The Mastering Show #110 - What makes a REAL mastering engineer ?

I'm seeing several different discussions online about what makes a "real" mastering engineer – and some of them are getting pretty heated !

So what really matters the most ? Expertise, experience, or credits ?

In this episode I talk about my own opinions and reasoning, talking about:

• Why credits can be a complete red herring, especially online
• The problem with credits even if they are reliable
• How I got great results with (almost) zero experience
• When years of experience might not be an advantage
• The power (and problems) of trial and error
• When expertise becomes a super-power
