“Having worked closely with Shane at the Milkhouse, I can tell you that I have only had great experiences with him. Shane always takes projects a step further by recommending ways in which the artist can better promote themselves after the actual recording process is over.” – Justin Shapiro (producer/ engineer)
” I can say that I am very happy that I made the choice to work with Shane and have appreciated his continued enthusiasm throughout the recording process” -Kelli Eagan
“From the moment we first met Shane, we knew he was the right one to record our debut EP. Shane mixes deft command of modern technology with a DIY sensibility that can make whatever you’re doing sound its best. Shane is a brilliant engineer. He is approachable and honest in the studio. He wasn’t afraid to ask us for another take when he knew we could do better….nor was he afraid to keep our perfectionism in check and suggest that we keep an existing one. Working with Shane has been one of the most important steps in our development as artists and as musicians. Having worked with Shane, we realize that we ended up with much more than an engineer. We got someone who invested himself fully in our project and in future success. ” – Metaphor For Everything
