Just finished my fourth consecutive project with Faderhead (mastering). He has a preview online:

I approached the album a little differently than before and was pleased with the results. Of course, 90% of the battle was done in the recording and mixing before I got my greasy mitts on it..... However, due to the variety of songs and the incredible range of dynamics there were some challenges that had to be overcome. Right now I'm prouder of this project than anything else I've done previously.
Favorite tracks: 04 "Inside of Me" and 12 "Ballad of the Weak."
Trivia: "Ballad of the Weak" just didn't want to work well and play with others until I borrowed a stereo pair of Neve 2254's to get the track to "wrap" around the vocal. Once that was set up it took less than 15 minutes to wrap 'er up. An SSL Quad comp also helped out in mysterious ways.
