"I have worked with a few great Mastering Engineers, mainly keeping one for over 20 years. Times change, as the digital age has developed I needed someone new who excelled in both, the old and the new, I am not a fan of slam mixing, taking all the air out, my music needs breath, with Charles Michaud (Preference Mastering) he gives me the hit of a heavy weight boxer and allows the landscape to breath, most importantly I love his mastering months after, a true sign i have found the right man for Juno Reactor."
"After spending days sometimes weeks working in the studio putting my whole passion into my projects, I need someone I can trust to put my pride and joy to the final mastering stage. It took me a long time finding the perfect guy to master my tracks; now I’ve eventually found someone I can trust and who has taken time to understand where I am coming from. Charles Michaud from Préférence Mastering has the magic touch and honest ears polishing my productions to the highest standards. I would never trust anyone else for this process. The results can be heard on my work."
"We played it on a gig on the weekend and it sounded all good. Still warm, round and fresh enough."
"Every master I get back from Preference makes me smile. Charles always manages to find that crucial balance between volume and dynamics. He makes the tracks shine exactly as I intended, never obscuring my mix detail through heavy-handedness. Communication is easy and welcomed from Charles and is always open to any suggestions. He’s my "go to" whenever I need a solid but natural-sounding master."
