APPROACH

Music in my life has always been a representation of the emotions I was experiencing — an outlet, a reminder, a remedy. I have always respected and enjoyed any music that connects with me emotionally regardless of genre; it has to make me feel something. My work strives to expand on whatever emotions the record is speaking to — to deepen the listener’s connection to your art. Apple Digital Masters and Dolby Atmos Certified.

  • Dolby Atmos has reinvented how entertainment is created and experienced, allowing creatives everywhere to place each sound in a three-dimensional space for a more realistic and immersive audio experience. I cannot overstate how important conveying emotion in music is to me. Dolby Atmos is singlehandedly the most emotional way to experience recorded music. With massive headroom and loudness standardization, all of the subtleties we spend hours obsessing over can be heard and felt in a way that it simply cannot elsewhere.

  • Studio-quality sound. For everyone. By working with the best possible masters Apple is able to offer Apple Music customers the highest possible quality audio. Their latest encoder can take advantage of every bit of the high-resolution masters that I am creating specifically for Apple. The results, both for streaming and download, are virtually indistinguishable from the original 24-bit studio masters. Additionally, Apple Music offers lossless versions of these masters using the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC).

  • With the advancements in audio technology, the classically understood workflow of the engineer is evolving. I strive to push the envelope of what is possible with world class monitoring and the radical idea that all of the finesse and nuance of that monitoring can be replicated with a pair of headphones. With the help of the latest and greatest in audio conversion technology and amplification from Chord Electronics, my studio monitoring is singular. With Chord’s portable solutions, I am able to reproduce my world class facility anywhere at anytime; foregoing the restraints of needing to be tethered to a studio.
