I’m not a mastering engineer mixing but as a recording artist I still find it very fascinating to hear this info from technical experts on the post production end. The host and guests know their stuff! Keep up the fine work.

Great podcast to learn about mastering, but also just music Post production in general. I listen for inspiration for film post production.

I have a degree in audio engineering but the mastering part of my education was a bit lacking. This podcast is amazing. I love how Ian approaches from a music first standpoint and always wants to make decisions that are musical and sound good. He doesn’t get stuck on gear and tweaking, it’s all...Read full review »

The majority of the work I do is under headphones (quality control editing for broadcast) and I stumbled across this podcast from an article mentioning the Glenn Schick episode where he talks about mastering on headphones. (Episode #50) After that episode I was completely hooked and binge...Read full review »

Good info, but rather than just describing what he’s doing I’d much rather hear examples. Stopped listening as a result.

I just recently discovered this podcast a month ago. I’ve been recording and engineering my own music for years and after only 12 episodes, I understand so much more about not only mastering and dynamics and loudness, but about the mindset of making great music in general. The first episodes are...Read full review »

Ian is always a great source of relevant knowledge. These podcasts will surely be the most revealing and in depth discussions on mastering by pros for pros and all the rest. Thanks

Siggidori via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 06/07/18
Loving this podcast. As a mostly self taught ITB electronic rock producer (think NIN-ish) I have had a lot of questions about where to take things and how to improve. There is some REAL knowledge being dropped here. Forget endless YouTube “pros”. Listen to this. Also excited to pick up the...Read full review »

Thanks for the coherent explanation of LUFS and dispelling the practice of mastering by numbers. It makes total sense to use the Short Term reading as you explained it. The fog has lifted.
