Remote mastering for independent artists and labels, based in Southsea, Portsmouth.

I’m Phil Crow (sometimes known as filcro), a mastering engineer with decades of experience working with music and sound.

After spending a long time with a mix, it’s easy to lose perspective. A fresh pair of ears can help bring clarity to the final stages and make sure your music comes across the way you intend.

My approach to mastering is simple: refine what’s already there without compromising the character of the mix. Sometimes that means making careful adjustments to tone, dynamics or level. Sometimes very little needs doing at all.

What matters is how the music feels, how it translates, and how it connects with the listener.

Getting started

Send me your final mix and tell me a little about the project and what you’re aiming for.

I’ll listen through before starting. If I hear anything I think is worth addressing in the mix first, I’ll let you know.
