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.

    Fantastic experience working with Jasper. He took the time to dig deep in the track and give me a few pointers before mastering. Nailed the master on the first attempt. A loud end result while still being punchy and dynamic. 5 stars!

    I came back to work with Jasper after about a year and once again it's a great experience. He really understands my taste and the direction I have in mind and I trust his musical sensibility a lot. His stem mastering brings the songs to life in a very natural way, making them shine exactly as I imagined them, while keeping the emotion and the character of the mix intact. Beautiful work, as always. Highly recommended.
