Mastering engineer Brian Lucey isn't concerned about loudness wars and high resolution files. He just wants to move air and the people that hear your mix. Fortuitously, when he first took a call from 'Dan, the producer out of Akron' in 2008, Brian Lucey had just spent the previous couple of days mulling over the best way to answer the question mastering engineers always get asked: 'How does your work compare with Sterling Sound, etc, etc?' It's a tough one. No one likes self-aggrandising, but if you're not confident in your work, why would anyone else be either? So he gave his new answer, straight-up and honest: "Well my clients say the work is on par with those people," started Lucey. "But obviously those are industry giants who've been around for decades. I will never have their history, and my name doesn't have that kind of cachet."
