My mastering philosophy is built on three main pillars that guide my mastering process:
The first pillar: Integrity
The primary objective of audio mastering is to get the music into the right format, enhancing it while retaining its integrity. My approach involves developing a deep understanding of the results each artist and producer wants to achieve. For this reason, I like to be involved in the early stages of their projects. Attended sessions are preferable, as working with the people originally involved can often help unravel any difficulties encountered.
The second pillar: Simplicity
Mastering today often involves extensive use of equipment and plugins, especially saturation. I go against this trend. Every piece of gear and plugin I use is carefully chosen and has a specific purpose, quality over quantity. My goal is to achieve the intended sound with minimal processing, making your sound shine. My masters exhibit holographic depth, clarity, warmth, and agile power without imposing my own sound onto your record.
The third pillar: Feeling
In recording school, it is often taught that masters must meet certain standards, even if it means sacrificing some parts of the music. I believe this is absolutely false, with a few exceptions. My masters always prioritize feel over anything else. Music must have the right feel to convey its message to our hearts. I strive to create masters that sound human, have a natural feel, and convey emotions. This is my biggest goal in audio mastering.
