What artists and the industry have to say about us...

I have had my music mastered by Joe for over 15 years now and have not only been happy with the work he has done over 9 albums, but love also to be in his presence. Such a calming personality and professional person to be around. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks for everything.

Bias B , Artist

The thing I love most about Joe's work is that it consistently has heart. I love the way he treats my mixes - they come back sounding better, while retaining my intentional mix decisions. Whether he's mastering for an indie mix, or a big budget project, Joe always takes the same amount of care. He makes my work sound better, and makes my clients happier! Thanks Joe!

Simon Moro, Producer - Ninetynine100.com

Joe is amazing to work with, he really listens to his clients needs. I came to him with a project that was in dire need of re-mastering. The previous two attempts did not measure up. Joe knocked it out of the park with his meticulous attention to detail. He understood our needs and delivered far beyond our expectations. Joe is one of the top mastering engineers around without a doubt! Thanks for a great result Joe, for anyone thinking of using Crystal Masterings, don’t think twice!

Mark Kelson, Producer/Educator - Kelsonic Studios

I've worked with Joe for many years now and have come to rely on him for his work and support across multiple artists and projects. Joe is incredibly thorough, reliable, fast and his work is second to none. We would be a little lost without Joe, he is a huge part of our processes for creating and releasing records and I feel very lucky to have him in our corner.

Julia Wilson, Brain Drain Management

Even though I'm from the UK, I found Joe because he's mastered some of my favourite records of late. I'd already been to 2 other engineers with my recent EP and wasn't 100% happy with the results. Speaking to Joe about my project, he was extremely kind and helpful. And as for the masters - I couldn't be happier. A perfect balance of the original mixes, but with extra clarity, punch and openness. It's like a blanket being lifted off and I can now hear the songs how I wanted them to sound. Absolute perfection. 110% would recommend.

Josh Westover, Artist

I've been producing albums for over 35 years and have had my work mastered by some of the best engineers in the world but having someone of Joe Carrà's talent here in my hometown of Melbourne is just a wonderful blessing! Every time I hear his masters it just makes me feel that I know what I'm doing because he always makes my mixes sound so good. The last five albums that Joe has mastered for me have all topped their respective ARIA charts and the new one he just mastered and about to be released looks like it will do the same. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my work.

Michael Christinao, Producer

I consistently love the work Joe does for me. His musical and artistic taste and his technical expertise and service are all exemplary. His clear and professional communication style and quick turnaround times are also greatly appreciated by my clients and I. He came to me highly recommended and I can't help but do the same to anyone else looking for a top shelf mastering engineer.

George Carpenter, Producer

Joe provides a holistic approach to working alongside artists, often going above & beyond his Job description to help execute your vision. I have had the pleasure of sitting in sessions & checking mixes interstate, either process has always been professional & never rushed. I have always commended Joe & his team on their human approach & I continue to return a decade later. Joe's ear is so diverse, combined with experience and his own love for good music makes for a perfect fit no matter your style or genre.
