Q: What's your typical work process?

A: The first step is to receive the final mix of the music from the artist or mixing engineer. This mix should be as complete and polished as possible, as the mastering process will focus on refining the overall sound of the track or album rather than making major changes to the mix. Then I listen to the mix carefully and assess its strengths and weaknesses. This may involve using specialized software or hardware to analyze the audio and identify any issues such as imbalances in the levels of different instruments or frequencies, or problems with the overall loudness of the mix. Once the assessment is complete, I will apply a variety of techniques to improve the overall sound of the mix. These may include equalization (EQ) to balance the levels of different frequencies, compression to control the dynamic range of the music, and limiting to increase the loudness of the mix without causing distortion. The final step in the mastering process is to create the final master files and deliver them to the artist or record label. These files will be in the appropriate format for distribution, such as WAV or MP3, and will be ready for commercial release.
