Description

Today’s guest is Madison, Wisconsin based mastering engineer Justin Perkins. Justin currently works out of his studio Mystery Room Mastering where he has worked on projects for artists such as The Replacements, Jason Mraz, Busta Rhymes, and North Mississippi Allstars, as well as countless independent artists from around the world. He’s also worked at Butch Vig’s Smart Studios, actively played in numerous bands, and written various articles for The Pro Audio Files. We have a great chat about the importance of communication, how to choose a mastering chain, and why relationships still matter more than social media.
