Chris Pavey | Mastering Engineer

I mastered my first record in 2012 - Since then I have been able to work with a truly amazing roster of artists and musicians, have been able to master a wide range of music, and create some lasting friendships across the globe.

Located in a quiet village in rural Cambridgeshire UK, is where my studio resides. Built to my high specification (and standards!), its just the perfect place to work. If i’m not in the studio mastering a record, its likely you will find me hiking through the fields up to my knees in mud!

My thoughts on mastering…

Having been involved in the many different parts of the creative process, I can always empathise with an artist about what a total emotional, and physical undertaking it can be to create and release music. So I believe mastering requires 100% open communication and a complete two way dialogue with the artist from the start- in my opinion there is no other way to master a record.

A lot is written on the web about mastering, some true, some false, some fact, some opinion. But if you ask me, there is no secret to mastering, just an unending dedication to perfection.
