Black Monolith 

Engineering Philosophy

There is a lot of mystique as to the mastering process, with some considering it a "black art".
The main skills of an engineer come from experience with sound and music, both in listening and working, the ability to hear a mix and immediately identify what is needed to maximise translation.

I have spent over 20 years working with sound, from playing in bands, engineering bands, to producing and mixing music with both electronic and with conventional instruments dealing with all sorts of genres. I have set up, installed and engineered live and club sound with sound systems of over 100k in power as well as running my own record labels both vinyl and digital, and doing commercial mixing of all kinds of music.

I know how music should sound whether it is designed for the home, the cinema, or the club.

My unique perspective of all sides of the audio process gives you years of sound experience dealing with YOUR music.
