I am a Mastering Engineer for many reasons. But the main ones are:
For over 32 years, I have been a full time audio engineer working in Mastering, Audio Post for Film, Game Sound Design, and Record Production.
I have spent 26+ years of my career as a mastering engineer. Originally starting my mastering career at SuperDigital, Portland Oregon’s premier mastering studio at the time. After 4 years there it was time to go out on my own. Studio M Mastering was born from there. During my time mastering I have worked on projects from Floater, 31 Knots, Kristen Hersh, Wafer Band, Z100, KBOO, Portland Gay Mens Chorus, 2.5 White Guys, Five Fingers of Funk, Mr.Trout, Peter Pants, Jeff London, Brothers Egg, Azz Izz Band, Red Pete, Playne Jayne, Pilot, Dead Hot Workshop, One, Rachels Door, PS, SLUG Mag, ESPN, Rogue Fitness, PBS, Epic Records, Sony Records, A & M Records, Kill Rock Stars, and many, many, many more.
Tackling projects with a wide range of budgets has enabled me to develop and hone my skills. With more than 2700 releases over the years I have worked with almost every Genre.
