My philosophy
A lot of clients ask me how I go about analogue and digital processing. As far as sound processing is concerned, I use a hybrid approach when it comes to mastering. There are certain things I prefer to do with digital tools and for other things I go "outside of the box." However, all of my client's mixes will at some point be converted into the analogue domain using a world-class AD/DA conversion by Antelope Audio - sometimes even without much processing at all and other times very radical depending on the given material.
I’ll do as much or as little as I have to in order to take that mix to the next level.
Sometimes just a slight boost is needed at 12-14k with my Manley EQ to give the audio more "air" and a certain "mojo", other times more work it required.

My goal is to achieve the perfect balance of loudness, liveliness and emotional impact. I will work to correct the frequency balance, stereo optimize, treat the dynamics, and increase the loudness of your music in a transparent and effective manner. The end result is greatly improved sound quality and a cohesive finished product.
