Producer Matt Wallace and Maor Appelbaum
“You will hear the clarity, the power, and the size
that your music deserves.”
Matt Wallace

Maor Appelbaum with Billy Gould of Faith No More
“One thing that I can say about working with Maor, is that he truly cares about the quality of the work. Not to say other people don’t, but I’ve found a particular attention to detail and “getting it right” that is unique. He has never shied away from sticking with difficult projects till the end, and until all parties were completely satisfied, and that says a lot in my book.”
Billy Gould
Producer, bass player for Faith No More
“I can easily go on and on about Maor Apelbaum’s attention to detail, his willingness to go well beyond the call of duty, and his desire to present you with the very best version of your music. But, the best testimonial for Maor’s work is to listen to projects he’s mastered and witness what he does so exceptionally well with your own ears. Listen to his work and learn that pressing ‘Play’ will tell you all that you need to know because you will feel it in your guts. You will hear the clarity, the power, and the size that your music deserves.”
Matt Wallace – Platinum Producer / Engineer ( Faith No More, Maroon 5, Train, The Replacements, Blues travelers )
