"Church on Fire" (Christian Rock)

​

Thanks for having the patience to help a bunch of "newbies" through the process. It was a very educational day for us. We had a lot of fun despite the obvious nerves and such. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and we were all impressed by your professional easy going approach to the project.

From Rocko Paolo (aka Rock Meister)

Eugene is a delight to work with. He is professional and at the same time, personable.

I had the joy of working on a personal recording project and chose Eugene to record my favorite guitarist: Tony "Wild T" Springer.

​

Eugene had never met Tony and I before this session but within minutes, the three of us were like family. We talked about our experiences and had a great time all the while not missing a beat or missing that magical recording moment.

​

When we went our separate ways, we kept in touch. So much so, Eugene ended up mastering my project because I trusted him with my work and knew that he would treat it with the time and respect it deserved. Eugene is that kind of guy.​

From The Mainlanders (Canadian Folk Band)​

" we asked Rea Studios to mix our first album, and were so delighted with the results that we had

them master it also.

Little did we know that was the start of a great relationship and friendship! There was no doubt as to where we'd record our next album, and that we did, with the expected results. More importantly we had lots of fun, and Eugene again demonstrated his ability to create and capture the moment so as to faithfully produce the finished product that we the Mainlanders, and he had in mind at the onset.

From tracking editing, mixing to mastering, Eugene puts everything into it, technical skills yes, but equally importantly heart and respect for the material.

Now with 2 CDs behind us, once again we have no doubt as to where we will record our 3rd one. Rea Studios recent move to the Midland area will not affect our decision in any way - in fact we can't wait.​

I love how you bring out the intimacy and honesty of my songs! Beyond the recording skills, the talent and musicianship that you contribute enhances my material so much. I LOVE Danny Boy and Ballads, which you and I did very quickly - it totally captured the songs with, in some cases, no overdubs, and in fact mostly in single takes. It's such a pleasure to be able to record like that when the material deserves it.

JAMES ANTHONY (Canadian Blues guitarist & singer)

I've worked a lot with Eugene - one time he asked me why, since at the time I had my own recording studio - my answer then and now is still the same; I've seen and heard him work - he really knows his stuff. He has great equipment, great ears, and above all he makes musicians comfortable, and allows the to concentrate on creating. One time we were working on a very complicated mix, and I remember saying to him "you can do it - easy - you've got this" and, of course he did.  Eugene has tracked, mixed and mastered for me - and all to the highest standards.

GLENN ERWIN (Canadiana singer-songwriter)​

When I first went into the studio with Eugene I was scared to death. He quickly put me at ease and was very encouraging. Eugene helped me understand the process and build confidence. As my first CD progressed he played a lot of the instruments and was mainly responsible for the arrangements.  His experience and expertise shone through in so many ways. Eugene's friendly demeanor and the skills that he showed on the top-notch equipment at REA STUDIOS made it a no-brainer for me to return to do my second CD with him - in short I totally trust him with my songs!  I can't wait to start CD number 3. Thank you Eugene.
