INTERVIEW: AUSTRALIAN MASTERING ENGINEER IN LA (2025) - DAY 10

Connor sits down with Nicolas from Panorama Mastering at Sound City Studios to showcase his "all-digital" mastering workflow, explaining why he chooses to be in-the-box vs a potential $200,000 analog system. He breaks down his "secret sauce" for achieving analog depth using the Metric Halo MixHead and Acustica Audio plugins, emphasizing that perfect recall and functionality are more vital than owning physical hardware. Ultimately, he highlights that a great listening environment and a focused "in the box" approach are all an engineer needs to deliver world-class masters.
