Mastering Philosophy

Honoring Your Sound

I don’t want to radically change what you have done already.  I will use reference tracks and loudness matched A/B comparisons to improve your mixes.  

Approach

I don’t have a one size fits all approach - I believe every project needs a different touch. 

Do No Harm

I strive to do no harm while elevating your sound in an invisible way.  I like to view myself more as a trusted advisor for your project rather than a hired hand.  

 

Environment

I master in a realistic home environment with proper acoustic treatments.  

Dynamics

I believe in dynamics.  In the current day, there is almost no upside to making a master loud just to be loud.  Most online streaming services use loudness normalization which will turn down loud masters.  I believe a dynamic master is the new to way set yourself apart. 

Communication

I have years experience dealing with all things audio. I welcome any questions you may have mastering or otherwise.
