Cool Sounds

"I was lucky enough to work with Chris after Matt Voigt, who mixed the album, recommended him. It was a great experience working with Chris, his dedication to perfecting fine details and willingness to experiment throughout the mastering process were top notch. I can't wait to put these songs out into the world, including on vinyl!"

The Wise Folks Say

“Chris’s mastering on our recent country folk releases transformed the tracks into something genuinely special. His attention to detail locked in every sonic detail—every vocal texture and acoustic layer—so it translates beautifully across platforms. The collaboration was straightforward and refreshingly direct; there was zero hesitation throughout the review process, and he pushed things exactly where they needed to go. He understood our sound, elevated it without overthinking it, and delivered results that speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.” G&J

Christ Child's Lullaby

"I'm delighted with the mastering Chris did on my single Christ Child's Lullaby. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and clearly passionate about his craft. He made me feel great about my music and delivered a result I'm very happy with. Thanks to Shane O'Mara for the recommendation. I'm about to begin work on a new album, and Chris will certainly be at the top of my list when it comes to mastering".

"SnarskiCircusLindyBand are happy to recommend Digital Downz for mastering after Chris Downer mastered our debut album “what’s said and what’s left unsaid” for streaming, cd and vinyl. 
The sound is clear and crisp, the clarity and impact achieved across all tracks transformed our mixes into a cohesive, powerful, and truly professional-sounding album. 
Chris’s mastering has set a high bar for our sound, and we're incredibly grateful for his meticulous work. 
Our songs now possess an incredible sonic richness and balance and enhanced the dynamics, ensuring every instrument delivered depth and punch" -  Lindy Morrison.

Changes album

"We couldn’t be happier with the work Chris did on our album ‘Changes’ recorded by the legendary Shane O’Mara. The mastering took the record to a whole new sonic level, and plays to perfection on multiple devices. The vinyl mastering in particular pops in a way we didn’t think possible. Having had a previous album mastered in Nashville we’re happy we stayed local for this one as the quality is far superior. We highly recommend Chris and his work".

The 1980s

WELCOME TO... The 1980s & DECADE OF DECLINE

“Having put out records for more than two decades under different guises, Chris has been a golden find for our new project “The 1980s”. Chris understood “The 1980s” sound from the get-go and his mastering expertise has brought a depth and shine to our first two EPs, for both digital and vinyl release. He checks in every step of the way to ensure the final product achieves the artist’s vision. We’ll be sticking with him for all our future releases!”
