Tony Dawsey Lecture (Rome 2004) | Red Bull Music Academy

Tony Dawsey is the guy that people like DJ Premier and Jay-Z (and many, many others) have looked to when they need perfect sound for their records. You could spend hours with this super-humble New York engineer, talking about frequencies, analog versus digital, half-inch tapes and studio monitors, and trying to catch any possible secret of mastering. But through his sharp and on-point answers in this lecture at the 2004 Red Bull Music Academy, you’ll mostly find out that mastering is not a magical process but rather the “icing on the cake.” A very tasty one though, in this case.
