Bob Boyd / Ambient Digital Mastering

About Me


I am a mastering engineer based in Houston, TX. I started my studio, Ambient Digital, to provide a detailed, high-end solution for mixing and mastering. Regularly trusted by major labels and independent artists, Ambient Digital has grown to be one of the best mastering rooms available. Since 1993, major label clients have included: Columbia Records, Sony/BMG, Epic Records, Sparrow/EMI, Warner, Nettwerk, Fervent Records, Credential Recordings, Word, Provident, InPop, INO, Flicker, Vineyard, Integrity, and Metalblade. I've mastered projects mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, Bob Rock, Brendon O'Brien, and Arnold Lanni.
