"Ian is a producer's dream. A first-rate engineer. Always level-headed with a vision for the music he is recording. Roomful’s last two CDs with Ian have been relaxed, productive and very positive. For the band and the producer, that equals time and money saved."
—Chris Vachon, Roomful of Blues
"We brought The Never's "Antarctica" to Ian as a collection of interconnected songs and he created a sonic world where they could exist as a whole. His contribution was that of a fifth band member."
—Will Hackney, Trekky Records
"Ian is a perfect mix of incredible ears, a dedicated work ethic and above all, someone who honors the artistic process."
—John Custer, Producer
"His thoughts and ideas on song structure and tone made our songs even better and I doubt you will find anyone who is better at nailing that perfect guitar tone."
—Lenny Terenzi, Guitarist, Mighty Lester
"Ian and I broke a Guinness book of world records of how many GREAT mixes you can do on one record. Try 8!!!"
—9th Wonder
"I interviewed a couple of producers who I thought had the tools to really help me, and Ian just impressed me with his professionalism and the questions he asked me. It wasn’t about who he could shop the record to or who he’d worked with previously. It was about the fact that I felt like he respected me as an artist. Ian and I sort of tacitly bonded over a shared perfectionist quality, and that really showed in the precision and detail of his engineering and mixing work."
—Laura Tsaggaris
"It's like he knows what to do before you say it. He just has a chemistry between the artist and the music."
—J-khrist
"I had the pleasure of playing piano and organ on a record that Ian produced and engineered. As a producer, he was a joy to work with—very positive and able to painlessly extract the performance that the song needed. The engineering never got in the way of the music, and the tones he got from the piano and B3 were second to none."
— Jim Crew/CrewCuts
"Ian has the unique ability to embellish songs with musical ideas and effects that make the songs more interesting and more structured. He also knows when to simplify songs if they have too many parts or clashing instrumentation."
— Matty Russo, Joceifus Rifle
"He's a Pro Tools master but doesn't overuse it. I'm mostly impressed by the nice warm drum and bass tones he gets."
—Evans Nicholson, Drummer
"His knowledge and ability to make my clients sound like they do in their heads is amazing."
— Dave Sperandio
"I don't care what you throw at Ian, when it comes to recording, producing or mixing, he ends up with a great sounding product."
—Rodney Edens, Stump Sound Recording Studios
"Ian's judgement, ears, musicality, patience and experience benefited my recent release (Scarves & Knives) tremendously. His mixes were absolutely top-flight."
—Cole Guerra
"Ian understands that mixing is an artform and he pays the attention to the details."
—Purple St. James aka YahZarah
"His mixes are bright with a solid low end perfect in today's Hip-Hop music."
Black Jeruz, Producer
