Mastering Engineer, Larry
Anthony had his first recording studio experience in 1968
when the band he was in made their first demo recording. This was a
real turning point and he quickly became involved in the recording
process and has pursued this career ever since. Obtaining
degrees in Electronics and Acoustics along with intense studies in
Psycho-acoustics he has dedicated his 37 years of Music Industry
experience to focus exclusively on the best possible mastering
processes. Larry continuously researches the latest and greatest
advances in audio processing and brings all this knowledge and

So, What Is A Mastering Engineer?
The CD mastering engineer is one who has a musical as
well as technical background, good ears, extremely hi-end equipment
that is constantly tested for peak performance, technical knowledge
and has an excellent sense of timing and pitch. He knows how to
operate a wide range of specialized technical equipment, much of
which is not found in the average recording studio. The successful
mastering engineer understands many musical styles, edits music,
and puts it all together with sophisticated digital processing
tools. He is sensitive to the needs of the producer and the artist,
and treats each project with individual and personal attention. He
must understand what will happen to the CD when it hits the radio,
the car, the club, or the home stereo system. When the
mastering process is completed by a professional mastering engineer
you and your listeners will be exposed to the music only, not the
processing which it has under gone. We are adamant about the
end result of your music album that it's all about the music and
all technical process and treatments live behind the curtains of
the stage not out front with your music performance.
