"Looking for someone to treat your project like their own? Looking to turn your stuffy, foggy mix into a bright and clear sonic experience? Then look no further than Angel Hair Audio! Plain and simple, Angel is amazing at what she does. A true professional, Angel is skilled, helpful, proficient, and beyond that, super friendly and a breeze to work with! After such a pleasant experience and unbelievable results, I will absolutely be getting in touch with Angel for my next project, and so should you!"

"Angel!!! Holy crap! The songs sound so clear and you really gave the flow of the songs the right warmth and volume when it was necessary. See Your Color is so big and warm in comparison to my bright mix of it. Lonely World had me almost in tears. I'm hearing moments in that song that I don't even think I realized were there. You've made my work the most beautiful it can sound. I'm really pleased with all of it."
-Daimon Santa Maria, Daimon Alexandrius, Karmic Juggernaut, Bone And Marrow

"I've worked with Angel multiple times on different albums, which all sound stylistically different from each other (from weird black metal / chiptune to nu-metal) and I leave fully satisfied with the final result every time! If you need professional work on your music's production, at any stage, please hire Angel. The attention to detail and overall integrity of your music's sound is in great hands."
- Garry Brents (Gonemage, Memorrhage, Homeskin, Cara Nier)

"Angel is incredibly skilled and efficient at what she does. The project she mastered seriously came to life listening through all different mediums. An excellent communicator, she was able to take me through the process in a very patient and kind way. If you're looking for someone for QUALITY masters, look no further."
-John Kadian, Glass Garden
- - - - - - -
"Angel is a true wizard visionary ~ She always stayed in touch with new draft updates & the final product is unsurprisingly beautiful - She puts the utmost effort & care into everything she does!"
-Sam Chown, Shmu, Vinyl Williams, Zorch, Stiletto Feels

"Angel is the audio engineer equivalent of a fine art conservator. Her treatment of an artist's work is done with the utmost judgement and taste. From the perspective of the artist, her mastering work is the difference between a dirty and damaged canvas containing a painting obscured by grime, and a clear, crisp, and fidelitous image which exists in the full range of color and texture that the artist envisioned. However, from the perspective of the listener, none of her work is salient, and thus does not obstruct or distract from the artist's communication of their vision. What exists instead is a more successfully realized version of the ideal piece."
-Clutter Goth

"I approached Angel to mix a long-running project that I was fatigued on. Literally couldn't hear it anymore. After a speedy turnaround, not only could I hear it again, but suddenly I could feel it and smell it. Points and lines became edges and surfaces, giving fidelity to noise in a 3d space. I plan to send all future recordings their way for, at least, mastering work."
-Matt Palenske, Consumer
- - - - - - -
"These sound great! You really carved out the space & dimension for each part to shine. I'm very happy with the results."
-Matthew Austin, Cordite Tracker, Lord Of Overstock
- - - - - - -
"Angel’s vast understanding of music and recording pared with their kind personality and quick well explained response emails makes her my top choice when deciding who to work with for mastering my musical works. Would recommend and will work with again in the future!"
-Nathan Acevedo, ihtkwtsbtid

"Reaching out to Angel Marcloid A/V was one of the best decisions I made while working on my first project as a solo artist. Angel mixed and mastered my album and made it sound so professional without sacrificing any of the lo-fi feel I was going for. She's incredibly easy to work with, very responsive, and always explained the process to me so I was in the loop about what was being done to my music. She offered suggestions and advice but was never pushy or condescending and my album is better because of her hard work and expertise. It's clear how much she cares about making the music sound its best and giving her clients the sound they're looking for. I cannot recommend Angel highly enough!"
-Shannon Candy, Strawberry Jacuzzi
- - - - - - -
"I originally reached out to Angel for mixing advice when finishing up my album, Voltage Scores. I enjoyed working with her so much, I asked her to master it. I'm so glad I did because she brought the record to a whole new level. She cleaned up the mid-range while maintaining the warmth and character of my synths, balanced out the frequency spectrum, made everything gel together, and now the whole album sparkles with life. Much respect."
- Matthew Ryals, Oxtail Recordings
- - - - - - -
"You're the best. I can really hear the parts better. Everything is all nice and spread out. My mixes tend to be all smushed together. Thank you so much for making the vocals sit better."
-Matthew Weaver, Wiggly, Mechanical Facade
- - - - - - -
"I love Angel's work! It's beautiful. I love the sculpting. She masters artistically."
-Tristan Whitehill, Euglossine, Squiggle Dot

