My most important tools are my ears and my 20+ years of mastering experience. I started making music at the age of 6 and as a teenager, I was caught by music production and ended up assisting in a local recording studio. Only a few years later my heart was already burning for mastering and I’m totally humbled that I was able to make it my day job.
My equipment is mostly analog, for me it’s the best way to achieve a warm, musical and impactful sound with audiophile quality.
I use high end analog gear by Avalon Design, Sontec, Manley, API, Tube-Tech, Smart Research. AD/DA conversion by Lavry Gold, DCS and Benchmark. Most of this stuff is modified to my taste and to exceed the original specifications. I rely on Lipinski monitoring with Roman Magis amplification. All signal paths are kept very short to retain the highest possible transparency.
