Sienna Digital was recommended to me by a bandmate. They were detail-oriented, spotting an error in the graphics, prices were very competitive, and they completed the product ahead of schedule knowing I had a deadline. Other duplication houses seemingly lost interest in communication and service in general - including paying attention to agreed-on timelines - once they had my money. Not the case with Sienna. I strongly recommend them. I've found their service to be the best I've encountered to date. read more

I've known Rainer since 1994 when he was first recommended to me as an exceptional sound engineer and mastering expert in the Bay Area. Since then, I've released nine CD albums that have all benefited from his skills as a recording engineer, sound editor, audio producer, and cover designer for my piano music. Rainer is meticulous and detail-oriented, ensuring every project is finished to the highest standard. His deep understanding of sound production and use of state-of-the-art equipment consistently yield outstanding audio quality. Moreover, he is personable, listens closely to my concerns, and offers insightful suggestions. I highly recommend his services for anyone in need of top-quality audio and artistic production. His prices are reasonable and competitive, and his work is truly exceptional. Rainer, along with Naomi and Sienna Digital, remains my top choice for outstanding service and production excellence. read more

Perfection! As a producer of over 1000 records SiennaDigital is my favorite mastering facility. Why are they better than the big houses? They listen to what you want until they share your same ear vision and then they get it right. Any production studio who claims they do mastering is suspect to say the least. Always go with a true mastering house with dedicated cats who master every day. read more

Naomi and Rainer are highly professional and provide stellar customer service. I ordered 200 CDs and they were packed perfectly, shipped safely and delivered as scheduled. Every aspect of my communication with Sienna exceeded my expectations. Their instructions were clear, concise and intuitive. They answered all of my questions and gave me the information I needed to achieve a perfect order. Without question, I highly recommend Sienna Digital. read more

These guys did a great job on my CD. Fast turnaround, personalized service, and highest quality work on mastering 10 mixes for my CD. They also did a fine job on the graphics for the 4 panel wallet. Reasonable costs too. I couldn't be happier !! This is my 7th CD and my best experience of all. Thank you, Rainer and your team. read more

Hey, that album? It's your baby right? You've been pouring your heart and soul into it for months, maybe years...you gonna trust it to just anybody? Rainer and Naomi are the best!!! They dot every i and cross every t. I HIGHLY recommend Sienna Digital for your CD/graphics project. Their CD printing replication prices are the same as the bigger companies, but the difference is Sienna really cares about your project and gives it their personal attention. Especially underrated is Rainer's graphics knowledge and prowess with photoshop...just awesome...and fast, damn! Look, I could go on and on...if you're doing a cd project and you want the packaging done right at a great price look no further than Sienna Digital! read more

I had the privilege to photograph Carlos for his "Uncle Los Music" CD. I thought that my photography was good. Yesterday Carlos brought me the finished CD, designed by Sienna Digital and I was floored. The design work was phenomenal. They took my work to the next level. Album looks ten times better that I thought it would be. And it sounds great too! :) read more

I was referred to Sienna Digital for my quick turnaround project by a trusted collaborator. Their team gave me all of my best options to meet my deadline and worked diligently to take care of every detail. My finished product arrived exactly on time without any errors. I will be bringing all of my future projects here without hesitation. read more

Loved working with Sienna Digital! The communication and service was top notch. Naomi has the perfect balance of kindness and tenacity. This was the 5th indie project I've worked on after scores of projects with labels, and the process was as smooth as any. Sienna took the time to be thorough with both audio and print files and make sure that everything we'd provided was intentional, and some of it wasn't. They were patient with the process when we needed it and speedy when things were finally set up and approved. The printing came through beautifully and just as we'd hoped. And while we had mastering done with another engineer, Rainer took the time to ensure that all project files and IDs were what would serve us best - that wasn't something he needed to do, but did, and I appreciate it immensely. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I used Rainer Gembalczyk at Sienna Digital for graphic design and manufacturing of my latest CD. He came highly recommended and he didn't disappoint me. Working with him was really a pleasure and I recommend Rainer to anyone. He communicates clearly and responsively, he turns changes around quickly, he contributes great ideas while integrating the client's ideas and requests, he sets expectations clearly and delivers on them, and he produces results of the highest quality. I'm very happy with the process and the results, and I just can't imagine how it could have gone better so I'm giving Sienna Digital a five-star rating. read more

