Professional Mastering

My role is to translate your productions into the final form for your listener's ears. I am not here to change but to enhance. My passion is finding what gives your tracks their essential essence and bringing that to life. To me, music should feel alive, how else will it be a visceral experience? To make it alive, I massage the transients, harmonics, balance and where suitable, add a bit of grunt.

I engineer masters with a hybrid methodology, utilising both hardware and software. I believe analogue excels at some tasks and plugins excel at others. At present, I work with Cranbourne Audio, Solid State Logic, Elysia and TK Audio analogue processors along with a host of top-of-the-line plugins.

I work in an acoustically treated room with custom-built absorbers and diffusers, which has been measured, treated, tested, modified and then measured again with Arc Studio 4 to ensure minimal interference from reflections on my monitors. I monitor using 3-way Ex Machina Pulsar MK2 monitors. They are the clearest, flattest and most honest speakers I have ever heard, and I have road-tested many speakers over the years. This clarity allows me to truly hear every detail, thus enabling the smallest adjustments in compression and equalisation to make your tracks shine.

I have been DJing for 23 years, running record labels for 15, producing for 10 and mastering for 2.  My musical career has focused above all on sonic quality whilst playing and releasing bangers. Let's make your tracks bang. 

I often give people feedback on improving their mixdown before I master their tracks. I don't need to do this, many mastering engineers wouldn't, but I know I can hear things on my monitors that most people would wish they could. These tiny changes have a massive impact on the end result.
