“When you find a mastering setup that works as well as Fluid you are more than happy to shout it from the rooftops. Whenever it is my decision or if anyone asks for a recommendation I instantly say to go to these guys; mastering that isn’t just about making things loud and that respects and understands the mix and song. Results are always a 3D, HD, bigger, better version of what I came in with and Tim and Nick are a joy to work with, consultative and beyond expert in their field”
Phil English – Producer & Sound Engineer: Feeder, Biffy Clyro, Athlete, McFly
“Nick is amazing; truly amazing…”
Alan McGee – 359 Music , Creation Records, Poptones
“Mastering is the final stage of making recordings. I think it’s vital. It’s the last chance to pull all the tracks together, and make them flow as a listening experience. Tim Debney at Fluid has mastered two albums for me, plus various singles, and including Alison Moyet’s current album, “The Minutes”. I’m very impressed by the results. I’d warmly recommend Fluid to anyone.”
Guy Sigsworth – Producer: Alison Moyet, Madonna, Björk, Frou Frou, Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir
” I love using Fluid Mastering as the attention to detail and the care taken over every step, always take my mixes to the next level. Awesome expertise, awesome equipment.
Seriously safe hands.”
Jon Cohen – Producer: Military Wives, Hayley Westenra, Myleene Klass, Vanessa Mae
“Nick Watson and the team at Fluid Mastering are without equal in terms of the service they offer for remastering. Not only do they offer impeccably improved and/or restored sound quality but they are also wonderfully adept in dealing with clients’ needs during attended sessions.”
John Reed – Label Manager at 359 Music & Cherry Red Records
“I have known and worked with Nick and Tim for over 10 years… I trust them with any genre of music… and my Children! They both have beautiful ears!”
Joe Smith – Production Manager for Rough Trade Records and XL Recordings
“Thanks again for doing a great job… The positive reactions have been overwhelming and I think the sensitive mastering made a huge difference;
I’m very confident playing it on any system.”
Sam Mills – Producer: Susheela Raman
“We loved what you did with our album. You worked very hard and did a perfect job.”
Paul Hoad – Suntrap
“Consistent brilliance is what you want from your mastering engineer and don’t Fluid know it. Whilst I’m reclining on my sun lounger, Nick’s beavering away with the weeding, locating all my smelly socks and scouring the gremlins from those hard to reach places. It’s quite a marvel. Everything comes back sounding twice as expensive while being both painless and criminally cheap. And they never seem to fuck up. How do they do it?”
Joe Leach – Producer and Owner: The Cowshed Studio, London
“…has even made our mixing sound good…”
Chuck – The Correspondents
“I have been very lucky to work with Nick at Fluid Mastering on several occasions over the years. I’ve always been blown away by his incredible eye for detail, whilst maintaining an intuitive, highly musical and tasteful approach to mastering. He also allowed me to be involved in the process (in my own uneducated way), which was immensely reassuring – it was great to be part of such an important part of the album-making process. The studio also offers a comfortable working environment, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been able to recommend him to several colleagues and they’ve had a similar experience. And all in all, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