I have been working with Rainer and Naomi for close to 20 years now, if I recall correctly. Each and every project has been handled with the utmost professionalism in a down-to-earth, very friendly manner. The communication is top notch. Rainer has done the graphic design for most of our projects, and it has always been perfect. Their prices are competitive and the delivery was very fast as well. I highly recommend Sienna Digital ... I can't say enough good things about them! read more

Sienna Digital was very professional and great communicators. We got our music duplicated in a timely manner and the price was better than the bigger companies. Naomi was super nice and we felt good supporting a small business. read more

I purchased a bulk order of Eco Wallets with CD's that included mastering and I gotta say Naomi and Rainer delivered outstanding customer service beginning to end. These two are doing an amazing thing for being a stand-up Bay Area business that not only has great service, but sincerely wants to help local artists to help bring our music to the masses. Naomi's knowledge about the business of music production is one of Sienna Digital's best assets that you can have access to by working directly with her. If you're still debating whether or not you should be going the online rout for CD production, stop now and call Naomi for a free consultation and price quote. I know from experience making CD's that Sienna Digital's production prices are in general lower than using an online company such as Mixonic or CD Baby. In addition, you know you'll get the perfect product because you get to be in contact with real people at every step along the way and aren't beholden to an overseas corporate customer service center! Thank god! Rainer did an exceptional job mastering our audio tracks and although our band has had numerous people do mastering for us in the past I think the sound of this release turned out the best. Rainer was able to make our tracks sound louder without reducing our audio quality. This release has a fuller tone than other songs we've done in the past when we've paid even higher prices for mastering. So I would highly recommend the $400 full-album mastering service because its a great value and will definitely enhance your audio quality. Naomi is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional and I've never spoken to a more caring sales manager in my life. No request is too big or too small and I can tell that she genuinely cares about making sure the customer is totally happy with the finished product. We've already gotten great feedback thus far on our CD's and will definitely be coming back to Sienna Digital for our next release. Despite that there's still some people out there in the music industry that are just trying to make a quick buck off of us as artists, Sienna Digital won't let you down. read more

Naomi and Rainer make Sienna Digital the best mom-and-pop CD manufacturer in the business. Their prices are the same as the big guys (see Discmakers for comparison) but get their product out three times as fast. The added bonus of talking to an actual person (let alone someone as friendly and professional as Naomi) really made the difference for me. I released my first full length album last year and Sienna Digital shipped me all the CDs about ten days after initially signing up with them. The CDs are beautiful and sound incredible, and Naomi's communication made it impossible to get anything other than exactly what I wanted. I just got off the phone with Naomi to manufacture my latest EP. I can't wait to see what they send me. I would recommend these guys over any other company, wholeheartedly, to anyone preparing to make a CD. read more

When we were trying to decide on who we should go with to manufacturer our double album, I looked at sooooo many different options/places.. Sienna Digital had by far the best price and quality of product so we decided to go with them. As a bonus, we found their service was also the best. Really love Naomi and Rainer.. Glad they are around! highly recommended.. you can see their handy work here solilla.com read more

From the initial communication to when the CDs were delivered to my doorstep (on time), the customer service was fantastic. I was even given a better deal than what I had found online, which made the experience with working with Sienna Digital even better. They pay close attention to detail, their prices beat most everyone else in CD duplication and the quality of the CD printing and packaging is stellar. I would definitely recommend them for any CD project you might have and I will definitely use their services again in the future. read more

