Writing a bio for myself in the third person always seemed a bit weird to me, so–
Hello! My name is Pierce Johnston, I am a mastering engineer living and working in New York’s Hudson Valley.
I’ve been working in the recording industry for 13 years now, with the last 8 dedicated solely to mastering.
In those years, I’ve worked on thousands of songs with hundreds of artists, all across the world.
I love helping artists and bands achieve the sound they’ve always envisioned for their music.
Every project is different!

Here’s Some Helpful Info Before You Get Started:
-
This would be any additional mix other than the main mix of the song, including Instrumental, A cappella, Vocal Up/Down, TV, Radio, etc. There is a small additional charge for each mix.
THESE ALTERNATE MIXES ARE SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN MIX FILE AND MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE MIX ENGINEER.
-
16-bit, 44.1khz (Standard CD Quality) & 24-bit , 48hz (‘High Res’ Streaming Quality) stereo wav files are included with every project.
** I recommend using the ‘High-Res’ files when possible. At the moment, most streaming upload services accept the higher resolution, 24-bit files; but not all do, so I include both files. **
-
DDP: If you plan to have your album pressed to CD, DDP is the best way to submit your files (provided your pressing plant of choice accepts them). DDP images not only include your music, but also important metadata as well.
Vinyl Pre-Master: If you plan on pressing your album to vinyl, I HIGHLY recommend getting a second set of masters with the physical limitations of vinyl kept in mind. Mastering specifically for vinyl will help the cutting engineer achieve the best sound possible for your release. Vinyl pre-masters also include a cue sheet, which is also helpful for the cutting and manufacturing process.
-
Sequencing: The order of your tracks, you can either number the files you are submitting or just let me know in the form! Want a specific length of time between songs? Have any songs that you want to overlap or flow into each other? Give me a short description of where you want each track to start/end, or upload an example track for me to follow.
General Info: I’m here to help you make your music sound as best as possible. To do this, it helps to know what final product you have in your mind. What’s your vision for this project? Get into the nitty gritty of what you want out of your songs. Are there any songs that inspired you? Let me know any songs you think I should listen to before working on your project! Any amount of information is incredibly helpful!
