SF Bay Area Mastering Engineers?

Jax · 30th June 2009

Please suggest your favorite SF Bay Area ME's. I'm looking to try a few and see what works best for an upcoming project. Keeping it local so we can sit in and talk to the ME.

Thanks.

I use to use George Horn at Fantasy Studios when I lived in the Bay Area but that was many moons ago.

I was on a panel with Michael Romanowski years ago and highly recommend him and of course on of the best is Paul Stubblebine... from the old Rocket Labs!

Ahh yes, Ken Lee.. Been awhile since ive seen his name pop up. Hes very good. Never met him personally, but hes mastered a number of friends bands and projects and they have all sounded fantastic.

Can't forget Thomas Dimuzio - Gench Studios: Mastering Services - especially for experimental music.

megasonic in Oakland
MegaSonic Sound - Bay Area Recording Studio - High Fidelity Recording, Production, Mixing and Mastering Studio for Music and Voice

oh wait- that's me!

bring a song over + we can discuss...

barring that:
it really depends on the style of music->
I have had projects mastered by Ken Lee numerous times.
I have also had Romanowski do more than a few albums.
Recently I have used John Greenham on two different projects.
Had a blast with Stubblebine mastering a compilation of acoustic guitarists.
Oh yeah + stuff for vinyl @ Fantasy with George Horn. I don't think they're open anymore? maybe he is.
They each have their own sound + strengths. Some folks get a more polite tone, some lean on it a bit harder. really style dictates where I might go for a given project.

Best Vinyl cutting is going to be by Romanowski in his room @ Stubblebine's.

I do the best CD masters though. King of the universe!
