My mastering philosophy is to maintain as much of the original vibe as possible.
The clothes seem to be back, but it’s not the ‘90s anymore. What I mean by that, is that it’s no longer necessary to crank your tracks to the technical limits of the medium they are being released on. What we’re looking for in a mastered collection of songs in 2025, is vibe, cohesion, and listenability. In my opinion, that involves preserving some nice dynamic range in the tracks.
I’ve been the writer, tracking engineer, performer, and mixing engineer for my own projects before. It’s very difficult to let go when you get to the end of a project, and unfortunately, by that point, your ears are often the worst possible ears to be making critical decisions about the technical aspects of final output. You’re over-invested by then and ear-fatigued by then. Maybe you never really want to hear these songs again in your life (for now); this is where I come in. I do! And I want to get them sounding their best!
