make your music sound great

Work With Me

As well as this site, I run my own company, Mastering Media. There several ways you might like to work with me there.

Mastering Engineer

I have over fifteen years experience as a professional mastering engineer, working on literally thousands of CD, DVD and Blu-ray projects for all of the major record labels, TV stations and independents, including several number one singles and award-winning albums. For more information click here.

Recording & Mixing Engineer, Producer

Mastering is my speciality but I also have a wide range of experience in recording, mixing and production of all kinds. I love helping people make their music sound great ! With broadband internet, we can collaborate effectively even if we’re on different sides of the world - contact me to talk about your project.

Consultancy & Masterclasses

As well as the advice and information offered on this site, I also work as a writer, lecturer and consultant, helping other people get the best out of their recording, mixing and mastering. There are several options:

  • One-to-one assistance – I travel to your location and help you with whatever is challenging you most right now. This could involve working on advanced recording, mixing or mastering techniques; troubleshooting problems with gear, monitoring, acoustics or workflow; refining your existing skills or just taking a particular project to the next level
  • Group masterclasses – Larger groups sessions where I typically cover a specific topic – for example mastering, compression or EQ – and then work with individuals on their own material. This is a very efficient process, allowing all the participants to benefit from each other’s insights and challenges
  • Lecturing - One-off talks on mastering, recording and mixing or the Loudness War – or any other topic of interest !

Contact me to talk about any of these options – or about any other way I can help.

"Production Advice gives me an objective, professional opinion. It's easy to get lost in the details of a recording and mix, whereas Ian sees the bigger picture."
