My mastering lab is designed around an ASC “Attack Wall” system from Acoustic Sciences.  Monitoring is handled by Presonus Eris Pro full range speaker stacks with ASC sub traps and monitor tops.  For headphones, I use the 2019 flagship Audeze LCD-4’s with an Audeze Deckard amp/DAC to drive them.  Currently, I’m using my Audeze headphones for all of my critical and creative sonic decisions and I only use my speakers for passive listening.

My mastering DAW of choice is Hofa DDP CD Master Pro and I use Izotope RX for repair and restoration when it’s needed.  For processing, I prefer to work 100% ITB these days using a few handpicked plugins along with emulations of famous outboard mastering gear.  As a result, my work has never sounded better and I can actually make my masters sound more analogue working this way than I can using a hybrid approach where I insert my outboard EQ’s, compressors, etc.
