24-96 Mastering

Robin Schmidt played the drums from the age of 9, the guitar from the age of 12 and was recording 8-track demos at the age of 14. During his youth, he played in a big band, a jazz quartet, pop, rock, ska and even death metal bands while recording anyone and anything, from Britpop to Ukranian Fusion Jazz, from Armenian Folk Music to German Krautrock.

He left school to take up the job of resident engineer at Studio-22 in Germany, before studying at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Here his passion for mastering developed. He began mastering recordings for fellow students, but soon progressed to working with national and international clients.
