Katie Tavini is a mastering engineer from Manchester, working in Brighton. Katie began working as a producer and engineer in 2009 before a piece of advice changed everything for her. “I was looking to improve my mixes,” she recalls. “Someone told me that if I wanted to do that I should learn to master. Whether it was good advice or not I took it. I loved what I discovered and never looked back.” Mastering clients have included Decca Records, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Nadine Shah, Abi Wade and Sonic Boom Six. As well as working as a mastering engineer, Katie also hosts Red Bull's Normal Not Novelty engineering workshops, and has a monthly column in Pro Sound News Europe.
