“Awesome recording studio! Uber pro!”

“WOW, Kevin you and Caleb (our graphic designer) are Geniuses!! I LOVE THIS COVER WORK and the CD art. Wow Wow Wow … did I say WOW?!”

” …I’m so thankful for all the help I’ve had along the way! I want to give a special shout out to Kevin Nettleingham of Nettleingham Audio! He’s been an amazing partner in the process, and a kinder, more practical pro, I’ve yet to meet! Dude, you are a rock star!…”

“Thanks Kevin, the master rocks. It’s crisp and clear, I wish I could have sat in on the sessions, Aaron has been raving about his experience.”

“…I’m listening to my album… and I couldn’t help but credit you with what I am hearing. To make a long story short, you have have made me into a real musician, and I can’t thank you enough. When I record with you, my stuff sounds like my favorite albums. I feel like any legacy I may leave will be a result of your production. You are a genius at what you do and I am so lucky to have found you; I am so excited to continue working with you.

That’s all. I just wanted to write and say ‘thank you’ and to let you know that, in my eyes, you are one of the most talented and skilled producers working today. I can’t wait to finish this album with you.”

“I just want to say THANK YOU for all the work you have put into these, I think they sound $#&*ing amazing, and I know that it’s mostly because of your expertise.  Definitely the best thing I have ever been a part of, and thank you for all the hard work. Seriously.”

“The mastered CD sounds phenomenal! … I love it.”

“Kevin! What an incredible job you did on the C.D.!!! It’s just beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for doing such great work for us. We appreciate it and will be spreading the word and hopefully, the work, as well!!!”

“…We just won our Grammy. OK, not the kind that they give out at the awards show, but still. I’d sent the CD off to Baby James a couple days ago, not knowing how he’d react. … So James phoned me a couple hours ago in tears. He was that thrilled with the CD. I’ve never heard James emotional before, but he couldn’t stop choking up. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a lot prouder of that than I would be of winning an actual Grammy…”

“Hi Kevin, Mike [Cohen] www.ecopsych.com (http://www NULL.ecopsych NULL.com)
just gave me a copy of his PIG WAR CD and I am completely impressed with the packaging as well as the mastering of some old analog tapes. He told me that he just gave it to you along with some pictures and that you put it all together. Fantastic! Nicest job I’ve seen in a long time… I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your work.”

“I want to thank you so much for all your hard work in bringing to completion this project. You and Shelly are so nice to work with. I so appreciate the professional way you handle your business; your prompt responses to emails, phone calls, etc. and in finishing the project in a very timely manner. It truly was a pleasure working with you”

“Good job. They [the art files] look great to me. I can’t find one suggestion to make and I havn’t even been drinkin’ or anything.”

“…We hold you in the highest esteem. You went above and beyond the call of duty regarding the quality, class and integrity you put into our CD production. Your commitment, honesty, expertise and professionalism is felt in the hearts and musical souls of all Kode Bluuz members, so thank you…!”

“… the order has beat all of our expectations and you guys did an outstanding job.
Thank you once again…”

“… I just finished listening to the entire CD and I love it. You really pulled it all together… Thanks so much. This is the 5th CD you’ve done for me and I’m thrilled.”

“….thank you for making sure our project was a success.”

“Thanks again SO much for your expertise and patient assistance…”

“…I am once again aware of what a beautiful sound you are able to get on my piano. It’s truly outstanding, and, of course, we are starting out with a great instrument. But no matter how you choose to record, and what different mics over the years, we always get a great sound, so it really is “Me, only better”. So all I have to say, is, well, THANK YOU!”

“….great stuff (as usual). You can go to YouTube & enter PDXV to see one of the tunes. I’ve had many people tell me how good the sound is…and they’re right…”

“…I’d just like to say how happy (and darned impressed) we are with how the mastering turned out. We all love and it want to thank you for doing such a top-notch job. Finally, something we are proud of! =).”

“Thanks again for the work on our CD. It sounds and looks great… everybody is extremely happy with the turn-around, quality and professionalism given to our little project.”

“…Nettleingham Audio has been a lifesaver. I would have quit [the music business] had I not found y’all.”

“Shelly, thank you very much for your wonderful work on Laini….. not only expedited to get us product when we needed it but really done with care and expression. Cover looks inviting and disc audio top sound. Artists have to go a long way to find folks like you and Kevin who really care about them and who do creative work on their CD’s.”

“…Kevin Nettleingham is one talented engineer/producer!!! He has helped to shape our sound into what you hear today and I will be forever grateful to him as a musician and a songwriter. His ears should be bronzed for the work he has done! (but that might hurt him & we would NEVER want to hurt Kevin as we love him!!!)…”

“…I wanted to say thanks again for the tremendous job you did on our John Fahey tribute project “I am the Resurrection.” The record has a tremendous sound, especially for a various artist project with content from such disparate sources.”

Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine: “The artwork on the CD is very nice. Tell me about the concept…”

John Standefer: “The concept was to recreate the look of my childhood era. …A great deal of the credit for the 8-page booklet, however, goes to Shelly Nettleingham. She worked miracles with my vision and really went the extra mile on the artwork.”

“…the quality is excellent. Thanks and great job!”

“…he [KKIM AM] uses your work as a go by for the others to try to meet!”

“The master is perfect. I don’t think it could be better…”

“My band has decided that no matter what happens in the future, we demand to be bound by contract that you are the only engineer/god of mastering we deal with. If we can’t be successful enough to pay off your home mortgage and pay off your studio in less than 12 months, we deserve to be flogged by nursing home chicks.”

“All I can say is wow. I thought the recording was pretty solid, but what you did with it is absolutely amazing – like the difference between black & white and color pictures. I will never, ever question the need for mastering, and you will always have my business.”

Music Liberation Project Magazine: “Have you worked with any recording studios, producers and/or engineers in town that you’d love to recommend to other people? Who and Why?”

Miguel Artugue: “Kevin Nettleingham is a great engineer. He mastered my solo record and I kid you not, that guy could hear a fish piss in a waterfall…”

“Thanks so much for your help in this project. It truly has been a pleasure working with your company. I only wish that we would have known about you guys during our first project.”
