Objective Creativity
My mastering approach focuses on two central tenets, science and creativity. It is crucial to have an understanding of each tenet. Understanding the science behind acoustics and music technologies allows the engineer to make decisions that make a track sound great across all playback systems. However, if the engineer ignores the second tenet, creativity, they can make moves that make scientific sense but fail the artist's creative vision. In my process, I weigh the balance between both so that the track's creative vision is maintained and enhanced.
MASTERING EXAMPLES
I squeeze out the last 10% of the latent potential from your song by getting maximum impact from their low-end, groove, and song structure.
