Mastering Engineer's Best Kept Secret

Building on a solid foundation from recording to mixing paves the way for a stellar master. But a mastering engineer's best-kept secret? The courage to push back on the mix and production to achieve greatness.
Remember, mastering can't mend poor production or mixing. 
Produce like there's no mixing, and mix like there's no mastering. 🎧✨
