"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!" 

                                                                                                                                                           -hiwatt

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!)
