Tornaghi never ceases to amaze me. When you think that your mix is sounding good, he just brings it to a whole new level. When you think your mix is sounding bad, he saves the day and makes you sound like a pro. It's always a magic moment when you get your master from Tornaghi, and a guarantee of big smiles

Excellent sounding master setup for audio, video, streaming & mp3. Luiz did an amazing job taking time to explain each choice in eq and compression. I look forward to my next session.

Luiz as always did a fantastic job in our previous mix feedback session that gave me so specific areas to rectify the mix was transformed which allowed him to get the absolute most out of the song during our mastering session. I couldn’t be more happy with the final result.

Luiz did a great job with the master, enhancing the low end and bringing more character and texture to the vocal. It was really cool to sit in on the session and learn a thing or two from him.
