Mike Ragogna 
Director of A&R, Producer, UME, offers these comments:

"UMS mastering engineers have consistently provided me with the highest caliber of work, even beyond expectations. My work, especially with engineer Erick Labson, always captures the vision that I have for each project. His natural ability to hear EQ nuances and a recording’s subtleties help him deliver breathtaking results. Our projects together include Aerosmith, Chuck Mangione, Gin Blossoms, Heavy D, Nancy Griffith, The Scorpions, Joe Jackson, John Hiatt, Cher and Neil Diamond.

Additionally, my preference for a clean, professional and creative environment are all found at Universal Mastering Studios. Their secure and accommodating atmosphere also offers comfort and appeal. As a label A&R guy, I can tell you that this point is often important.

The added convenience of securely retrieving masters directly from the UMG vaults, and their seamless interaction with Universal Manufacturing and Logistics, makes UMS the perfect production partner.

I would see no reason why any music label would want to use an outside facility when such a fantastic resource is well within our reach."

David Mucci
Production Coordinator, Universal Music Enterprises

"I prefer Universal Mastering Studios for many reasons. We receive priority scheduling which expedites our projects...also saves our budget by offering us complete audio services in one facility; including WAM!NET, ProTools HD, mastering, ISRC encoding, sound reconstruction and restoration, EQ-ing, sequencing, compiling, replicating, format transfers, analogue, DSD, watermarking, labeling, visual creative resources, duplication, and shipping to UML facilities, as well as delivery and retrieval of master tapes to vault storage!

Universal Mastering Studios is the only audio production studio capable of delivering all of these services to our groups.
Also, UMG's resources should be secured inside of Vivendi Universal family groups, rather than delivering tapes to 3rd parties. I feel secure keeping UMG tapes on UMG property. Masters are the only assets a record company really has.

I'd also like to say how wonderful the staff members are to work with. Always courteous, professional, fast and talented, they really do the best job!

THANKS, UNIVERSAL MASTERING STUDIOS!"