"Working with Angel to master my EP was a great experience from start to finish. She was responsive, professional, and highly skilled and knowledgeable, not to mention very pleasant! I'm not exceptionally well versed in the more technical side of music production, but she was patient and informative, and clear in her requirements. She immediately put me at ease and I knew straight away that I was leaving my project in the right hands.
The end result far exceeded my expectations - she brought out richness, tone and subtlety that I didn't even know existed in my own music. Thanks to Angel, I now have something that I can feel confident in bringing forward as a finished product. She's helped me see the value in my own work, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring her services."
-Cameron, _c_b_g_z_
- - - - - - -
"Angel not only understood the vision and context of our project, she also responded quickly to any questions we had and delivered within the promised time frame with the quality we hoped for. The experience was entirely headache-free and we would use her services again, no question."
-Stephen Meisel, Jr. Joy
- - - - - - -
"Angel perfectly took everything and enhanced it and made it the perfect version of the song. If I could wave a magic wand and make my perfect ideal vision for that song, it would be blown out of the water by hers."
-Jake Stevenson, Bass Bandito
- - - - - - -
"Angel was extremely nice, professional, and prompt. Most importantly, the mastering job sounds amazing. I toiled around with multiple AI mastering services for years with disappointing results. In less than two weeks, Angel delivered masters that blew every AI service out of the water. They sound louder, bigger, crystal clear and club ready. If you're reading this, don't waste another cent on AI mastering. Just pay Angel right now. You'll thank me soon."
- Mark Williams, Bary Center, Winter Robins
- - - - - - -
"Based on existing vinyl mastering work I’ve heard of Angel's, I've decided I will be bringing my own future vinyl mastering jobs to her, and recommending her to anyone who asks."
-Tim Thornton, Suite 309, Tiger Village, CDX, Gotta Groove Record Pressing
- - - - - - -
"These vinyl masters sound so good on the test pressings. Damn! I don't think I've been this impressed with a vinyl sound yet."
-Dennis Mikula, Geometric Lullaby, Ghost Bath
- - - - - - -
"Ahhhhh! This remix is amazing! Thank you so much for the hard work you put into this. I can tell you had fun going crazy with the drums and noise; I had a huge grin on my face when the glitched-to-hell drums came in. Utter insanity...I love it!"
-Marshal Arnold, Self-Reflecting Pattern
- - - - - - -
"Angel's master of the remix of our EP really brought it to another level. Our original version with a self-master was decidedly lacking, and the combination of us re-doing our own mix combined with Angel's skills to get it ready for distribution really elevated the sound!"
-Haishen
- - - - - - -
"It's super cool how you kept a lot of the original sounds intact/familiar but used them in completely different ways, like how you used the one-off synth sounds as percussion (small detail I know, but I really appreciated it!!), and how you layered the synth melody is gorgeous. The slight pitch bend you put on the guitar chords sounds soooo good, and the kicks sound punchy as hell!
The way the track progresses is stellar, really enjoy how you give the guitar time to shine in the middle, just a nice breather after how chaotic it was in the first part. The buildup after that just makes the vox lead you added near the end even more beautiful and moving. Such an incredible take on the track, I don't have enough nice things to say about it! On my 3rd listen in a row already, so much to take in."
-Carter Eggert, Reversed Reference

"I worked with Angel on my latest album from both a mixing and mastering perspective. I recently had the pleasure of listening to ‘Fire-Toolz’ and I was absolutely amazed by her artistry and skills. Angel gave me more than just help with my album, she showed me the details and perspectives I need to be able to apply to any work going forward. I was blown away by the depth of her review and analysis of my work. Her observation and thoroughness were exactly what I needed to take my album to the next level.
"Additionally, she was very up front about telling me how much time/money each item I requested would take and negotiated with me so I wouldn’t be spending copious amounts of time and money. Her judgement in both the transaction and the services rendered are a mark of a true professional. It was my pleasure to work with and learn from Angel Marcloid. I will be using her in the future for any mixing and mastering needs!"

