"Dave Locke has both the experience and technical know how to take the sonic integrity of your project to its fullest potential. Mastering is a true science that requires not only
an insane amount of high end digital and analog hardware, but the all illusive
"golden ear". He's one of the best kept secrets in mastering!"

"Dave Locke is my top choice for mastering engineers, over the past year he has become my 'go to guy' for all of the projects that I produce, mix and engineer. i recommend him to all of my clients with great confidence and they have been extremely satisfied with the finished product. Its a great feeling as an engineer and mixer to know that someone like Dave can compliment your mixes in such a way that even I, who is extremely critical with my own work, can be blown away by the finished master that he sends. I often feel like I am listening to the songs and mixes for the first time again! I look forward to continuing to work with Dave as the years go on and find him such a pleasure to do business with!"
