Influential Mastering
Posted on | June 29, 2008 |
As a mastering engineer there are a handful of albums that have influenced my work, as well as opened my ears to what really good sound — in specific genres — is. Here’s a short list…
Dr. Dre: The Chronic 2001
David Chesky: Area 31
Sheffield Records: Leinsdorf Sessions
Richard Leo Johnson: Fingertip Ship
Incubus: Morning View
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
The Weavers: Reunion at Carnegie Hall - 1963
Pat Martino: All Sides Now
Some of these recordings are from analog souces, some are digital (AAD, ADD, DDD…as early CDs used to say “back in the day”). And some were digitally mastered and some were analog or analog/digital combination.
They’re proof, though, that great recordings transcend recording, mixing and mastering formats.
