CHRIS KASPER
Twenty-five years behind the sound.
Chris has spent his career working across nearly every corner of professional audio—as a professional musician, live sound engineer, broadcast audio engineer for radio and television, college-level audio engineering instructor, commercial A/V integrator and mastering engineer. His work has taken him to more than 15 countries across four continents, and he has mastered more than 300 albums for artists around the world.
That range of experience brings a wider perspective to mastering: an understanding of the music from the performer’s side, the technical discipline to make it translate, and the judgment to know when the best decision is to leave something alone.
