John Dent’s mastering credits include seminal albums by Bob Marley, Grace Jones, Motörhead, the Stranglers and a whole lot more. Key to his approach is a life-long dedication to sound, sonics and music. His mastering studio is an extension of his ears, creating an environment that allows him to recognize the equipment used on a recording, from the workstation to the length of the cables. In his lecture at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy, Dent gave his own answer to the question of why mastering matters, in the process conjuring up a fantasia land of sound.
