As I've mentioned in a few previous blogs, I've gotten a lot of opportunities to work on a variety of projects this trimester. From film-set recording to mastering, in recent months I've really tested my abilities as an engineer in adapting to different kinds of work.

Recently I've had the opportunity to explore learning to master music, and even got to master two tracks for local up and coming Melbourne bands. Learning about mastering from Melbourne producer/engineer Tom Glover was an eye-opening look into arguably the most importa...

My most recent project has been to re-envision a song in the style of another producer as if  they had been the one to produce the track originally. The brief was open ended and I was able to choose the producer and song to be reproduced. From the get-go I was certain...
