FINALTONE

"Working with my good friend Sarkis Mikael and the team at Finaltone has always been an absolute pleasure. They’re detail-oriented, patient, and meticulous throughout the entire mixing and mastering process. If you’re fortunate enough—like we are at Pipe & Pochet—to be near their studio, every visit is not only productive but also an enjoyable experience. Plus, you’re likely to be treated to some of the best vegan food around!"

"It's tough finding people in this industry who deliver on quick timelines and are extremely professional. Finaltone checks both those boxes AND he delivers top-level masters. A rare gem, and I'm happy to have him as Manjumasi's goto engineer"

I had the pleasure of working with my friend Sarkis at Finaltone on mastering one of my tracks, and the result was fantastic. I’m really happy with how it turned out and highly recommend his mastering services!

We have been using Sarkis at Finaltone for our mastering services for a while now. This final step in our production process is crucial, and after trying many different services, Sarkis is clearly one of our top choices. Sarkis always takes the time to thoroughly listen to our premasters and will not proceed with mastering if he feels there is an issue or an element that is too loud and can be fixed beforehand. This attention to detail ensures a superior final product. As a bonus, the turnaround time is usually very quick, and even faster when it's a revision.

A true pleasure to have witnessed the musical and technical progression Sarkis has displayed throughout his journey. Each time I hear his work I am reminded of what a pivotal role the engineering of a song plays in it’s impact on listeners. Personally, I would prefer to live in his studio during the final 10% of any song’s construction. A true master of his craft.

It’s so rare to find someone as professional, communicative, thoughtful, and detail-oriented as Sarkis. He really takes the time to listen and understand the intention of the project, where it be a mix or master, and the result is always top notch. Also, I feel like I learn so much from him each time. Highly recommend him and Finaltone to any of my friends and colleagues.

“Finaltone has been a core part of our team for the past year, refining our tracks to hit exactly the way we want them to. Communication is always strong and we are lucky to have him by our side as we grow our sound at Indo Warehouse.” Kahani (Indo Warehouse)

Having Sarkis as a friend is one of life’s precious gifts, and so is the opportunity to collaborate with him for his mastering services. His calm and patient personality brings an approach to the process that truly respects the music. With his great technical knowledge and real-time feedback to optimize the project before finalizing, combined with top-notch analog gear, the result is warm, powerful, and beautiful!

I highly recommend stopping by the FinalTone bakery to pass your sonic goods through the best mastering oven California has to offer!

I’ve collaborated with Sarkis on multiple releases, and I’m beyond impressed with the results every time. His mastering work is consistently transparent, warm, and powerful, all while preserving the original vibe of each track. Sarkis is patient and offers invaluable feedback on pre-masters to ensure every detail sounds its absolute best. Working with someone who genuinely cares about the final product as much as if it were his own is a privilege. I can’t recommend him enough and feel fortunate to have him as my go-to engineer.

“Working with Sarkis at Finaltone has been an absolute pleasure. Whether it’s my own tracks or the music from Sounds of Khemit, we trust him for all our mastering needs because he consistently delivers exactly what we’re looking for. The depth, emotion, and quality Sarkis brings out in every track align perfectly with our artistic vision. His understanding of electronic music’s nuances ensures that each piece resonates perfectly with our audience. I can’t recommend Finaltone enough for anyone wanting top-tier mastering that truly enhances their music.”

Nhii (Sounds of Khemit Brooklyn, NY)

Love Sarkis and Finaltone studios, with all the super pro gear and quick turnaround results, they have been polishing and fine tuning my home mixdowns for almost 2 years now. Highly recommended for mixing, but also great for additional co-production needs as well.  The studio is stocked with all the best new synths, analog gear, and latest plugins to make creating music easy and efficient.

SABO (Sol Selectas) 

Earlier this year I was looking for a new mix engineer and was referred to Sarkis Mikael at Finaltone. I was already a fan of his original music so decided to give him a shot at mixing a new Desert Dwellers track. The result was perfect and since then I’ve had him mix my upcoming solo album among other material. His mastering is also top notch!
