Split2nd Entertainment

Mike Cip is very professional audio and video producer, I love is job.
Mike have real nice taste on sounds and effects, really creative guy.
His little dog is adorable friend.

Mike Cip is a truly gifted sound engineer. His technical knowledge of all the components of a recording studio is truly vast, and he has an exceptional ear for achieving a nuanced, clean and beautifully balanced sound. He recorded the audio edition of my novel, Blind Tasting, and produced a 10-​hour audio book whose sound quality raises the bar for that genre. Mike mentored me through the production of the audio book, advising on technical issues, illustrating how different approaches in delivery create subtly different emotional qualities. Mike created a supportive, focused environment where the narrator (John Robert Gardner) could explore and develop the voices for the characters of the story, and find the right tempo for each arc of the intertwined story lines. Mike is so generous with his insights, and he’s a perfectionist, but his laid-​back, warm personality puts you at ease, so you can just immerse yourself in the fluid, intense and creative atmosphere of a recording studio. Mike really made this project a great experience and I will definitely go back to him with future audio book projects. I might add that I also had the opportunity to hear some of the music jams Mike was recording and meet the artists. Mike was supportive of them, he really wants his clients to succeed, to be the best they can be in their art. I feel super fortunate to have Mike’s gem of a studio, Split2nd Entertainment, in the Boston area.

I worked with Split2nd Entertainment to help record a demo for my band this year and was blown away. Very knowledgeable team, Cip is an amazing producer who helped guide our bands vision, and the CD duplication was done the next day, helping my band and I get some local gigs. Best studio I’ve been in as a musician — clean, organized, and literally has every piece of technology out there. Highly recommended!
