"Michael Quam recorded and engineered
my first CD. The process was great - Mike was very helpful and supportive,
and left me alone to do what I wanted to do while giving helpful suggestions
that made the project successful. Recording with him carries the
additional advantage of his extensive training in music. I didn't
need to listen to every take to find out if it was good; Mike's ears and
feedback were so good I gave him production credit on the CD. I get
as many compliments on the sound quality of my CD as I get on my playing.
When I am ready for the next CD I'll be giving Mike a call." Steven
Walter, guitarist
"Mike of Quam studios
did a great job capturing our live show and then editing it down to a very
nice sounding CD." Rayleigh Rask of Jango and Catch Music
"I needed an audio engineer
who had the experience to record a wide range of music, and the professionalism
to interact with the musicians and promoters who gave permission for the
recordings to take place. Michael fulfilled each of those requirements.
I admired his commitment to quality, evident in the fact that he mastered
each recording before submitting it for broadcast. Michael recorded
local groups like the Tallahassee Winds, Tallahassee Bach Parley, Baroque
Southeast and the Tallahassee Symphony Youth Orchestra. He also recorded
nationally and internationally renowned groups like Tashi, Atlanta Baroque
Orchestra, The Shanghai String Quartet, Chorovaya Akademia Russian Mens
Choir and the Penderecki String Quartet. His recording of the Penderecki
String Quartet was so exceptional, a portion of it was broadcast on NPRs
Performance Today. My experience working with Michael was extremely
positive. I could always rely on him to do quality work in a timely fashion."

" Has the uncanny knack
for finding the sweet spot in a hall, auditorium or room...wherever it
is...quite an ear too." Todd Henry, choral director
"I was very satisfied with the
recording quality and the turnaround time was very fast. Also the
CD cover and tray liners were very attractive." John L. Heins,
composer and pianist
"You did a fantasitc job on
the sound on that CD!!! Whoa! I am overwhelmed at the quality! Professional
level all the way!!!" Chris Henson, Author & Motivational

"Thanks for the Spirituals CDs.
I thought you did an outstanding job of recording. They sound great.
Thanks!" Ronald J. Williams, composer and conductor
"You can chalk up one proud
effort! The master was great, the recording fabulous... You have done a
truly HISTORICAL recording and no other recording engineer will probably
ever have a chance like the one you realized and with which you've immortalized
your name now with lovers of serious music and especially aficionados of
string instruments. I can only wish you continued success in your field.
I will promote you whenever and wherever feasible. I'm glad you took pleasure
in your encounter with Draeseke, Krug, the Summit Chamber Players and myself,
but at this point, the pleasure is really all ours!" Alan H.
Krueck, International Draeseke Society, North America, AK/Coburg CDs
"Thanks for all of the expert
help. The section I especially was pleased with was the one with
Larry Graham at the piano. Beautiful sound obtained for one of Charles
Eakin's best works. Look forward to working with you on future projects.
You're easy to work with and certainly have the technical down."
Hobart Bell, Flat Nine Films
