Jasper Ward on SoundBetter

AIR Studios Mastering Engineer. Using the highest quality analogue mastering outboard gear and plugins in a brand new, state-of-the-art mastering space built in 2023.

Joining AIR in 2019, Jasper has established a dedicated client base and is a highly regarded mastering and vinyl cutting engineer. He prioritises a collaborative workflow that pivots on clear communication and a strong appreciation for the artist’s perspective.

In mastering, Jasper has worked with both major labels and independent artists, gaining credits with David Bowie, Adam Lambert, Olivia Dean, Yard Act, ArrDee, Jazmin Bean, English Teacher, and Divorce. Jasper has a particular proficiency in stem mastering, which offers greater flexibility and precision in shaping a track/album.

U2, Bring Me The Horizon, Lola Young, Paloma Faith, Liam Payne, Perrie Edwards, Kaytranada, M Huncho, Myles Smith, Hard Life (Easy Life), and Hermanos Gutierrez are among this list.

Simultaneously, he has built a long resume of catalogue cuts, including legendary names such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, The Who, Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Bob Marley.

Following his time as an assistant engineer at Peter Gabriel Ltd and Real World Studios, Jasper began his mastering career at AIR as an assistant, becoming a full-time mastering engineer in 2021. He holds a Tonmeister degree from the University of Surrey, where his final-year thesis focused on mastering.

    Jasper is fantastic to work with. It's my second time with him. He's super attentive to every detail, always quick to respond and showed a real sensitivity in understanding the direction I was going for.
    His communication is clear and helpful throughout the process and the turnaround time fast.
    I really appreciated how open he was to feedback and how easily he translated my ideas into sound.
    Highly recommended, I’m looking forward to work with him again!

    Worked with Jason.... Super happy with the results! The 9-track album project translated well across multiple listening environments. Jason's expertise gave the project that 'polished finished touch' that I was not able to achieve with other mastering engineers.

    Jasper's work was by far my favourite I found from scouring Soundbetter and listening to portfolios, and I'm stoked with what he's done with my song.

    His communication has been clear, helpful and fast, and I really appreciate something he checked in about that led me to improve my mix.

    I'm super keen to engage his services again, soon, and totally recommend him.
