"When I first started mastering over a decade ago, I would take a very 'subtle' and 'transparent' approach...
Today I use every tool at my disposal to master a better SONG.
For me, this often requires heavy processing and unconventional methods,
utilizing a combination of both analog and digital gear"
"I have no set method to mastering, I like to first listen to the source material thoroughly,
and choose the appropriate tools for the job.
I really love the work and find it challenging. I find myself drawing on just about everything I've ever learned about sound, it's awesome!"

Here is a great example from a recent mastering session with 'Vio'!
Go ahead and switch back and fourth between the pre and post master below!
(pretty radical approach and lots of pumping but I love the added energy!)
-thank you for permission to play these Violet!