I have used Sienna digital periodically for CD mastering and CD manufacturing over the years, and have had a great experience every time. The audio mastering process for albums is an art and Rainer Gembalcyzk is an expert. He has the depth of experience, technical skill, and artistic sensibilities to really make a recording sound superb. If that were not enough, he is easy going, and makes the process fun. His partner Naomi handles scheduling, payments, bar codes, and all logistics with aplomb. The graphic design that Rainer did for my most recent CD project was stunning. They are good with deadlines, which means we always have received our finished CDs in time for the all-important release concert. Their facility in Half Moon Bay is airy and inviting. More like a spa visit than doing time in a dark stuffy studio. Take your recording project to Sienna Digital and you will see why they are so highly regarded by musicians, producers, and audio engineers alike. read more

Great folks to work with from start to finish. I didn't use their design or mastering services, but their prices for CD production were excellent and the finished product is top notch. Everything happened according to the time frame originally agreed upon and they did whatever they could to make things work within budget. All around great people to work with. read more

No question, Sienna Digital provides the best quality service, graphic design and audio mastering. I've used Sienna Digital for 5 CDs and each project is handled with care. Rainer is a world class engineer who understands musicians and the music business and really helps when the artist (me) needed some advice and insights. read more

Working with Seinna Digital was such a pleasure. Naomi called me on the phone to confirm everything and find out more information on what I wanted to get done. This is rare in the digital age but it made things more professional. I had mastering and artwork already done but they made sure that everything met the guidelines. I had a deadline approaching soon and they made sure that my CDs arrived on time. I've worked with different companies before but this was by far my favorite experience. read more

I had the best experience getting my album mastered. Rainer is an excellent Mastering Engineer with decades of experience, not to mention a Grammy winner. He really made my music sound its best. We talked for almost an hour about music and different styles of recording music before he began to work on my project. It was very educational for me. I really liked his personal approach to my project. He allowed me to sit in with him, not once but twice, for several hours to work together on making a great master for me. I appreciated his recommendations on re-balancing a couple of my songs before he would work on them. With input like that, I knew he had my best interest at heart. Other On-line and CD duplication mastering services would not bounce back anything because they use a "cookie cutter " approach with there mastering services, and if you don't like it they will just refund you, and move on to the next project. Believe me I know. I have already been through that process. So if your looking for a local company that will actually communicate to you, and not "roll there eyes at you" if you need something changed, do yourself a favor and have Sienna Digital master your project. read more

As an indy hip hop band in the bay area ,we have used Sienna Dig. for pressing up demo albums for over 7 years now and they always do a great job. Great prices, turn around time and service we are always pleased with the finished product. All we have to do is turn in an audio master,email cover art to the specs on their website and set up easy payment and they do the rest. Your album will look pro with shrink wrap/barcode etc. If you are a band on a budget, looking for a small run on a demo etc. Sienna DIgital is your place. They now do shirts too! We will continue to use them again. read more

I've worked with Rainer for years on all of my music projects. He is a world class mastering engineer and has never ceased to amaze me how he can take my tracks and make them sound better than I could have dreamed. He is also a great person, always a pleasure to work with. Strongly recommended. read more

I have used Rainer and Naomi for design, mastering, and duplication exclusively for nearly ten years. They are the only post/duplication company I ever recommend. My bands are good at making music, but really need help with artwork formats, layout options, and everything else that puts their music furthest forward on its strongest feet. Naomi is the best post-production manager you could ever wish for - she knows every angle and all the possibilities (and has a direct line to Rainer;). Rainer has impeccable gear, golden ears, and always delivers crisp, loud, clear masters that exceed results I've heard from much more expensive outfits. Together, they will take your project smoothly, quickly, and professionally from final mixes to shrinkwrap. The final steps of any production often require the most care - Sienna Digital always come through - you can't beat their prices - USE THEM! read more
