I wanted to do something a little different to mark the 100th episode, but wasn't sure what. I was wondering about interviewing myself but that seemed a little weird...
And then Matt Boudreau from the excellent Working Class Audio podcast invited me back onto his show, and it occurred to me - I could get Matt to interview me, which would be way more fun and get some much more interesting questions !
So here it is. Matt and I talk about all kinds of things including:
- My background in music, production and music technology
- How I got my start as a mastering engineer
- The responsibilities of the mastering engineer (and the mistake that nearly cost me my job)
- My first mastering chain, and how it inspired my Perception AB plugin
- How I feel about being 'The Loudness Guy'
- Hardware versus 'in-the-box' mastering
- Why mastering matters
And loads more !
