about

Here you will find audio clips of my recent mastering work. The purpose of this is to show you what is possible when I master your music. All bands have granted permission to share their music. Please Google them and spread the love.

​

To listen, click on a song and press play. The first 30-40 seconds will play the mastered music. The second half of the clip repeats, playing the un-mastered music. The second half is what I am provided with to work from. The first half are the results when I am finished.

I enhance the tone, loudness, groove, clarity etc according to the artist's vision and my ear.

​

The difference in volume between master/source is significant for some. This is because certain mixes have greater dynamic range than others. The louder the master, the more I have squeezed that dynamic range in exchange for loudness. It's a balancing act.

​

Both versions are normalized and lightly touch "Digital Zero" without any clipping. For proper assessment the volume of the source mix will need to increase by 4-7db to get a true sense of the difference.

While working I constantly toggle my master and source at matched playback volumes. If it fails this step then it fails as a master. The only rule in mastering is Do No Harm and volume matching exposes this every time.

​

For superior sonic playback please use the Bandcamp player or download at full resolution from Bandcamp. You can jump between the before / after by dragging the 'slider' in the player from left to right and back again. You'll find that your laptop, tablet, phone, will turn up to 100% volume and the playback will sound loud and proud without stress, fatigue, or distortion.

​

Take your time and scrutinize the difference. There's a lot going on.
