Meet The JCMC Team

"Upon entering the room, one feels that great art has been realized here before. One senses that the ghosts of wunderous recordings are sitting on the walls of the studio cheering on the new-comer. The electricity fuels our aural sense and inspires our quest for audio greatness. We put on our black lab coats and our masks as to not be seen (or heard) as our fingerprints should not be detected and then, we fight the devious frequencies that have clouded judgement for as long as the phallic tools of audio reproduction have committed them to life. Whoa." - Author Witheld

Short of the engineers at JCM wearing the masks (well maybe sometimes) we think that sounds about right.

From consistently creating great sounding masters to being efficient and timely on deliveries of final media to any location on the globe, the friendly staff at João Carvalho Mastering make the whole mastering experience painless from start to finish. No question is too small and no task is too large. We are always available to assist you .
