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