Welcome to IO Mastering, home of Grammy-Nominated Mastering Engineer Don Tyler.
Don Tyler is a Los Angeles based Grammy-nominated mastering engineer with over two decades of experience and an extensive discography that includes luminaries from all genres of music. From multi-platinum artists like James Blunt, KISS, Barenaked Ladies, Cake, New Radicals, Beck and Elliott Smith, to old favorites like Devo, Love and Rockets, The Pixies, Dead Can Dance, and Bow Wow Wow.
Mastering isn't any one thing, it’s many elements combined. It’s about bringing out the full potential of your music. It’s about making your songs fit together and flow from track to track in an album context. It’s about unmasking details, meeting genre conventions and technical protocol for delivery, distribution & manufacturing - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Budgets vary, but if you’re here because you’re an independent electronic musician in need of mastering, send me an email and I’ll do my best to accommodate your project.
