I am Brandon Fitzgerald and I offer affordable digital mastering at ThrashMasters, in Santa Cruz, CA. It may be a home setup, but I can do some killer shit to maximize your recording.

The goal is to make your recording sound huge, with crisp highs, tight punchy lows, and smooth mids. Also make the track transitions seamless, whether it be track order, spacing, cross-fades, sound clips, or special effects.

I have been an active touring and studio guitarist, vocalist, and song writer for over 10 years and am very particular about precise tone. I have been mastering seriously now for a couple of years (and tinkering around before that). I first began taking my favorite albums that could use a little sound enhancement, and tweaking them to suit my taste.


Services:
  • Digital mastering for projects recorded either digitally or analog.
  • Digital transfers from vinyl, cassette tape, and video feeds.

  • Basically, I make all the finishing touches to a project to make it ready to go to the presses
