Welcome to ZenMastering...

We are a professional audio/CD (pre)mastering facility located in San Diego, California offering high-resolution audio mastering, sound restoration, and post-production services to musicians, record labels, and film producers.

Paul Abbott opened ZenMastering with one goal: provide world-class mastering and personalized service at a price every musician can afford.

Over the past eight years he’s done that for hundreds of artists in more than 30 states in America and 17 countries around the world! His client list includes world-famous names such as R.E.M’s Mike Mills and Hootie & the Blowfish’s James Sonefeld, along with countless indie garage bands.

Paul’s audio articles have been published in EQ, Tape Op, and Sound on Sound magazine, and he is among a select group of engineers featured in Music Connection magazine’s annual “Masters of Mastering” spotlight. Paul has also been a voting member of the Audio Engineering Society since 2003.
