E.D. Smooth Testimonial
"Wow, great job man!  I definitely made the right choice going with your company!"
 
John Rogers, Big Label Sound Studio
E.D. Smooth came to me with a collection of Jamaican hip-hop tunes that were good, but like all raw song mixes, needed solid mastering from a top notch sound engineer. That’s where I came in!
 
I applied several mastering techniques to each song, which included fattening up the bass and giving it a bigger punch. Like always, the end results were great!
