I work with independent artists to shape tone, depth, and cohesion, so your music doesn’t just sound finished, it feels intentional.

I’m Gene. I got into mastering because I care obsessively about how records feel – not just how they measure. Two-plus decades later, that’s still the whole job. I work with independent artists who feel the same way. No plug-in chains, no templates, no presets. Just signal path, ears, and time – a real mastering process applied to your specific record, not a generalized idea of what it should sound like.

Send a message – include a track link if you have one ready (Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, WeTransfer, etc.).

Analog workflow. Critical listening. No presets.

No commitment – start with a single track.

Not for Everyone — And That’s the Point

• You care about how your record feels, not just how loud it is
• You’re making something meant to last
• You’re releasing an EP or album where every track needs to belong together
• You want someone who actually listens, not a preset

What Happens to Your Music Here

• Low-end that holds up on any system from your phone, to your car, to high end studio monitors
• Depth that draws you in without wearing you out
• Space that lets the emotional content in the music breathe
• Every track feeling like it belongs on the same record
• Ready for release, everywhere it needs to go

What Artists Say

Real feedback from artists I’ve worked with:

“I have used the services of ‘world-class’ mastering engineers at Abbey Road and Metropolis—Gene completely demolishes them.”
— Mike Hurley

“I felt like I had struck gold working with him. His attention to detail really makes the music shine.”
— Glenda Benevides, Grammy-nominated songwriter

“He breathed a life into my track that is just perfect.”
— Parker Gandy

Here’s How We Start:

1. Send a track
2. Mastering pass
3. Review + refine
4. Final delivery

Why This Sounds Different

Most mastering today is optimized for speed and consistency. For a lot of music, that’s exactly right.

This is for the music where that isn’t – where the record has a character worth protecting, and a master should bring that forward, not sand it down.

Analog signal path. No shortcuts. Your record treated like the specific thing it is.

Project Scope

Most projects fall between $100–$200 per track depending on scope and level of detail.

Start with One Track
