I do things musically.

I've been studying music for over 10 years now, as a drummer, orchestral percussionist, composer, producer, and of course engineer. Although technical specifications must be met when finishing off tracks, what is of the most importance, is they must sound musically complete.

Techno can hit you in the chest and rumble, but can also be mellow and floaty. Electro can be transient and dynamic, but equally, it can sound excellent loud and distorted. There is no catch-all style for all styles - every piece of music is unique, and requires unique processing, mixing, and consultation with the artist to realise their vision. That’s where I come in.

 

Mastering

General notes

I am on holiday between 24 April - 13 May. Masters will be done by Matthew Gault during this time, feel free to order as normal. Contact for any changes at gaultaudio@outlook.com

Please send your premaster well ahead of schedule. There may need to be mix alterations. Lead time for Masters can be anywhere from same-day delivery to 10 working days. It just depends on my current workload. If your deadline is closer, please get in touch with me via email dave@modded.studio or Instagram @mod.r_dave - but getting in touch does not guarantee delivery.

Unlimited revisions until you are happy - this is a collaborative process. I will work with producers to give advice if it is necessary. Our shared goal is to make the tracks sound excellent and communicate their musical ideas as intended.

Don't just take my word for it.

Here’s what the industry has to say about my services.

“David has been instrumental in Hyperdome's releases to date - offering a fast, efficient and competitive service that doesn't disappoint. David gives realistic expectations on timelines and always meets them. His mastering work consistently sounds crisp and punchy and never disappoints. I'd highly recommend him for all mastering work that you might need”

— Hyperdome Recordings

 

“Working with Dave is always a pleasure. He is professional and has helped me become a better mixer, providing educational material and excellent feedback. Most importantly, his masters bang and are full of texture. I use him for my own work and that of our label. Could not recommend more highly!”

— Bass Water Freak Out - Adrian Asher

“Dave is an absolute gem to work with. A nice guy, with plenty of advice for us when mixdowns we sent over for our label weren’t quite up to scratch. After that, Dave provided us with clean, loud and well pronounced masters that were individually tailored to each track we sent over. We sent over a total of 20 tracks, and every master we received sounded delightful. Couldn’t recommend anyone else!”

— Brick Sweat Records

 

“Super professional, fast and convenient, would definetely recommend”
