Honoured to be featured in @applemusic “The Engineers” playlist series for #BehindTheSongs. This playlist is a pretty surreal walk through some of the records and moments I’ve had the privilege of contributing to over the last decade. Big thank you to all the artists, producers, and collaborators who’ve trusted me to help bring their records to life. @applemusic #BehindTheSongs

“Bones” ~ @saskiarobinmusic Mastered at Panorama The texture and feel of this song are insane! It pockets so amazingly, and magically. Something I’m always conscious of, and a cool little trick for mastering, is to consider how the side/stereo information complements the center image: MORE MID = more punch, less immersion, more side = less punch, more immersion. The punch of this mix was stellar to begin with, and I didn’t want to compress it to get into a gel/glued pocket; instead, I brought the mid signal down by -0.5 dB so the sides could envelop the image more!

“Telepathic Twin Flame” ~ @ivorismusic Mastered at Panorama Did a full case study on this technique via my YT channel. Wanting to respect the flavor and space @sssimonlam wonderfully brought to this mix. As I looked to bring out the width of the mix, the harmonics in the bass line started to lean LEFT. I did NOT want to be lazy and just PUT IT IN THE CENTRE…. anyone can do that… but what about embracing the stereo field and keeping things lush, open, and still mono compatible? Here is some automation I added to the right-hand channel: multiband triode saturation to the low-mid band only.

“No Good At Goodbyes” ~ @willowbankgrove Mastered at Panorama Warm low-end with great depth and dimension. @mixwave fearn VT-7, adds wonderful richness and gel to the low-end like no-other. Paired this with the precision and controll of @izotope bass control (Not always pairing these two together but I did in this circumstance) The key with Bass Controll, is to set the crossover at the top of the punch in the kick (This mix 250hz) and just monitor. Often, it’s a small tweak I make outside of the plugin to get the balance and punch sitting smack on, othertimes like this time I used the peak control to keep the low-end consistent from the kick drum and I leaned on the sustain power (Parallel compression) to thicken up the bass line in relation to the kick.

“Ocean” ~ @nihlnothing Mastered at Panorama When mastering heavy records, it’s like a tightrope act, we want LOUD, we want ENERGY, we want TONE. Instantly, when pushing up against the ceiling, tone shifts, harmonics, and intermodulation distortion are introduced whether you like it or not. How do you embrace it and compensate for it? Here are two things that helped the energy over the line #01 - (Carousel 2) Triode saturation to the upper mids of the side signal with @izotope exciter - This helped bring a nice openness and forwardness to the guitars. #02 - (Carousel 4) Maximizer in IRCIV modern (Not V like I usually do) The V mode on the maximizer felt a bit to “pudgy” for lack of a better term, as soon as I flicked across to IV, the album masters started locking in wonderfully!

“Alalake” ~ Album @alalakemusic @jaspertrim @musafilly_official Mastered at Panorama This album had me working on another level of detail. The tones of the traditional instruments like the Kora had me dialed into how every little EQ move affected the harmonics, presentation, and performance on the final master. This is why I’m such a stickler for hyper-accurate level matching and gain staging when mastering. No fooling myself in the process and always challenging every move in the interest of the record. It’s simple in practice, but will bash your ego every day; 1. Loop a small component of the signal level, match it to 1/10 of a decibel using short-term LUFs. 2. A/B the process on and off. 3. Get humbled, realizing the changes you made need to be tweaked. 4. Rinse, repeat, and learn from the process. Big thank you to Jasper for involving me in what I feel will be an album that lives with me for my lifetime. Thank you!

“RFL“ ~ @bobby_lungs Mastered at Panorama Man, I wanted these drums to thump and move you in the chest, @omixedit did a killer mix 10/10, I just wanted to make sure we went to 11, so when people put this on, the beat really hits you hard. A unique way to get some “lift” or bump to the transients in a master, which I haven’t seen in any other tool. The CGII by @makebelievestudio density function has a unique transfer curve that lifts the signal just below the ceiling.

“Just Repeat Myself“ ~ EP Dark New Days by @blueprinttokyo Mastered at Panorama IMD (Intermodulation distortion) in mastering is the ultimate tone and harmonic killer; it can close up a mix SO QUICKLY, especially with rich guitar tones. For this record, I used Kraftur by @soundtheoryltd to help add some clean density and depth to the master. The multi-band softclipping helps mitigate so many of the issues that most traditional processors impose with IMD on the sound of a mix.

“Music Sucks (Fuck You)” ~ @privatefunction69 Mastering vinyl alongside digital releases is a careful balance of making sure we prep it to fit the format accordingly, but also honour the listeners who will hear in the digital domain. Heatmaps in Simulathe are a critical checksum when preparing the files for a cutting engineer and give me a final opportunity to make any tweaks accordingly; here’s a heat map of the excursion for the A-side! ~ Alongside an excerpt from my favourite book on the topic, Basic Disc Mastering.
