September was a big month for new releases that were mastered here. The most notable was The Replacements ‘Tim (Let It Bleed Edition)’. As a Replacements fan, I knew this was a special one, but I didn’t expect to see so much press about it. Pitchfork, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, […]
I just wanted to say thanks to everybody who has helped make this an especially busy year with a ton of great projects. It’s hard to believe we’re entering the last 1/3 of 2023 already. There are so many great projects in the can that can’t be mentioned yet, but in early August, RHINO Records […]
June was another great and busy month here at the studio. A lot of great new releases that were mastered here came out. I also took a day off to set up the new M2 Mac Pro that runs the main studio here. It’s an incredibly fast machine that is really inspiring to work on. […]

I’m happy to announce that the Mystery Room Mastering website is now fully ADA compliant, making it easier for ALL to navigate. Brooklyn noise-rock/punk rock band The Men have a new album out via Fuzz […]
