About Me

After fifteen years at Hollywood's legendary mastering studio The Mastering Lab, two-time Grammy Award winner Gavin Lurssen has built a world-class mastering facility in the heart of Hollywood.Gavin's reputation as one of the industry's leading engineers and his experience routinely working on award-winning and chart-topping albums is what drives Lurssen Mastering, a full-service facility on the famous Hollywood Center Stage Studios lot - a location steeped in over 80 years of entertainment industry history.While at The Mastering Lab, Gavin focused his energies on learning the importance of signal flow: cleaning the chain of unnecessary electronics and amplifiers (a contribution to the mastering and recording industry pioneered by Doug and Sherwood Sax), digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital technology, and gain structure. These and other sensitivities have been built into the Lurssen Mastering studios to create an environment in which the engineer’s response to any particular style of music is matched with the appropriate equipment needed to get the job done.The studio's electronics path has been carefully connected, serviced, and approved by legendary Los Angeles technician Charlie Bolois. We use state-of-the-art and highly modified solid state and tube audio processing equipment. All processing is done in the analog domain. Digital programs used to capture and to playback include Sonic Studio and Pro Tools (among others).Over the past fifteen years Gavin routinely worked on albums that were either nominated for or won Grammy awards, as well as numerous albums that made their way onto the Billboard Charts (many reaching 1). In 2002, the first year mastering engineers were included in the "Album Of the Year" category at The Grammys, Gavin was honored in the category for his work on the "O Brother Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.The entire Lurssen Mastering team has also been active over the last several years servicing and supporting independent artists. At this time of transition in our industry, we understand that the emerging independent music scene is a driving force and we are thrilled to participate in it.The team is comprised of the best of the best in the industry. The studio's primary occupants are principal Gavin Lurssen, mastering engineers Jonathan Belzley and Gabriel Wallach, studio manager Leah Tury, and general operations officer Reuben Cohen. We pride ourselves in efficiency and unrivaled world-class client service.We believe in balance: as a way to live life and a way to conduct business. Balance applies to everything and in mastering nothing could be truer. Balanced and competitive audio is what Lurssen Mastering provides to all of our clients. Ages, Over and Out
