nathan Keeys
First off, Cefe Flynn offers a FREE sample of your mastered track BEFORE committing. That to me, was '5-stars' right out of the gate as an artist. It made me feel confident enough that this was an actual human person vs. these online quick-mastering services that really haven't a clue to true post-production done in genuine form. Cefe was awesome to deal with on a personal level and made my track sound like a major production recording by polishing some of the vocal areas (not auto tune) and keeping the mix within the decibel proximity. I plan on using his services for all of my tracks moving forward! If you don't believe me, then request a SAMPLE of your mastered track from Cefe Flynn Mastering and you'll hear the difference!
Jerry Brantner
I just had my first mastering experience with Cefe, and he did a superb job. I had recorded two other albums previously, but this was the first one I mixed entirely on my own, and before we even started the process, he gave me great pointers about how I could optimize my mix to guarantee the best possible outcome. Cefe was professional, patient, and worked with me every step of the way to ensure a great final product. I was not disappointed, and you won't be either! Highly recommended.
Travis Colby
Cefe provided prompt, responsive and excellent mastering services, communicating with me throughout the process to ensure his masters remained true to my vision for the album, while still bringing his own ear and skill to the tracks. His fine ear gave my tracks a wonderful extra level of depth, clarity and resonance, while retaining the intended feel and vibe of the music. Would highly recommend!
JD Roberts
Cefe is a highly skilled audio engineer and great communicator. I strongly recommend Chroma Mastering for anyone looking to polish and publish their music. The price was reasonable and he worked within our budget. Communication was smooth and always prompt. So if you want great sounding songs that are tailor-mastered to your vision and executed in a timely manner - Chroma Mastering is for you!
Zachary Stevenson
Cefe did a fantastic job on my latest project. He knew exactly what we were after and his communication was always prompt and nothing short of excellent! Loved how he provided initial samples of tracks as well as recommendations on how to make the overall release sound coherent. Will definitely be using his services again for future masting jobs! Thanks Cefe!
Alex Toh
This was the first time I worked with Cefe and it was a very pleasant experience! Cefe provided me some feedbacks on my mix and how I can improve the mix. I really appreciate that!! Cefe was also pretty quick and stuck to the timelines he provided. I really enjoyed the experience and of course, his work was top notch. I would definitely work again.
Attack on Anxiety
I worked with Cefe on our current release (PORT NASIM - It's Murky Grey) . There was a blind understanding about what I wanted. We had a really nice phone call where we talked about music in general and many other things. He did a testmaster for me and I was stunned: NOTHING to complain... Almost scary;) So he did the remaining 6 songs and the result is incredible: He kept a lot of the dynamics of the mixes, smoothed out some edges and corners, gave everything the common flow. Exactly what the songs needed and what I wanted. This time I wasn't surprised: NOTHING to complain. We kept the first versions and they will be released like that! Highly recommended!
Frank Schilbach
I recently worked with Cefe in my album and I'm really happy with the results and the experience overall.Attention to detail, great communication, and most importantly he cared about the final result of my music. He kindly gave me some useful tips & advice about the mixing and things that can be improved. Very patient as he gives you the chance to correct and tweak whatever it's needed to get the best result for your music....
Chris Andrade
Cefe knew exactly what my song needed and was able to describe that to me perfectly. I knew then exactly what he was going to do and how my song would turn out. It actually turned out better than expected. Interestingly, my recording was more live and minimal than most and he was able to appreciate what I was trying to achieve and enhance it. In my search for a mastering service I wasn't able to find this anywhere else...
Look Mum No Bands
Cefe was so easy to work with and he produced outstanding results when mastering my songs. He took time to chat to me over the phone to get an understanding of our needs and provided lots of opportunities for adjustments based on our feedback. We didn’t need it, however, since it sounded perfect the first time. If you are looking for superior mastering with a personable touch you can’t go past Chroma Mastering.
Ceeds
Cefe was a pleasure to work with from the initial sample master he provided to the completion of my EP. With prompt communication, valuable feedback, genuine interest in the needs of the artist, and a high-quality final product – all for a very reasonable price – I could not be happier with my decision to let Cefe help me put the final touches my most recent project. Thank you, Cefe! Keep up the great work!
Richard Drew
Not only did Cefe do an absolute fantastic job mastering my track but i also found him very professional to work with and would recommend him to anyone. Not only did he get it spot on 1st time he also managed to beat all the online mastering algorithms and my mix buss ( Ozone 9 ). i can't thank him enough for his work and input. I was glad to have had this experience!
damien owens
Cefe is a legend!He happily dedicated time and effort to make sure the project turned out great and was always patient and kind.He also deserves huge props for the FREE MASTERING SAMPLE service that he offers to his customers.Cefe Flynn Mastering deserves lots of attention and I would definitely recommend.Thanks again Cefe!
Slow Wave
I’ve used Cefe Flynn’s mastering service by recommendation for two of my releases this year. Cefe provides a very fast and accessible service which delivers consistently good results. I intend to utilise Cefe’s services for my future music releases, and I’d happily recommend him to anyone else looking for the same.
Michael Stephens
Cefe did a fantastic job of creating the masters for my band's album. The process was quick, easy and very straightforward, not to mention the affordable rates offered by his service. We were very happy with what we received as our masters and look forward to enjoying the same experience in the near future.
Jaxon Italiano
Cefe is professional, kind, and a very skilled engineer! They managed to even complete my order early, and gave thoughtful feedback on my mix prior to the final master. Thank you for adding the finishing touches to my song 🙂 His prices are also super affordable given the quality of his work!
Ramy Zhang
Working with Cefe was a great experience for me. We talked on the phone beforehand to introduce ourselves and go over the general ideas we each had for the songs. Then, Cefe quickly finished the first version of the masters (within a few days), and subsequently listened to and was patient with any notes that I had about minor details - none of which were really mastering-specific issues but were moreso subjective things or mix changes. These were also revised pretty much by the next day, and we were in constant communication via email. Overall, the process was very easy and Cefe is fun to work with. And my songs sounded much better at the end of the process!
Cody Piper
Cefe found us online (Echo Kid) and reached out about wanting work with us. We knew having someone enthusiastic about our music was a mastering engineer we'd prefer. My partner and I mix and produce our own music and during the entire process Cefe was abundantly helpful in giving us mixing suggestions without undermining our artistic vision. He ran our tunes through some wonderful analog compressors that really brought new life to the work. Not to mention, his prices you can't beat and he's such a pleasant man! Two thumbs up...
Brendan McHale
Great, affordable mastering option!I've used AI mastering services before but you really can't beat the service and flexibility of having someone to talk about your music with!Cefe had a great understanding of what we had conceptualised and was easy to speak to about revisions.I would absolutely recommend this service if you are looking for an affordable way to have a master done by a someone who will care about your project.
Liam Fitzgerald
My first EP was a big deal. When there are literally tens of thousands of good mastering engineers, it is difficult to find the right one. Cefe made my choice an easy one. His work ethic, philosophy and honest, constructive feedback is what did it for me - even before he did the master. The end result could not have been better. I not only recommend him; he is my "go to" guy for the next project.
Victor Levesque
Cefe is excellent at Mastering tracks and am have been happy with the work he has done for my tracks. I was looking for a mastering business that was reputable and experienced in the music industry and Cefe has that, he has been more than wonderful and the best professional mastering man. I highly recommend Cefe Flynn Mastering. Definitely thr best one based in Sydney.
