Here's what the "master" of mastering, Joe Lambert has to say about working with Ron DiSilvestro: "Ron is one of my favorite people to work with. He has all the bases covered when it comes to the important skill sets. A good listener, great tracking and mix engineer, knows how to get the best out of the artist, keeps them on schedule, fun to work with and still humble!  Forge is a great studio to work in.
