In Their Own Words

I want students to feel empowered to confidently master their own music (or others' work) using the tools they already have at their disposal. Mastering has long been perceived as a "dark art," requiring expensive analog gear to achieve great results. However, it's much more attainable than that. My goal is not only to provide students with technical know-how but also to inspire fellow professionals in the field to share real-life experiences about the mastering process.

With over 10 years of experience as a full-time mastering engineer across three different mastering facilities, I have gained valuable insights that I’m eager to share with audio engineering students. I believe that industry experience, combined with the soft skills it cultivates, is a crucial complement to the technical expertise required to succeed in this field.
