CLAY FRANCIS
MASTERING ENGINEER
World Class Analog Audio Mastering. Trusted by artists around the world.
ABOUT ME
My name is Clay Francis. I am an Edmonton based mastering engineer. I work in a small, private, custom designed analog-based studio. I have worked in mastering for well over a decade and have received recognition and trust from mixing engineers, producers, and artists around the world.
​
For me, mastering is about taking a finished mix and optimizing it to highlight the subtleties in the music created both in the music and the mix. Masters I provide will highlight the best aspects of a mix, and therefore the music, in a way that can be appreciated by listeners regardless of their playback source or environment. Subtlety and attention to detail are of utmost importance.
​
I will work with you and offer unlimited revisions, though rarely needed, to ensure you are beyond satisfied. If you are unsure, I will be more than happy to provide a demo master using your mix for you to hear the results of my work on your mix at no charge. Email me to inquire!
