The Modern Mastering Engineer is YOU!

​

In my years as a mastering engineer I have learned a lot about the industry and there's a lot of misinformation out there surrounding audio mastering. There are many engineers and artists that want to learn to master their own music or master music for their clients. YES! this can be done and is done all the time. Mastering is not a dark mysterious art. Mastering is simply making something better than it was or confirming that it is good enough for commercial release. But how? Have you asked yourself these questions? Where do I start? How do I know if what I'm doing is right? How loud do I make it? How do I even make it loud? When should I put a compressor on it? These are some of the questions I have been asked over the years.

In my Blog down below I cover some of these questions. My blog is more of a personal deep dive into the mind of a mastering engineer as I cover many controversial topics in mastering such as "should you master your own music?". For a more hands on learning experience I offer weekly publications to all my email subscribers. We talk EQ, compression, limiting, room acoustics and so on. I give away useful starting tips to help get your mastering on the right track.

I have made a quick chart that describes what a stereo track essentially is and what m/s means and how it correlates to stereo. I have also made a mastering "frequency chart" that explains what generally happens in certain frequency ranges. These charts are a great starter into mastering. All subscribers get these helpful tools, follow the link to download these guides in PDF format to start learning now.
