Master from Separates

Refined during the engineering of the SAMA-nominated The Cradle of Art by Black Motion, this approach offers the highest degree of sonic control. By treating the mastering process as a hybrid "final mix," I can ensure your tone is preserved while fixing any monitoring inconsistencies from your production space.

Vinyl Mastering

Engineered for the Needle, Crafted for the Collector.Vinyl is a physical, mechanical medium with unique technical limitations. Unlike digital formats, a vinyl record has “physical boundaries”. We provide specialised Vinyl Pre-Mastering to ensure your music translates safely and sonically to the lacquer disc while preserving the feel.

About me
