Is Mastering really necessary to finish a record? What exactly… is it?

Suitable for music-makers of all roles and levels.

She is at home with everything from the heaviest metal to the lushest orchestral works and everything in between. A lover of music, Katie enjoys the challenge of taking on new styles and exploring new sonics. Through her work, Katie has become one of the most in-demand mastering engineers in the UK.
