"I’ve worked with Ernst for a very stressful situation: record videos for a Concertmaster position. He is super prepared, extremely calm and he has very good ears, not only for notes, but for music! In my opinion behind the mics, whatever you’re doing, you need someone you can trust 100% and make your work easier not stressful and someone who removes pressure on something that is already very difficult. Ernst is someone like this.
He has an amazing taste about sound and he is always listening and understanding what your needs are. He has a lot of experience with top class orchestras and musicians, he is very reliable timing wise and very honest person.
I can only recommend him!"

"I had a wonderful recording session with Ernst! From pre-production until long after. His professionalism, know-how from his musical background and ear for detail are just some of the reasons one should work with him. Also… he’s a super nice guy :)"

Beth&Flo - Piano duo
"After three intensive recording sessions over the past 6 years, we can say that Ernst as a sound engineer is a perfect combination of professionalism and fun. Leaving us the artistic freedom that we want but at times adding nice musical suggestions. Reassuring us when energy was low and celebrating with us when a good take was a wrap. A wonderful collaboration!"
