I've helped dozens of talented and dedicated musicians realize their sonic visions, achieve their dream sound and grab the attention of their audiences - and you could be next.
Whether you're an established band looking to release a great sounding album, a singer or producer trying to break into the industry, or simply a passionate musician who's aiming to take his recordings to the next level, I'm here to help.
I have the gear, the skills, and the experience to bring out the full depth of your creativity, artistry, and the best in your music.
I work towards your success.

Give your "In-The-Box"-mixes an analog touch!
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.
With over ten 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.
As a musician myself, I realize exactly how tedious and frustrating it can be, to devote hours upon hours to recording your projects and still not get the desired results in terms of sound quality. That's over now. 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.
Head Engineer Philip Dust
Expertise and passion
Superb acoustics and monitoring
You can't fix what you can't hear, right?
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 really sound and reveal flaws in your mix that will otherwise remain hidden.
Combined with the accurate and made-to-measure acoustics in my studio, I am able to achieve professional results that match or exceed the performance of the "best in class".
Free revisions on every master
Each master comes with unlimited free revisions based on your feedback.
My first round of masters almost always get approved, but if there’s anything that isn’t perfect, please let me know and I’ll make it right.
Once you receive the files, you will be able to make any changes if necessary.
Fast turnaround
I understand deadlines. And I respect your time! I'm not going to promise to get your project done by a specific date if I know I'm already fully booked. I'm pretty quick, though.
Standard Turnaround: 3-5 days
Express Service: Next Business Day
No additional fees for songs with overlength
It doesn't matter whether your song is 3 minutes long, 7 or even 10 - you pay the standard rate of $39 (and yes, I've mastered songs 10 minutes long).
Save big
Take advantage of my album discount and SAVE BIG:
$299 off for 12 songs, which saves you a whopping $169 compared to a
"track by track" mastering process.

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
My goals while mastering your songs
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!

Samples
In the mastering samples, covering a wide variety of musical styles, you can get a first impression of the quality of my online mastering.
You will notice that the mastered samples (MASTER) have greater clarity and separation, an improved tonal balance and a commercial level of loudness.
I suggest listening with a good pair of headphones
or reference monitors to best hear the subtle differences.
