Massia Mastering on SoundBetter

Ive been into music my whole life, so i know first hand that when it comes to mastering you want the job done right, quickly, and without burning a big hole in your wallet. I charge per track and not by the hour! I have many mastering credits on youtube channels such as LinkUpTV and GRMDaily. My biggest achievement would be working with IceCityCrew

Im a mastering engineer with a background in music production and mixing. I studied music production at university, got my degree and before that i was studying music at college. I have been mastering and producing for over 5 years now so i know what needs to be done to a track to get it to a professional level and more importantly i know what doesn't need to be done!My main specialisation is definitely mastering however i can offer mixing sessions as well as producing if needed. I charge per track for mastering and mixing and i can offer lower rates on albums or multiple tracks.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Interview with Massia Mastering

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That all mastering is about is turning up the volume when in reality its so much more than that.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Mac, Headphones, Maschine MK3, Monitors and Keyboard, because thats all i need!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: I share this one a lot! If you are producing a track and you feel like something is missing. Try duplicating your main melody or chord progression and pitch shift it up an octave. Then get a reverb you like and keep it 100% wet. Turn this track all the way down and slowly bring up the volume till you can just hear it under the main track that you duplicated. You could even try a M/S plugin to cut out the middle and keep this track in the sides. I do this quite a bit when producing.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio setup is relatively simple yet i have everything i need to get the job done. I have an NI Maschine MK3 which i use all the time for producing beats and sound design. The DAW i use is Logic Pro X, i just find it the best for me. Im currently using a pair Rokkit Rp5 G3's for monitoring. They are fine to work with if you have a trained ear however i am hoping to upgrade to ADAM A7X's soon. I work completely in the box meaning i only use digital plugins for mastering, mixing and producing.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Nines and one of his producers 5ive Beats really inspire me on the production side of things. I just love the sound that they produce together. Also a guy who guys by streaky mastering really inspires me to keep mastering music and work on making it a full time career.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I mostly work as a mastering engineer for clients, i have been doing this for over 5 years now and have many mastering credits with artists on LinkUpTV and GRMDaily. I first started learning to master in college when my friends kept uploading tracks that just didn't sound 'finished'.
