About the state of the mastering industry.
“When I got into it, it was definitely considered an art form. You would be an apprentice, working with someone who knew what they were doing, and you’d work with them for years. That’s how I learned. That's how my heroes learned.
These days, there are some who want to get into it for the right reasons, but some think they just need a plugin or a program and they can become a mastering engineer. They think they can put something on the back of a mix bus and just call it mastered. That isn’t the art form of translatability. It's not understanding the manufacturer. It's not understanding distribution. It's not even understanding what the artist wants.
And AI mastering is the dumbest thing in the world.”
