One of the first songs Evren mastered for me was a very open, old-school sounding, Ray Charles-esque type of song. He suggested using one of the classic Capitol Records echo chambers on the mix. My first thought was “that’s insane!” but my second thought was “that's cool! Let’s do it!” I realized quickly that I was working with a very creative, open-minded mastering guru. Since then, Evren has mastered well over 800 songs for me. It’s as if we’re on the same football team and I pass him the ball around the-30-yard line… and Evren runs it in the rest of the way for the goal!

Evren did fantastic work mastering my record and single. I've also heard his work on many other records and was quite impressed. I have recommended him to numerous musicians, and they have all been very happy with the results. Great guy too.

Evren is an extremely gifted mastering engineer who not only understands the technical requirements of mastering but also gets the artistic big picture of each project and goes the extra mile to get the right sound. I've had him work on very different projects (Jim Bianco's Sing album, Raining Jane's Paper Nest album, and several of my own wide-ranging productions) and have been extremely happy with the quality and musical integrity of the results.

We felt Evren’s accolades and tenure at Capitol Records would have him uniquely positioned as a knowledgeable authority on audio mastering… beyond the publication of Major Label Mastering: Professional Mastering Process, Evren has been an invaluable peer reviewer for us on a number of projects written by other authors in the field.
