I'm Austin Gordon, and I run Commonwealth Mastering, a dedicated, fully independent mastering studio. My reason to be here is simple – to give back what the gift of sound has given to me. Your work is my work, and that means that whatever it takes to make it sound like you want it to, I will do.
Mastering is the combination of science and art. It’s hearing something for the first time and being authoritative, creative, and yet objective about where it should or could go. It’s feeling, it’s envisioning, and it’s impulsive – often all at once. Without skilled mastering, there is a disconnect between the artist’s intention and the listener’s experience. Less philosophically speaking, it’s not only about making the audio in question sound as great as it possibly can, on as many mediums as it possibly can, but also about ensuring that it will deliver an exceptional experience for both the listener and creator alike in perpetuity.
Why am I the right person for the job? If you can name a role within the music industry, I’ve probably done it – singer-songwriter, frontman, bassist, recording and mixing engineer, music publication writer, booking, and box office manager, to name a few. In the time of all those roles, I found my passion for mastering and have worked incredibly hard to combine all of that experience and knowledge with my philosophy of service & community. I believe my approach will lend itself to you succeeding in finishing your best work, as well as finding a creative confidant and helping hand as you grow your career and make incredible music.
If you put the people first, everything else will follow.
Thanks for reading. Let's create a partnership.

I couldn't be more pleased with the mastering work Austin performed for out album! You could not ask for better communication or attention to detail than what Austin provides. I can't recommend his services enough and look forward to working with him again in the future!
Incredibly easy to work with and professional communication. The clarity in my track brought out all the minute details to shine in the mix. Definitely will be using Austin again in the near future.
Austin operates with integrity, knowledgable kindness & professionalism. He is a joy to work with & communicates clearly and promptly. His work is reliable and done with a high standard of excellence at a motivated speed. I am very grateful our paths crossed.
Austin knocks it out of the park every time. Super great communication and a great product in an expedient time frame! I highly recommend.
I've had great experiences with Austin. He delivers not only an excellent master, but does it quickly, efficiently with all the files and versions I need organized and ready to go! Highly recommend.
Austin mastered The Park Sitters' first album, Ad Hominem. All ten of the songs came out sounding great! I couldn't be more pleased! I highly recommend Austin Gordon!
Couldn't be happier to work with Austin on my EP. I could not be happier with his quality of work and professionalism. Would highly recommend and definitely will return.
