About this episode

In this special 100th episode, Ian is interviewed by Matt Boudreau, discussing his journey in music and mastering engineering.

I wanted to do something a little different to mark the 100th episode, but wasn't sure what. I was wondering about interviewing myself but that seemed a little weird... And then Matt Boudreau from the excellent Working Class Audio podcast invited me back onto his show, and it occurred to me - I could get Matt to interview me, which would be way more fun and get some much more interesting questions ! So here it is. Matt and I talk about all kinds of things including: My background in music, production and music technology How I got my start as a mastering engineer The responsibilities of the mastering engineer (and the mistake that nearly cost me my job) My first mastering chain, and how it inspired my Perception AB plugin How I feel about being 'The Loudness Guy' Hardware versus 'in-the-box' mastering Why mastering matters And loads more !
