Mastering in Brooklyn, NY by an Apple Digital Masters certified, Grammy-nominated engineer — 19 Billboard Top 20 albums, 3.3 billion+ credited streams, records delivered for Virgin, Universal, Warner, and 300 Entertainment.
Sit in on your session at 332 Rogers Ave in Crown Heights — hear your master on calibrated Focal monitoring and approve it in the room — or send your mix from anywhere and get it back in 1–3 days. Serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, and artists worldwide.
Most mastering today is file-in, file-out: you upload a mix, a master comes back, and you judge it on earbuds. An attended session is different — you sit in the room while the record is mastered, hear every decision on a calibrated system, ask questions, and walk out with a master you understand and approved in person.
For local artists it is the single best way to finish a record: same-day approval, no revision-round email chains, and you learn how your mixes translate — which makes your next record better too. Can't make it to Crown Heights? The remote workflow delivers the same master with revisions included.

Attended sessions available at the Brooklyn studio, or fully remote delivery.

Mastering is the last stop in a chain that also runs through this room: recording, production, and mixing in Brooklyn. Records mixed here are mastered with the mix already built for it — see the full mixing and mastering services ($250–$1,050 per song). Mixed your record elsewhere? Mastering-only is welcome — that's most attended sessions.
