Super fast and straight to the point! Did a master on my track and made it sound like it was recorded in a million dollar studio! Did amazing work, and was fast and easy to communicate with. Would recommend 10/10.

Everything is crystal clear and loud. The instruments became more pronounced while still allowing the vocals to shine through. Absolutely phenomenal job. Ruben certainly knows what he is doing — will be using him in the future. 10,000 stars.
C@cbm618031 year on EngineEars
To anyone looking for an engineer that will ask lots of questions in order to get the sound you're looking for, Ruben should be a go-to. He made sure, before he began mastering my tracks, that he knew exactly what I was going for. He clearly used my references — the final product sounds like exactly what I wanted.

Excellent work by Ruben yet again! Not only is he phenomenal skill-wise, but an excellent person to work with as well.
S@seanferguson2241 year on EngineEars
Ruben is the only engineer who could get the sound I asked for — super underrated and talented.
Nnix3 years on EngineEars
Timely, communicative, patient.
K@kylerbutton3 years on EngineEars
Ruben made the experience quick and easy. 100% recommend.
D@dexty9 months on EngineEars
This is a dope track! The high vocal sample and my lower vocal mix work really well together here — one of the few times boosting the highs doesn't hurt, since the frequency relationship between the beat and vocals blends so well.
