So with the mixes finally finalized, last Wednesday we went into M-Works in Cambridge to audition mastering on a track. Jonathan has an incredible resume of artists he’s added his polishing touch on for decades including Nirvana, David Bowie and Godsmack to name a few. We spent a little over an hour working on the track and it sounded much more vivid and sparkly. Once we took it out and checked the translation in various stereos, we realized in compromise of cleaning up the track a bit some of the mix dynamics were changed and not as good as before. This is in no way saying we weren’t thrilled with what he did on the track, it just led us to ultimately deciding to master the record ourselves because we can still have complete control over the mixes while mastering to wind up with the best sounding final product.

So that brings us to today. We’re back in the studio banging it out. We intend to walk out of here tonight (or tomorrow morning, lol) with the mastered finished record. That means it’s coming to you within days. Are you ready? We are.
