Loud, Clean & Pro Masters

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now, I’m building DYNX into a go-to mastering service for artists who want major-label quality at independent prices. I’m also developing a curated sound pack for producers and working on custom mastering presets for Ozone 11.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: 🔥 Digital for precision (surgical EQ, transient control). 🔥 Analog for color (harmonics, glue, and depth). I use a hybrid approach to get the best of both worlds.

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

A: ✅ No AI-only mastering—everything is done by ear. ✅ Fast turnaround (without sacrificing quality).

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

A: That mastering is just making things louder. 🔥 Mastering is about balance, tone, and impact. 🔥 It’s the final polish that makes a track feel “finished.” 🔥 Anyone can add a limiter—but pro mastering makes sure your mix reaches its full potential.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: 🔹 What’s the final use of this track? (Streaming, club, radio, etc.) 🔹 Do you have a reference track? 🔹 How loud do you want this? (Competitive, dynamic, or slammed?) 🔹 Any specific requests (warm analog feel, airy highs, punchy bass)?

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

A: I started as a producer and mix engineer before diving deep into mastering, realizing how crucial the final 5% is in making a track commercially competitive. Over the years, I’ve worked with independent artists and producers worldwide, refining my approach to deliver elite mastering at accessible rates.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Modern, punchy, and bold. I specialize in high-definition clarity with a rich, analog-like warmth. Every track I master has depth, width, and impact, ensuring it sounds huge across all platforms.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t over-process your mix before mastering. Avoid slamming your limiter too hard—leave some headroom (-6dB preferred). High-pass your instruments, but don’t cut too high or you’ll lose warmth. Reference your mix on multiple playback systems before sending it for mastering. The cleaner your mix, the harder your master will HIT.

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

A: 🔊 Hip-Hop / Trap (hard-hitting, club-ready bangers) 🔊 R&B (smooth, vibey, warm masters) 🔊 Pop (wide, polished, and loud) 🔊 Electronic (festival-ready power & clarity)

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My ability to make a track sound expensive—louder, clearer, and more immersive while keeping it dynamic and polished. I specialize in modern loudness techniques without squashing the life out of a mix.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: 🔥 Loudness without compromise. 🔥 Clarity, warmth & energy. 🔥 A competitive edge that cuts through. I make sure your track HITS HARD while keeping the mix's integrity. Whether it's hip-hop, trap, R&B, or electronic, I fine-tune every detail so your sound demands attention.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: 1️⃣ Listen: I analyze the mix to understand its strengths & areas for enhancement. 2️⃣ Tone Shaping: Surgical EQ cuts, subtle harmonic saturation, and stereo enhancement. 3️⃣ Dynamics: Multiband compression & transient shaping for punch & energy. 4️⃣ Loudness: Precision limiting & metering to hit streaming and club levels without overcompression. 5️⃣ Final Review: Quality control on multiple playback systems to ensure clarity, punch, and balance. No presets, no shortcuts—every track gets dialed in uniquely.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I take inspiration from top-tier mastering engineers like Mike Dean, Colin Leonard, and Luca Pretolesi - guys who know how to make a track HIT HARD while keeping the dynamics intact. I also pull from modern producers who understand how sound translates across digital and analog mediums.

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

A: I specialize in fast, industry-standard mastering that makes tracks loud, clear, and competitive across all platforms. Artists and producers come to me when they need Spotify-ready, radio-ready masters with punch, depth, and clarity - delivered in 24 hours or less.
