Matthew Wolk Mastering

I want to announce a new side quest I’m perusing in 2026. You might have seen a few stories about some live sound gigs I’ve been supporting with Sofar Sounds, this is just the start. I never really had a desire to get into live sound the after college, but my experience at local shows has been disappointing more often than not. Bad show mixes, unbearably slow set changes, FOH engineers on phones surfing TikTok, generally not playing attention, and missing key solos or performance features during a set. The list goes on…

Live sound is more attention to detail than mastering. There are no revisions, no replaying the song again for fine tuning, you get it right or you mess it up. Seattle has been a music hub for many years and the local musicians deserve a great live show! I want to use my mastering expertise to help level up live sound in a way that makes you feel something, gives you goosebumps, and maybe brings you to tears. I’m going to master live sound! 😉

Stay tuned! I’m getting my chops up with more low pressure smaller shows, but I’m feeling really close to expanding really soon to larger venues, bigger bands, and full digital boards with the ultimate control! If anyone can open some doors around that aspect let me know! Even if it’s just an on-call opportunity.

Stay tuned and keep an eye on that sound booth, I might be the man behind the boards. 🤝

Don’t worry, mastering certainly continues around here full-time during the daylight hours! This is purely a side gig and passion project I’m working towards!

Celebrating 32 yesterday and 11 years of Matthew Wolk Mastering today! 🎉 I don’t think my birthday and business anniversary have ever aligned like this!

There have been a lot of ups and downs both personally and professionally this year, but also so much to be grateful for. No matter what happens we keep pushing forward!

Thank you all for your support over the years!
