DAVID PRATER

“Although Michael Hynes and I have only been working together since August of 2020, because of what my work has demanded from him, we may as well have been working together every day for the past 10 years.

Technically, he’s risen to every occasion when performing extreme time-stretching on long compositions with tempo discrepancies and innumerable edits for correcting severe track misalignments. Where he really shines, however, is when I’ve called upon him creatively. He has excellent instincts when creating special effects and the midi-implementation of his soft synth programs. He’s created events and atmospheres that are nothing short of captivating.

In addition to his mastery of the bass guitar, he’s also an excellent audio mixing and mastering engineer. His work translates superbly in all listening environments and has never sounded harsh or painful.

In short, Michael Hynes is a world-class music and audio professional. As such, I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

It’s been a great pleasure and honor working with Michael on St Disruption.

His production is beautiful. and creative. Great arranging with a deep overview and amazing balance and clarity.

His attention to the vocal and understanding of how to frame a lyric is world class. 

Looking forward to more!!

I have really enjoyed working with Michael for the last several years. Not only does he have great ears and a faithful attention to detail, but he also participates in his mastering with a sense for the magical/spiritual element of the listening experience. I always find it an inspiring note to end on when closing up a project.
