Hot take
David Collins Mastering is the go-to for artists seeking prestige and absolute sonic polish, with Dave Collins himself being a multi-Grammy-winning engineer whose credits include everyone from Soundgarden to Linkin Park, major film soundtracks, and a host of legacy acts. He’s known for his nuanced, musical approach and a commitment to transparency—client mixes are enhanced, not mangled, and producers rave about the way his masters retain punch and dynamics while still competing loudness-wise. However, this level of expertise and reputation comes at a notable premium, and the demand can make turnaround slower than budget or automated services. Independent artists might find the process less accessible due to price or scheduling, but the results speak for themselves: timeless masters, respected by industry pros.
