Kuhle Sache: Robert Henke interviewt Rashad Becker von Dubplates & Mastering Berlin, der wahrscheinlich besten Audiomasteringmanufaktur dieser Republik. Thema: Klar, Mastering.

Between 1996 and 1998 I worked as mastering engineer and vinyl cutter at Dubplates & Mastering, a company founded by Basic Channel in 1995. Shortly before I left, Rashad Becker joined the team. Over the years he became one of the most inspired and skilled mastering people out there, with an impressive customer list. While still working for Dubplates & Mastering, he now runs his own studio in Berlin Kreuzberg, where he’s doing CD mastering and mixing. The following talk took place during a rainy summer day 2008 in his studio.

Höchst interessant und verdammt ausführlich, wenn auch nicht mehr ganz so frisch.
