About Stonebridge Mastering

OUR STORY

We have been in operation for 9 years serving clients in nearly every genre. The studio was founded by mastering engineer, Gebre Waddell. It now includes vinyl mastering engineer and acclaimed producer, Jeff Powell (Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Afghan Whigs, B.B. King, Big Star, Primal Scream, Alex Chilton and many more.).

We help artists acheive their artistic vision. To do this we provide the highest level of service and maintain a collection of the finest equipment.

Mastering studios usually spend maybe 4 hours processing an album. We normally prepare many different versions and choose the best -- sometimes spending 2 weeks perfecting our masters for every client. We can work within any timeframe if there is a deadline, but if we will take our time to achieve the very best results at no additional cost.

In 2010 we released "The Frequency Domain", a frequency chart poster that can be found in prominent studios worldwide as well as the Harvard music department and Stanford University.

Our website resources include many one-of-a-kind items which are accessed thousands of times per month. We wrote "The Digital Publishing Standard", reviewed by CISAC in France and ASCAP in New York to provide assistance to anyone who is releasing an album. We continously create resources to help artists reach their goals.

We hope this gives you a sense of our passion. We are not just a mastering studio -- we are dedicated to helping artists achieve success.
