Many thank to Paul for sorting out a non-sounding key on my Roland keyboard. He also found another key that wasn't working fully (that I hadn't noticed) and fixed that too. It was all done in just over an hour. Absolutely first class service, at my home, as he lives nearby. He is such a friendly personable guy, and I have no hesitation in recommending him... you won't be disappointed.

I had an hour session with Paul of Audio Support today after a seriously frustrating week of trying to get Cubase/Tascam to work. Fantastic result and this guy knows his stuff. I am now up and running and raring to go. Thanks again and no hesitation recommending Audio Support. Does what it says on the tin. Brilliant!

Paul was really helpful in solving problems with Logic Pro that were making it difficult to use & also taught me about some other more general Logic things as well

If I could give Paul infinite stars I would! He is literally my Audio Tech Hero! I was so stuck with a number of different issues and after witnessing him working live I can tell you now there is no way in hell I could of solved any of that on my own despite pouring over hours of youtube tutorials - not even my best techy friends where able to help me on this one! He is not only a virtuoso in all things sound engineering, music and tech related but, he is so personable and funny as well as super supportive and patient to work and learn alongside with, definitely a natural teacher. I will be telling all my fellow singers, performers and musicians about him and his skills as he is a one stop shop for all our frustrations and needs! And I know that whenever I have anything to do with tech stuff whether that be to increase my own learning or skills or on events and projects he is and always will be my go to guy! I highly recommend Paul!Thank you SO much!
