Mastering, I'm the last stop of the production. Final polish & QC.
I was a heavy metal kid from Queens that got into the early NY HipHop scene. Very similar to Rick Rubin, minus the meteoric success, lol.
Big influences were Kiss (from my neighborhood), the crazy NYC Clubs (Max's Kansas City, CBGB, Mudd Club, Dancerteria) A rock producer / engineer I worked with early on, Jeff Glixman (Kansas, Black Sabbath, ELO).
Early in my mastering, I had no clue what I was doing. I wish I would have had a mentor to show me the ropes and not make so many mistakes. This was all pre-internet too.
My giant, multi room facility has now evolved to my trusty LCD-5s and a Chord DAVE.
Be prepared to have a second or third job for the first few years.
I use them for everything. Every single record since 2018 has been mastered on Audeze Headphones. I started originally with some custom IEMs in 2012. I got my first pair of mastering quality headphones in 2018 with my Audeze LCD-4s
I've got too many stories....
I've lived in 7 countries, and traveled the world since closing down my Atlanta studios in 2012. Having headphones and a portable rig enriched my life to no end. I'm currently residing in Reykjavik Iceland.
