MASTERING

Another guy I love to talk with is mastering engineer (and cellist!) Steve Berson of Total Sonic Media. Steve has mastered my last 4 projects and like Ron, he knows his stuff and likes to talk about it.  I always look forward to finishing a mix as I know I’ll be heading over to Steve’s place where I’ll hear my music on his amazing system. We may get a little too technical, but I think this week’s podcast is an interesting look at this mysterious art of mastering.

and down some stairs. It suffered some considerable damage to the upper bass bout. check out the photos…

This past weekend I grabbed my new ZOOM H4 and headed up to Ron Fletcher’s shop to pick up the repaired cello. We talked about the repair and did an adjustment session too…enjoy!

Here’s the “after” shot. There is some color difference in the pics but not on the actual cello..fwiw:
