Stone Lion Productions2024-10-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm thrilled I found Josh to help me build a music studio for recording. I don't know what I'd have done if I didn't find Josh. He is the perfect music professional I needed. Josh certainly has the requisite knowledge to help me make the studio work, and sound amazing. And he's so cool about it. Josh is easy to work with, patient, and accommodating about helping me to understand the capabilities of the equipment I have. I've learned a metric ton from him so far. And I hope to work with him mastering the music I compose. Josh was the enabling and knowledgeable professional I needed. I recommend him to anyone who needs professional sound and mastering engineering. He's that dude. Hygiene2024-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED If you're looking for someone who's easy to work with and actually knows what they're doing with mixing & mastering, then Shirty Mastering is your place. I make hip-hop music. It's been difficult finding a mixing & mastering engineer that knows the genre enough and has enough talent to get the sound I'm after—all within my tight budget. Josh listened carefully to my input and requested a few reference tracks. I sent those to him and talked about what I liked about each one. Then, we went back and forth a few times on the mix, while Josh listened to my feedback and made sure he understood it before responding. I noticed I had sent some broken stems, and Josh was able to accept replacements mid-process. Then, in mastering, we only needed one round of feedback to get to the final that I am very happy with. Not only was it an enjoyable process, but it feels like a working relationship I can get into my workflow for ongoing tracks. I'm looking forward to working with Shirty Mastering on my next release : ) Mary Merritt2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is extremely smart and experienced with both mixing and mastering, but he also has a brilliant producer mindset and can give thoughts and recommendations that are extremely thoughtful. He's big on asking you about your goals so all of his recommendations are aligned with them. I highly, highly recommend Shirty Mastering. Nobody will ever be disappointed because the team at Shirty simply doesn't let that happen. Andrew Beavers2024-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh went out of his way to record my performances and then master my tracks. He's easy to work with, really listened to my input, provided lots of good ideas, and ultimately produced a great set of tracks that represent the sound I was looking for. And, he's reasonably priced. Highly recommended! Elizabeth Sanie2024-04-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Josh is a thorough instructor, with an awesome vibe!

Josh was a pleasure to work with and he clearly knows his stuff. Making an appointment was easy and he was flexible with my limited availability. When he arrived at my home, he jumped right into the lesson with eagerness and excitement. I appreciated his energy and his ability to pause, answer questions, help me with my project, etc. He was full of knowledge and willing to share everything he possibly could with me as fast as I was able to listen and keep up. I highly recommend hiring Josh to shortcut your learning curve and accelerate your ability to create music.

My 15-year-old son is taking lessons with Josh Shirt and it has been a fantastic experience! Josh is extremely knowledgeable about Ableton and has a great teaching style that makes the learning process both fun and productive. Cristina Birkel2023-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Josh about his mastering service with mix feedback. He communicated promptly and thoroughly, and was clear about what the process and the timeline would be. And then he followed through! His concise feedback on my mix made for a definite improvement, and then during mastering he was able to bring out an extra richness in my track that was lacking in the mix. He did a good job of listening to my feedback as well and making some adjustments. I'm very happy with the result!! Great experience overall.Load more
