Mark Chalecki at Capitol Mastering?

[Renadatender]

I have been looking at mastering engineers around LA the last few weeks. Anyone had anything mastered by Mark? THANKS!!

Haven't sent anything to Mark...

But I have the "Black One" album that he did from Sunn O))).

There are some dynamic/sub bass things on there that made me wonder how he managed to get things hot and not crap things out. It's a obscenely oppressive/dark record so I don't suggest it for a typical sample of his work.

But we used to use the same Neve transfer desks as Capitol at Lacquer Channel - so he must be cool!

Mark Chalecki (me) has just left Capitol Mastering and started his own room in Glassell Park, 90065, near the vibrant music scene of Silverlake, California.

I can be contacted through mark@littleredbookmastering.com

Thanks, Mark.

I hate mastering though. I just finished an album with a "big name" mastering guy and seems like he just bought a compressor because killed the dynamics and the snare desapear. My experience with Mark is that he is very responsable with the Dynamics

Check out Mike Lazar at Paramount Mastering.

As the original post was from 4 years ago, your recommendation may be a bit tardy! Strange choice for your very first post ever (but you're not alone it appears).

BTW, Mark is no longer with Capitol. He has his own place called Little Red Book Mastering (link above). Good guy, both as an engineer, and as a person the few times I've spoken to him.
