fot. Ted Jensen Mastering born Sep 19th, 1954 in New Haven, Connecticut. Ted Jensen is an American recording engineer. Jensen is the chief mastering engineer at Sterling Sound. He started his career as a mastering engineer in 1976 and is currently the most active Mastering Engineer in the industry. In total, he has mastered, engineered, or mixed more than 2400 albums from more than 1100 pop and rock musicians. In 2003, he received a Grammy Award as master engineer of the Norah Jones album, Come Away with Me, which won Album of the Year. In recent years he has come under scrutiny for being the mastering engineer behind some of the most poorly mastered albums in terms of dynamics, usually referred to as the Loudness Wars; this includes the albums Death Magnetic by Metallica, and Black Gives Way to Blue by Alice in Chains. However in the case of Metallica's dynamically-challenged release an e-mail claiming to have come from Ted Jensen states that the mixes arrived that way and that he was not proud to have been associated with the release.

George Marino Mastering born 1947 in United States. He won the Grammy for mastering the 2011 Album of the Year "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire. Looking through George Marino's discography, it is no surprise that he was a legend in the mastering business. As a young man in the early 70s, he began a streak of iconic albums that continue to the 2010's. George joined Sterling Sound in the summer of 1973 where he has worked on many of the industry's most influential albums including recent Billboard chart toppers like Coldplay's "Parachutes", Bon Jovi's "Lost Highway", The Offspring's "Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace", Three Doors Down's eponymous release and Arctic Monkey's "Favourite Worst Nightmare" as well as Billboard classics including Journey's "Frontiers", Cyndi Lauper's "She's So Unusual", eponymous releases by both Kiss and The Cars, Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" and Guns N' Roses "Appetite for Destruction". George started as a musician, playing rock n' roll guitar in New York City bands. His first job in the industry was as a librarian and assistant at Capitol Studios in 1967. He then apprenticed in the mastering department, helping cut rock, pop, jazz and classical albums. When Capitol shut down its New York studio, and before heading to Sterling Sound, George joined the fledgling Record Plant, eventually becoming a partner in the recording-mastering studio. There he quickly established his reputation with projects such as Don McLean's "American Pie" and classic albums by the Allman Brothers Band and Stevie Wonder. As is clear in his discography, George used to be sought out for his versatility and dead-on instincts on how music should sound. R.I.P. Jun 4th, 2012. Died of: Lung cancer.
