"My students and I have been fortunate to use the quality tools and fundamental lessons
provided by Datasonics & masteringmusic.online for over a decade. At generously reasonable costs,
my choir members and Music Technology students have benefited from these resources in significant ways.
And, I could provide pages of testimony on the quick service, patience, and empathy from their staff from a product
we use on the opposite side of the planet!"
