October/November/December ’12

There was so much action at the end of an already action packed year that I haven’t had time to update this site in a few months.  I was down for about a week while I moved my studio back to the Bay View area.  I’m still doing all the mastering work for The License […]

August/September ’12

I had the pleasure of mastering The Figgs Anthology Volume 1, marking the 25th anniversary of the band.  The compilation features 25 tracks (a few from pretty much every studio album and EP), plus a couple previously unreleased tracks and alternate mixes.  This should be out sometime later this year on CD. I just wrapped […]

June/July ’12

Much of June and part of July was spent mixing (and then mastering) the debut album from Hugh Bob And The Hustle. It’s being uploaded for replication this week so I think it should be available soon. Also in June, I mastered projects for Ruby Stinson, Whiskeybelles, Elusive Parallelograms, Shoot Down The Moon, Low Voltage Rangers, […]

April/May ’12

Some recent mastering projects include a Disguised As Birds / Hot Coffin split 7″.  I had the pleasure of mastering an EP by Moon Curse that is available online now and possibly vinyl later.  I mastered two singer-songwriter type projects in April.  One was an EP by Kelly Steward from Rockford, IL and another extended EP […]

Dec/Jan ’12

Wow, busy times…where to start. Well, the documentary Undefeated won an Oscar for best documentary.  Most of the music for this film was recorded at Mystery Room last year and written by Dan McMahon and Miles Nielsen. I did a bunch of mastering projects to start of 2012 including projects for The Hussy, Allen Cote, […]

Nov/Dec ’11

It’s the end of a crazy year at Mystery Room Mastering.  I am currently doing mastering (and select mixing work) at a new location.  The new room is a part of a bigger complex called Burst HQ.  The guys at Burst have launched a new company along with a few others called The License Lab […]

Sept/Oct ’11

As of Dec 1st will be joining the guys at Burst HQ as they launch the License Lab.  I will still be taking on mastering projects as usual (and some mixing as time permits) but I’ll be doing it at Burst HQ and I’ll be doing some work for them as well.  I’m a little […]
