New mastering facility Tangerine Mastering (www.tangerinemastering.com) hosted a welcome event in late January. The Weehawken, N.J.-based facility is co-owned by industry veterans Gene Holder and Roger Johansen (pictured), with Andreas K. Meyer (formerly of Sony Mastering) serving as lead mastering engineer.
Guests at the gathering soaked up the headroom of the buzzing warren in which Tangerine is located, a creative commune with 19-foot ceilings that is also home to the Neve room HarariVille, Bar/None Records, college radio promotion company The Syndicate and many others. The crowd and networking were great, but the real treat was the John Storyk-designed mastering studio, equipped with a sometimes startling equipment list that contains what Johansen describes as the “the best of analog and the best of digital.” For anyone who hasn't yet been to Abbey Road, the highlight was seeing (and touching, with permission!) the console's EMI Mastering Chain, containing a TG 12412, 12413 and 12414.
