A graduate of Berklee College of Music’s prestigious Music Production & Engineering program, I’ve worked in world-class studios and studied under renowned mentors including Jonathan Wyner (Pink Floyd, David Bowie), Sean Slade (Radiohead, Pixies), and acoustician John Storyk (Electric Lady Studios).

I’m deeply passionate about mastering and take great pride in my work. You’ll receive a dedicated, detail-oriented engineer committed to achieving a final master that’s emotionally compelling, technically excellent, and true to your vision. I take the time to understand your artistic intent so we can shape a sound that resonates.

I’m certified for Apple Digital Masters (formerly Mastered for iTunes), and I use only the highest-fidelity equipment to ensure your music translates beautifully across all platforms. I also write about the psychology and philosophy of mastering for Sound On Sound, SonicScoop, and Production Expert, where I explore emotion, finalization, deep listening, and the quiet craft behind great records. My writing blends technical insight gained across 1,700+ releases with artistic sensitivity—covering loudness, dynamics, emotional fidelity, listening environments, and the final creative process.

    Alex’s masters always have a 3 dimensional sense of size and space to them. I haven’t found anyone else who makes my mixes sound this good. He’s fast and reliable too.

    Alex is a mix saver! He is the common thread with everything I work on. His golden ears, his insanely fast turnaround time, and flexibility make him the best and most reliable Mastering Engineer I know. Very grateful for his services and his friendship.

    I've been working with Alexander for my whole album and I'll recommend him anytime another artist asks for a mastering engineer. Alexander's expertise with mastering is matched with great communication, all of our correspondences feel very personalized to where I feel I'm being taken care of. His masters are nuanced and reflect an understanding of and deep listening to your song's sound. Mastering can seem elusive but he's extremely transparent with what he does, his turnaround and revisions are great, and his work is incredibly consistent.

Interview with Alexander Wright

  1. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  2. A: Every project gets 100% of my attention and I will always treat your songs with the greatest care, as if the music were my own.

  3. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  4. A: My setup is focused on the most accurate monitoring environment possible. The most crucial tool in the studio is my hearing since mastering is fundamentally based on critical listening. I use world class converters and speakers inside an acoustically treated room so I can identify every detail of your mixes and bring out their best potential.

  5. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  6. A: Every day I'm sent mixes from artists, producers, mixing engineers, and recording studios from around the world. Some projects are independent, some are major label, and the music involved can be anything from country rock to experimental ambient. I listen very carefully and provide detailed feedback whenever necessary - this is where any quality control issues that may have been missed in the mixing session can be addressed. I work in high-resolution formats and ensure everything is streaming and vinyl-ready.

  7. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  8. A: Mastering isn’t about slapping some mix buss processing on the final bounce to make it loud; it is first and foremost a process of quality control - which means the mixing engineer should never be the same person as the mastering engineer. If someone is advertising mix and master packages, it's likely that they're not a specialist in either discipline. By definition, mastering engineers should be objective as we are here to catch and fix errors, make enhancements when possible, and prepare your mixes optimally for distribution. These steps require completely fresh and unbiased ears, specialist knowledge, and an optimal listening environment—not just loudness.

  9. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  10. A: Listen to people’s past work and ask lots of questions; make sure you can have a personal connection and discussion with your engineer about exactly what you want. Avoid engineers who communicate through booking agents or who are surrounded by less experienced assistants. Likewise, avoid engineers who pad their credits with assistant roles on high profile projects. I can’t emphasize those last two points enough. I have made my discography playlists public and easy to find on all the major streaming services because I mastered every single song myself and because I encourage comparison. I think it’s important to familiarize yourself with the work of your engineer as well as their philosophical approach to the craft.

  11. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  12. A: I have been playing instruments my whole life and I started producing electronic music at the age of 14. A decade and a half later, I have been a DJ, band member, songwriter, sideman, session player, recording engineer, mixing engineer, and eventually mastering engineer. I find that being the final pair of ears to refine a song is a really rewarding process; for me, nothing beats the feeling of sending a master to an artist and getting feedback that their initial vision for the song has been fully realized with my help.

  13. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  14. A: Honestly, everything. I’ve mastered techno tracks that were finished in the morning and needed to be ready for the club that night. I’ve helped rappers connect with mixing engineers and producers to bring a collection of voice memos to the point of a finished album. I also collaborate with a lot of indie singer / songwriters and rock musicians recording through large format consoles and doing things the old school way. So I’ve learned to adapt to each artist’s process and treat every track like it’s the only one that matters.

  15. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  16. A: After mastering over 1,700 songs for hundreds of different clients I have developed an intuition for knowing what will enhance a mix without inadvertently causing damage. My motto is always “do no harm,” which comes from a place of deep respect for the music. That intuition has become my edge.

  17. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  18. A: In addition to being a musician myself, I have a wealth of hands-on experience in some of the world's finest recording, mixing, and mastering studios. I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music's prestigious Music Production and Engineering department where I was mentored by some of the most respected names in the music industry. My passion for sound has always been my greatest asset; I live and breathe music like nothing else.

  19. Q: How would you describe your style?

  20. A: My style, method, and choices of equipment are always tailored to the song. I believe that the mastering process should custom-fit the track, and that my work on your music should make it sound better in the least invasive way possible. At its best, mastering is about enhancing what is already there and not drastically changing things.
