With many aspiring engineers looking to elevate their skills, it\u2019s crucial to gain insights from experienced professionals. This post explores a conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abbeyroad.com\/engineer\/stefan-brown\"><strong>Stefan Brown<\/strong>, a mastering engineer at the legendary <strong>Abbey Road Studios<\/strong><\/a>, where he shares his journey, techniques, and experiences in the industry.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Starting Out in Mastering<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Stefan began his mastering journey about seven or eight years ago, influenced by a childhood filled with music. Growing up in a household where music was constantly playing, he developed an ear for quality sound. His father owned the record store Sister Ray in Soho, London, which further cemented his love for music, notably artists such as The Cure, David Bowie, Gary Numan, Bauhaus, and David Sylvian. Stefan\u2019s early fascination with liner notes led him to discover the world of mastering, particularly through the works of renowned mastering engineer Greg Calbi. At the age of 20, Stefan ventured into mastering himself and quickly began building a client base in underground dance and electronic music scenes while completing a degree in\u00a0<i>Audio Engineering<\/i>\u00a0at\u00a0<b>SAE Institute London<\/b>. He specialises in genres including techno, industrial, rock, metal, noise, experimental, trap, drill, rap\/hip-hop, EDM and house across both stereo and stem mastering projects.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62715 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1360\" height=\"517\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front.png 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-150x57.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-80x30.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-320x122.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-770x293.png 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-40x15.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-160x61.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-640x243.png 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/AR-Front-385x146.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Transitioning to Abbey Road<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Stefan has worked with countless artists and labels worldwide, serving as the in-house mastering engineer for London\u2019s\u00a0<b>Revok Records<\/b>\u00a0since their inception, collaborating with prominent Detroit-based tech-house labels like\u00a0<b>KIK DRM<\/b>,\u00a0<b>Good Ground Recordings<\/b>,\u00a0<b>Fly Over Records<\/b>,\u00a0<b>Jendex<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Moorgate Records<\/b>\u00a0and mastering vinyl releases for Berlin\u2019s\u00a0<b>Subverted Records<\/b>, a prominent Queer experimental techno label.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">After honing his skills in his own studio, Stefan reached out to Lucy, who runs the mastering department at Abbey Road, about two years ago.

He appreciates the detail and transient response of these headphones, which allow him to hear the subtleties in music. Stefan often balances his time between speakers and headphones, depending on the type of track he\u2019s working on. Specific gear Stefan finds integral to his studio is the <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/9LL62Y\">Elysia Alpha Compressor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/xL5zLR\">Whitestone P331 EVL Loading Amplifier<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/DyeRya\">SPL Vitalizer Mk3<\/a>, and the Thermionic The Kite. These pieces of gear sound incredible just running the signal through, and allow for broad control of vibe and tone, creating exciting and impactful masters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Mastering in the Box vs. Hardware<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">While working in the box, Stefan emphasizes the importance of plugins in achieving a polished sound. He often uses <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/kOMJO3\">Fabfilter Pro Q<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/GKVRK9\">Pro C<\/a>, and various saturation plugins to enhance the audio. However, he also recognises the value of hardware, particularly for adding warmth and character to a mix. His approach varies depending on the track, sometimes opting for all hardware or relying solely on software.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62717 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"779\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-scaled.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-150x57.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-768x292.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-1536x584.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-2048x779.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-80x30.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-320x122.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-770x293.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-40x15.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-160x61.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-20x8.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-640x243.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-385x146.jpg 385w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8ec14632-9107-4e3e-b3cf-d003232e8a45-1540x585.jpg 1540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Creative Process in Mastering<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Stefan\u2019s approach to mastering is deeply rooted in respecting the artist&#8217;s vision. He often communicates with artists to understand their intentions and emotional content behind the music, whether that means creating more spacial depth, enhancing aggression, pushing the groove harder to create more bounce, or manipulating small details such as vocal inflections and guitar plucks.. This dialogue helps him make informed decisions during the mastering process, ensuring that the final product aligns with the artist&#8217;s creative goals and creates a lasting impact on the listener.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Using Stems in Mastering<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">While Stefan does occasionally request stems from artists to address specific issues, he is cautious about not overstepping. He aims to maintain the integrity of the original mix, only making adjustments when necessary. This respect for the artist&#8217;s work is a cornerstone of his philosophy, especially when working with independent and underground musicians. Stems allow Stefan to fix issues more transparently than if working on the mix file, and make further improvements, which can be more dramatic and effective.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Techniques for Enhancing Tracks<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">When faced with a track that feels flat, Stefan employs techniques such as multiband compression and expansion to restore dynamics. He utilises tools like the <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/gO6aO2\">Newfangled Audio Punctuate plugin<\/a>, which allows for precise transient shaping, and the Elevate limiter, which offers multiband control while preserving transients.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-62718 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"956\" height=\"718\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1.png 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-320x240.png 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-226x170.png 226w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-770x578.png 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-40x30.png 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-160x120.png 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-20x15.png 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-640x481.png 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-807x606.png 807w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-453x340.png 453w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-13x10.png 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-399x300.png 399w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-12x9.png 12w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/thumbnail_PunctuateScreenshot-1217x914-1-385x289.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Choosing the Right Plugins<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">Stefan has a repertoire of trusted plugins, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetwater.sjv.io\/zxbnxW\">Brainworx VSM-3<\/a> and various saturation tools. He often experiments with different settings and combinations to achieve the desired sound. His process is flexible, allowing him to adapt to the needs of each individual track.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p3\"><b>Final Touches<\/b><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">As he approaches the final stages of mastering, Stefan carefully considers the balance between loudness and clarity. He often uses a combination of high-end boosting and low-end saturation to create a full, rich sound. The goal is to enhance the emotional impact of the music without compromising its original essence.
