Testimonials

“Eric is the best. We’ve worked together for years, he’s always been easy to work with and does an amazing job. I know that when I get a master back from him, it’s going to sound incredible and elevate the mix.”

Peter Fenn — Multi-Platinum Songwriter & Producer
“I've worked with Eric on multiple scores and songs, including Marvel’s Hit Monkey, M.O.D.O.K., and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, and every time the experience has been seamless. His attention to detail is outstanding, and what I appreciate most is how deeply he respects the vision of the music. He doesn't try to reinvent it or change the direction of the mix, yet he always elevates it and makes it shine. He is collaborative, musically sensitive, and a pleasure to work with.”

Daniel Rojas — Composer & Co-Writer (K-Pop Demon Hunters)
“Eric is thoroughly dependable, knowledgeable, loyal, supportive, positive and industrious… [At The Producers Lab] we look to Eric as one of our main sources to keep us on the cutting edge of music and recording technology. This is a function of his admirable focus on constantly perfecting his talents and competencies.”

Richard "Wolfie" Wolf — Emmy Award–Winning Film & Television Composer, Multi-Platinum Producer
Working with Eric is great! Both on my own projects and with artists I’ve produced and passed along for him to finish. He has a deep understanding of the process and stays current with evolving technology, which makes him easy to trust. As a musician and serious music fan, he pulls from so many eras and applies that sensibility to a modern landscape. I’d trust him with artists across genres without hesitation. His mixes are loud and thick while still dynamic and clear, and they translate well on every system I play them on.

Nick Smith — Producer, Songwriter & Vocalist
Mr. Bard is my mix/master guru! I get a lot of value from learning about my mixes on each project I work on with Eric as not only does he provide a pristine finished product, but he also describes what he did and is open to questions. Mixes/Masters are always fat and juicy with a strong emphasis on supporting a vocal/song (as he is a talented writer/producer as well). Basically I get things as far as I can on my own, and Eric takes it to the finish line. Would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of mixing or mastering services.
