Audio Mastering: The Artists: Discussions from Pre-Production to Mastering

Audio Mastering: The Artists collects more than twenty interviews, drawn from more than 60 hours of discussions, with many of the world’s leading mastering engineers. In these exclusive and often intimate interviews, engineers consider the audio mastering process as they, themselves, experience and shape it as the leading artists in their field. Each interview covers how engineers got started in the recording industry, what prompted them to pursue mastering, how they learned about the process, which tools and techniques they routinely use when they work, and a host of other particulars of their crafts. We also spoke with mix engineers, and craftsmen responsible for some of the more iconic mastering tools now on the market, to gain a broader perspective on their work. This book is the first to provide such a comprehensive overview of the audio mastering process told from the point-of-view of the artists who engage in it. In so doing, it pulls the curtain back on a crucial, but seldom heard from, agency in record production at large.Additional ISBNs9781315707501, 9781317480051, 9781317480037, 9781138900066Audio Mastering: The Artists: Discussions from Pre-Production to Mastering 1st Edition is written by Russ Hepworth-Sawyer; Jay Hodgson and published by Routledge.
