My guest today is Justin Perkins a mastering engineer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who has worked on remastering projects for The Replacements, En Vogue, Ol\\u2019 Dirty Bastard, and mastering projects for Michael Franti &\\xa0 Spearhead, Tommy Stinson, The Gaslight Anthem, Smoking Popes,\\xa0 Anberlin, Screeching Weasel, The Mr. T Experience, and thousands of other independent bands and artists around the world.\\xa0

Before transitioning to mastering full-time he also spent time at Butch Vig\\u2019s Smart Studios in Madison Wisconsin recording and mixing a\\xa0 number of projects, and has been working full-time in the audio field for nearly 20 years. His studio Mystery Room Mastering has been in business since 2009.\\xa0

Growing up and playing in bands in the midwest is what helped\\xa0 Justin formulate a career in audio and ultimately led to playing bass for a time in the band Screeching Weasel, as well as playing bass for Tommy Stinson\\u2019s solo shows, and the relaunch of Tommy Stinson\\u2019s post-Replacements band called Bash & Pop who released a new album in 2017 on Fat Possum Records and performed on The Late\\xa0 Show with Stephen Colbert.\\xa0

Aside from mastering tons of singles, EPs, and albums, Justin also masters nearly all the content for The License Lab which is a library music company based in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and recently started doing a monthly livestream for Steinberg Media to help both new and current users of WaveLab Pro get a better understanding of how to use it.\\xa0

Justin has also written a number of articles for the popular website\\xa0 The Pro Audio Files on the topic of mastering, preparing for mastering,\\xa0 and an overview of what types of master files you may need for various release formats.
