Mastering philosophy

Mastering is the intermediate step between mixing the audio and preparing it to be replicated or distributed. But it’s really much more than a simple step in the chain. 
It’s a critical stage where we can listen to your music on a revealing monitoring environment and make technical and creative decisions for your music

Your 100% satisfaction

Writing, producing and capturing music is a precious operation. My role is to ensure that the mastering process preserves and enhances all the emotion and aesthetic of your musical vision. Your trust is really important to me, I’ll do as many revisions as necessary until you’re 100% satisfied with the result.
