Testimonials

 "Robert, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY OUTDONE YOURSELF. The recording of the Holiday Concert of our Coastal Communities Concert Band is the best EVER (as in the time the CCCB has been under my direction). You have become a permanent fixture with the CCCB as far as I'm concerned. The mixing of the quartets and duets was terrific. I will be sure to recommend your fantastic recording skills to the High School band directors in the area."

 "Robert Cartwright has been editing music for my projects for many years. His edits are excellent, especially with more difficult orchestral music. He's both highly creative and highly professional. He's absolutely my first choice for editing, and I highly recommend him and his work which can be heard all over the television and radio waves."

- Carl Peel (Executive Producer, Killer Tracks / Universal Publishing Production Music)


 "Robert Cartwright gets it. The band program at Point Loma Nazarene University has made 11 recordings in the last fifteen years. We have never used anyone but Robert in the recording and production of these projects. Robert's musicianship, dependability, understanding and care have been extraordinary. I cannot imagine using anyone else."

- Daniel Nelson (Director of Instrumental Studies, Point Loma Nazarene University)


 "Robert's the man! I could talk all day about the quality of work that Robert produced during our 6-yr stint working together, but it would be diminished by the nuanced detail that he took with such exuberant pride on each individual project... every time."

- Todd Kern (Marketing Director, Network Music-BMG/Killer Tracks-Universal Music Group)


 "Robert - Thank you for your great work. The Jazz album sounds great!"

 "I'm really enjoying it, and I think the mix is great, I gave Gerry a copy his reply was that so far the songs he's had a chance to hear sound great. Thanks for all the obvious time and diligence you put into everything, I really appreciate it. I will make sure and get a copy to you when I get the duplication and packaging all put together. I'll be in touch - thanks again Robert!
God bless, LT."

- Leonard Tucker (Vocalist)


 "Robert takes what I do and makes it sound better. Whatever I bring him, he somehow roots out its essence, eliminates the junk and creates pristine, sparkling projects. And, he does all this in a timely manner, at reasonable rates and with great professionalism, kindness and courtesy. He does what he says he is going to do and he delivers it when he says it will be delivered. You can't ask for more than Robert delivers! In this business, Robert is a star.
XOXOXO"

 "Robert Cartwright has been doing all of my mixing and mastering for several years now. As a composer and producer of children's music for audio CD and DVD, my arrangements are many times very intricate and delicate. But whether it's for a children's song, jingle or movie soundtrack, Robert's attention and sensitivity to the clarity and spatial position of every sound make mixing a rewarding creative process rather than a frustrating headache. Drawing from a vast library of the latest mastering tools he always has a solution for every audio problem we might face. He's fun to work with and his studio fees are extremely reasonable in today's market. I highly recommend Robert for any mixing or mastering needs."

 "Robert, I appreciate so much your skill, expertise, sensitivity, knowledge, and fairness you provided us on our album. Our project required a keen ear and eclectic taste to give the music what was needed in the mastering process. We are delighted in every way with the outcome."

 "I have worked with Robert on over ten projects spanning fifteen years and have never been disappointed in his skills as a recording and mastering engineer. His sense of humor and ability to say the right thing at the right time are indispensable in the studio environment. I would and do, highly recommend Bob as a producer, engineer and fine musician to boot!"

- Art Johnson (Recording Artist and Composer)

 "After having been personally tutored by Robert Cartwright on the operation and engineering nuances of my own small studio, I decided early on that I could totally trust Robert to bring out the best of my recording projects. His grasp of the technical matters and his understanding of the artistic needs of his clients (i.e., me) are unsurpassed. Robert has mixed and mastered most of my albums, and the results speak for themselves. I consider Robert a valued member of my band."

- Chris Vitas (Keltik Kharma)

 "I've worked with Robert for almost 10 years on numerous recording projects with my university choirs. He is truly a sound professional--reliable, punctual, and detail oriented in organization as well as production--who is also flexible, supportive, and fun to work with. He has always gone the extra mile to tailor his work to the unique needs and constraints of the individual project I am working on. I highly recommend Robert Cartwright as a recording production specialist."

- Keith Pedersen (Professor of Music, Choir Conductor, PLNU)


 "I've done a lot of recording with Robert over the years. In Robert Cartwright you have a rare combination of a great musician (guitar) and an excellent recording engineer. That means recording projects will not only be done correctly from a technical perspective, but musically as well. I look forward to many more successful recording sessions with him."

- Tommy Gannon (Pianist/Vocalist)


 "I have made two recordings with Robert Cartwright and each time I have worked with him the results have been stellar. I was incredibly impressed that, knowing the idiosyncrasies of the hall in which we record, he added some noise reduction software for that hall which improved the clarity of the recorded sound. Listening to hours and hours of recorded material featuring your own work can be grueling, but if you have to do it, you want to do it with someone like Robert, who will give you the best sound quality possible and will also have the humor and grace to get you through it without going completely bonkers!"

- Juliette Singler (Associate Professor of Music, PLNU)


 "After the good, but necessarily hurried production done by radio and TV stations, I was impressed that Robert Cartwright spent the time to get six music pieces 'just right' to weave into just one radio commercial. He instinctively went for the gold, using the best equipment. And for a very nominal rate, far less than the going rate for just one commercial on some stations. In addition, this gentle, clever, patient man is a pleasure to work with."

Gratefully,

 "Robert Cartwright helped me record 7 CDs for patients in convalescent hospitals who are very ill or dying. This means that a lot of my listening audience have hearing difficulties, and can become agitated by various sounds that are high pitched, or are not soothing to them. He and his wife, Rita, used to volunteer their music to these patients in hospitals, so he knew exactly what I was after. The first thing I learned about Robert is that he is a perfectionist. This is a very important quality that is needed if you want to record music/vocals. He brought about a beautiful balance of sounds throughout my instrumentals, vocal singing, and narrative prayers that are on my CDs - not to mention the nature sounds as well. Over 12,000 titles have sold over the years, and are being used internationally as therapy - bedside to patients who have been forgotten and near death. He's the best!"

 "I just wanted to also say what a pleasure it was working with you, and thank you for the fantastic job you did. I can't even remember now where all the places were that you patched, it sounds so good! I have had many good comments on the CD, and my piano technician, to whom I gave a copy, said that I had an excellent sound technician; he loved it! Thanks again, and I hope we have the chance to work again sometime!"

- Brenda Martin (Adjunct Piano Professor, Point Loma Nazarene University)


 "Robert - Thanks again for your services on this project. It was a joy working with you."

- David Best (Towel & Basin Ministries, Nashville)


 "Robert Cartwright is a true professional in the area of recording, mixing and mastering. He has been involved in six of my recording projects. His editing is superb; the detail work Robert puts into this process is amazing. He is enjoyable to work with and is extremely reliable. I highly recommend Robert to you for your recording needs."

Blessings,
- Victor Labenske (Professor of Music, PLNU)


 "Over the years Robert has mastered three of my CDs and has done a wonderful job. I have been impressed with his speed, knowledge, ear, and the meticulous manner he employs in handling the project. The pride he has in his work can be heard on the final cut. I would recommend him to anyone."
