Meet Heba Kadry, Mastering Engineer to the Indie Stars #MusicMonday
Mastering Engineers don’t always get a lot of spotlight but the impact they have on the final product in undeniable. Really cool bio/interview from Pitchfork on Heba Kadry.
In this room, Kadry is a therapist and a translator, a problem solver and a highly skilled technician. She’s put her refining touch on dozens of records over the last five years, from Oscar-nominated scores to Yaeji mixtapes, Beach House B-sides to Diamanda Galás remasters. In addition to mastering—that is, putting a final polish on songs and perfecting a record’s overall sonic cohesion—she advises on track sequencing to give albums a memorable flow, a process she likens to a curator deciding the layout of an art show.
