I master hybrid, which means that in addition to working solely "in the box" using a multitude of industry-standard plug-ins, I also make sure that every song runs through world-class conversion by Antelope Audio into a variety of boutique analog outboards, including compressors and equalizers by Manley, Prism Sound, Pultec, Avalon Audio, TL Audio, Teletronix, Tube-Tech, UREI, and Focusrite giving your music that coveted analog sound so sought after in modern recordings.
Excellent acoustics and monitoring
So you've been recording and mixing for days, you're happy with how your songs sound but there is still room for improvement? It's time to get those puppies mastered!
With over eight years of experience, a degree in audio engineering and an impressive track record spanning almost every genre of music, Philip Dust is your go-to-guy for your mastering needs.
Give your "In-The-Box"-mixes an analog touch!
Allow me to master your 'babies' and I will treat them as if they were my own, giving them the time and attention needed to get the best results possible.
Amazing professional and friendly service! Philip Dust is now my go-to guy!
Head Engineer Philip Dust
My state-of-the-art KRK Exposé E8B reference speakers, as well as my other nearfield monitors - including PSI Audio, and Neumann - allow me to hear your songs exactly the way they sound and reveal flaws in your mix that will otherwise remain hidden. In addition to speaker reference I use Sennheiser's world-class HD 800 for headphone referencing.
Combined with the accurate and made-to-measure acoustics in my studio, I'm able to expertly balance out every part of your track until it "sits" just right.

Common mixing mistakes I tackle during mastering
MIXING
MISTAKES
Common
-
Sub-Bass (anything below 100 Hz) covering up the kick drum and midrange detail
-
Either too little bass or too much bass due to use of small range speakers and mixing in a room that has not been properly treated to help tighten up impulse response and attenuate room modes
-
Edgy, fatiguing and harsh sound in the 2kHz - 6kHz area
-
No Sparkle and Bottom
Excellent Gear + Devoted Craftmanship = Great Mastering
My goal is to achieve the perfect balance of loudness, liveliness and emotional impact. I will work to correct the frequency balance, stereo optimize, treat the dynamics, and increase the loudness of your music in a transparent and effective manner. The end result is greatly improved sound quality and a cohesive finished product.
With each project I do, I not only strive to meet your expectations,
I strive to exceed them!
