"As a pianist, I want a tone that is not only vibrant and rich, but also one that reflects the realism of a live performance. This tone should be preserved throughout the whole recording, mixing, and mastering process. I want a tone that is not only vibrant and rich, but one that reflects the realism of a live performance. Kawika understands this very well as a musician himself, and is very accommodating and understanding of the concerns a musician may have throughout the recording process. During a recent recording, Kawika's work in the editing and mixing process was magnificent. He did a first class job in bringing out a sublime piano sound that reflects my intentions during the actual recording. The competence, professionalism, and expertise is very well apparent to those who have worked with Kawika. I highly recommend Heftel Studios as a place for recording musicians to have their musical needs met."
