"Since 2017, I've been recording with Mike, and it has always been a wonderful experience! As a producer, he strives to get the best performance out of the artist, while still maintaining their vision for what they want. His near constant interest in learning new and innovative recording techniques helps create fresh sounds that will fit nearly all applications. Additionally, he's not afraid to sonically experiment with whatever you may come up with. With Mike, I've been able to sonically explore my guitar and bass tones to capture moments I didn't realize were possible for our recordings. I continue to work with Mike, and plan to keep him involved with my other projects because of these years of great production and collaboration."

“You couldn’t ask for a better dude than Mike Stokes! Me and my band recorded with him, he was super nice, very accommodating, and always looked for the best quality in everything. He has a wealth of knowledge and is always interested in hearing ideas for what you’re trying to get out of a song”

Vincent Criscio (Drummer for the band "Tombstone")

"Mike Stokes is an experienced and creative professional who is also passionate about creating the best sound on any project. I have given him some of the most challenging sound files and Mike has, without exception, transformed and integrated the material into a great final mix. His work is what made everyone else on our project sound amazing."

"Cool Audio Studio provides the audio mixing for a podcast I'm involved in. Very professional and does an amazing job."

Tammy H. (Co-Creator & Podcaster for the Supernatural fanfic writers "So Get This" Podcast)

“Through my twenty plus years in the Audio Drama community I've had the great fortune to work with producers of all abilities and temperaments. My experiences with Michael Stokes hits the top of my list. In pre-production Michael is keenly observant of every aspect of the script and his place in bringing my stories to life. In production, his work is immersive and engaging and won us a Silver Mark Time Award. Finally, Michael's post-production work included collaboration that brought out the best in the product and myself. I learned to work more effectively in partnership with him. Thank you.”

Jack Ward (Producer/Writer/Director - Electric Vicuna Productions)

"Mike was a superb person to work with through my first audio book narration, and has taught me a great deal about editing using Reaper since then. He is knowledgeable, flexible, and wants to get the best sound out of your project!"