"Angel killed it with this master and I will be singing her praises to future potential clients. She really did a nice job. I can’t think of anything I’d change. Some of the songs I was not thinking much about anymore have a whole new life. I hear hear all sorts of stuff the more I listen and the more I compare it with other music I love. I’m convinced she nailed it."
-Mike Meegan, RXM Reality
- - - - - - -
"I gave Angel a dusty old mix and she polished it til it shimmered and gleamed like new. I never thought that mix could sound that good, but she did it in one pass."
-Izaak Thompson, Birdlabs
- - - - - - -
“We had never had our music professionally mastered before and Angel was super patient with us throughout the whole process and was always willing to offer a detailed explanation for any questions we had. We absolutely love the final masters and we’re looking forward to working with her again in future!”
-Emily Ontiveros, Lunar Femmes
- - - - - - -
"You took these songs out of the muddy puddle they were bathing in and gave them the shine they deserve. Everything I love about these tracks in the first place is given a nice stage presence."
-Vincent Rouault, Takeninake Records
- - - - - - -
"Angel mastered my album, a collision of happy accidents, and turned it into a truly professional sounding work, I'm beyond thrilled with the end product!!!"
-Sam Riegel, Sam Gas Can
- - - - - - -
"Angel mixed and mastered my EP and did a fantastic job! I gave her music that I cared a lot about, and she worked very hard to bring forth the true potential of each track! She made my music sound so much better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her for all of your audio needs, I will most definitely be working with Angel on all of my future projects!"
-Adam Hymel, Positions
- - - - - - -
"I highly recommend Angel as a mastering engineer. I actually shouted in joy when I heard her first pass. She has the perspective and skills to successfully navigate this last critical phase of musical creation."
-Michael Hoffman, nnirror
- - - - - - -
"Getting a record mastered by Angel Hair Audio is that mysterious bridge between the dark that is a final_mix_v6 and the light of a totally actualized, ready-for-all album. It's so hard to describe what it sounds like, but you listen to the master and you just smile, because instantly you know that the final piece of the puzzle has made it into the music. It's very emotional to hear what great mastering can do for something you poured months of your life into to finish! Thank you, Angel."
-Styles Munson, Soff Toss
- - - - - - -
"If you want your album to sound nothing short of amazing, hire Angel. The level of detail is outstanding. Not only does she have incredible knowledge in this field, she’s been doing it for years. For someone who’s pumped out countless albums under countless aliases, she’s obviously self-driven and passionate about everything she does. That’s someone you want mastering your album. It’s not just about making money! She loves what she does and is willing to put in the work to make it sound the best it can. I was able to explain my vision and what I want the album to sound like and she was able to execute it better then I could have ever imagined. Not to mention, she’s a really cool and fun person to work with. Like I said, if you want it done right, hire Angel."
-Andrew Chavez, Cybersurfer 3D

"Angel gave me really helpful and concise mixing feedback. And then her mastering captured the spirit of my (weirdly-structured) song; it was perfect to my ears! I'm really looking forward to working with her again."
-Damon Pham, Especially
"I felt pretty great about my mixes, but Angel's master elevated them to a place that I didn't realize was possible. She brought clarity, excitement, and listenability in the best ways while remaining sensitive to my references and stylistic considerations. Having somebody else work on my music creates a vulnerable space for me, and she made the whole process very easy and comfortable. I'll absolutely be hiring her again and you should too!"
-Joey Meland, Iverson, COCOJOEY
- - - - - - -
"Angel fully understands what the music needs and made this album shine from within itself. Despite various delays on my end, Angel was nothing but helpful & supportive throughout the whole process. Most importantly: the album sounds the best it ever has and feels reborn in engineered enchantment!"
-Ethan, Wifehood

"Angel recently mixed and mastered my record. It was clear Angel really wanted to understand my vision as clearly as she could. Angel takes the time to ask questions and communicate to make sure that she is on the same page as her clients, and that they are thrilled with the final product. I was shocked by how accurate Angel’s assessment of my mixes were, and by how precisely she understood my vision. When I got the songs back from Angel I was satisfied far beyond my expectations and was simply ecstatic. I ended up only needing a few revisions because the first mixes were so incredibly on par with how I wanted them to sound. I believe Angel is a rare talent in the field of mixing and mastering, it is not common that an engineer can understand and adapt to what their clients want so proficiently. Additionally, Angel’s kind, thorough, and professional communication made the entire experience easy and seamless. I am not one to usually write reviews, but working with Angel was the best decision I could have made for my music. I want to share my experience so others who are also stuck or dissatisfied with their music can feel the relief and excitement that I am now feeling from having the full potential of my songs realized."
-Alana Schachtel, Lipsticism
- - - - - - -
"Since I was pouring so much of myself and my time into my album, I really wanted to make sure it sounded the best it possibly could, and a few trusted sources all said Angel was the one to turn to. And were they definitely right! Not only did Angel's technical prowess make each track shine, but her advice and insights were absolutely invaluable and helped me identify both flaws I'd overlooked, and places where I could make a good track sound great. I would heartily recommend her to anyone else, and plan on reaching out to her again for my next project!"
-Jon Martin, celadonDREAM Suite
- - - - - - -
"If you're looking for an engineer who not only understands sound on a deep level, but also understands and cares about the intent of your music, look no further than Angel. She sees beyond just the numbers and faders and is able to tap into and enhance the very fabric of your music: the vision. And makes it sound absolutely incredible in the process!"
- Vance, Soft Replica
- - - - - - -
"Angel did such an amazing job! She demonstrated a knack for not just polishing everything up, but for really digging into the unique elements of each track and bringing forward their best qualities, while still letting them feel like a cohesive whole that belongs together. Every single track is given some extra life, with no one instrument stepping in the way of any other. Her work ultimately helped make everything sound nice and clean, while still retaining any intended dirtiness. All of this with easy, straightforward communication, with no issues when discussing the project. I will absolutely be returning to Angel for future mastering projects, thank you so much!"
-Callum James Trezise, Shadrow
- - - - - - -
"Angel really knows how to bring out the best in a master, and I couldn't be happier with how my EP turned out! Her test master helped me get a great sense of what I could expect, and she was professional and upfront about costs and timescales. If your mix needs a little extra magic then look no further!"
-Harry Sabban, TwoFlower
- - - - - - -
"I'm very impressed. I mean, it still sounds like what I put together, but there is just this clarity there that wasn't before. I tend to mix things as one big mess sometimes, and this experience kinda opened my ear to what I can do in terms of separation and elements and all that. WHAT'S YOUR SECRET!?!?!"
-Whettman Chelmets
- - - - - - -
"I had high expectations, and Angel exceeded them. Highly recommended!"
-Brad Hebert, Ergal Thema
- - - - - - -
"Angel Marcloid offers excellent mastering work at affordable rates as well as the assurance that a thoughtful engineer with a great ear is at work. Great turnaround time, too. I would highly recommend her services for anyone, but especially for those artists working in a more experimental mode."
-Mike Lukich

