“Metropolis Studios has long had the reputation for being one of the world’s finest professional music recording facilities, but that’s really only half the story, the truth is you could not wish to do business with a nicer, more friendly, more professional bunch of folks than the team at Metropolis, both their facilities and dedication to customer service are absolutely first rate. Mike Hillier has mastered every single track I have ever released and always delivered amazing results. I would never in a 1,000 years ever consider going anywhere else, if you have music that needs recording or mastering, do yourself a favour and contact the team at Metropolis, it’s a decision you will never regret…”

“When I first heard the mastering that Tony did, I was really happy with how loud the tracks were as well as how the sound from my original mixes were subtly improved on and even more present. Not only that, but they were consistent throughout and I received them all two days after sending them over. Tony's stellar work on absolutely legendary albums is what brought me to Metropolis, and I'd love to work with him again.”
