2025 marks my 15th year working independently as a mastering engineer. 🥳
Here are some bits I've learnt over the years (often the hard way):
▪ It's about the music.
▪ It's about the clients.
▪ It's about listening.
▪ It's about communication.
▪ There's no place for ego.
▪ Everyone has their strengths.
▪ It's a team effort.
▪ It's NOT about gear.
▪ It's NOT about new toys.
▪ It's about tools you can trust.
And most importantly, it should be fun. We're making music!
I hope everyone has a wonderful year ahead, and I look forward to collaborating with you all soon. 👌