"In March of 2019, we needed to find a new video post-production person as our previous volunteer, who had been doing it for 9 years, was ready to retire. Before we even had the chance to put the word out, Angel contacted us and offered her services. That’s pretty remarkable, since no one else had made such an offer during the previous nine years. That, to me, indicates Angel’s deep attunement to the “field of intelligence” which is the central theme of BatGap and most spiritual traditions.
From the outset, working with Angel has been easy and enjoyable. She understands what we want and accomplishes it quickly. When she first started, within minutes, she solved a technical problem that had been stumping us for a couple of years, and in doing so significantly improved the audio quality of our videos. I quickly learned to trust her with editorial decisions. Angel has high quality standards and is diligent in meeting them.
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Angel, and I look forward to a long and productive relationship."
-Rick Archer, Buddha At The Gas Pump
- - - - - - -
"Angel did exceptional work on my album, playing drums on select tracks as well as mastering the whole project. Her drum skills are outstanding and it's clear that she has the experience, chops, ears, and intuition to adapt to playing a wide variety of genres. I gave her some demos of my songs featuring drum guides in the form of MIDI drum tracks and Angel was able to expand upon these ideas and bring them to life while retaining the original intent of my vision. She plays LOUD and hits HARD! Just the kind of player I was looking for!"
-Davey Hart, The Christmas Bride, Wishgift
- - - - - - -
"Angel is incredibly easy to work with, attentive to detail, works hard to make sure that you're getting exactly what you want... AND QUICKLY. 10/10 recommended."

"I am absolutely blown away!! A two hour drive home, and your remix was on heavy rotation through almost all of it."
-Self-Reflecting Pattern
- - - - - - -
"I've done a couple preliminary listens and this feels like the difference between VHS and a theater screening!! I can already hear the depth of field you've applied to everything! This gave me rocket fuel for my performance last night! Exclamation points!! I'm so excited! It sounds like you really understood this album. I kept saying that out loud during the first listen. Your gloss and shine was what made me want to work with you on this because of the way you bring clarity to chaotic calamity. Although my chaos is different, you were able to do extract the grit and glam like tragedy masks, widening the breadth of the emotional foundation. HOLY MOLY. Thanks for making my sappy album sound so BIG. As I said, I couldn't really hear it anymore after working on it for so long. It's wonderful. THAAAANKS"
-Matt Palenske, Consumer
- - - - - - -

-Andy Loebs, Space Heater
- - - - - - -
"Angel has been the most fantastic mastering engineer I've had the pleasure of working with. I came to her with a very experimental album and its almost as if she read my mind as to how it should sound. I dont think there is anyone who would have done this album better. Angel is an insanely talented and understanding human being and I would highly recommend her mastering services to all artists, especially those that create things on the more progressive side. She also gives great lessons!"
- Cameron Husband, Arena, M Ø Ø N N R I I B B Ø N N S
- - - - - - -
"She made the album sound incredible. I thought some of the high end was real abrasive but she softened it up perfectly. She really brought it to life. I will be coming to her with every release from now on and I'll be sure to spread the word."
-Chris Bright, Korean Jade, Gloga
- - - - - - -

-Daniel Euphrat, Timmy Sells His Soul, 918
- - - - - - -

-Morgan Garrett, SSS, Scream Culture, Frankie Teardrop
- - - - - - -

-Joe Dobrowolski/Mr. Person

"Working with Angel Hair Studio was a simple and direct process, and the end result was a song that sounds better than anything I've done before, and anything I could do on my own. The work was completed quickly, and when revisions were necessary they were made quickly and without issue. I am very happy with the work that was done."
