Bio
Tony Cousins started his career as a musician. He became a cutting engineer in 1980 at the Townhouse before becoming a fully-fledged audio mastering engineer when he, Ian and Tim started Metropolis Mastering.
Tony feels that the prime objective of audio mastering is to retain the integrity of the music while enhancing it to some degree.
Often the excitement and atmosphere created whilst mixing won’t travel to another location, and Mastering can help restore these elements (assuming they were there in the first place!)
This is why attended sessions are preferable, because working with the people originally involved can often help unravel any difficulties encountered.
Tony enjoys many different types of music. Just concentrating on one area would reduce the variety and richness of his work and would, in his own words, put him in a creative straitjacket.
