Audio Support solved every issue I had and found a time to help me extremely quickly, at very short notice. Paul was incredibly nice and it couldn’t have been a more helpful quick and thorough experience. It was exactly what I needed. Very relieved to have everything back running well again!

Paul from Audio Support was extremely helpful and supportive in solving a problem we were having with exporting individual stem tracks from Cubase. He was able to resolve the issue remotely, whilst providing some really helpful tips to enable us to problem solve any similar issues we may have in the future. I would have no hesitation in using Audio Support again.
