The Engineer
I'M MATTEO
Entrusting your music to an external ear is an act of trust. I am a Sound Engineer dedicated to protecting your sonic identity.
VERIFIEDDOLBY ATMOS ENGINEERUniversal Music Group
WORKFLOW
Every project begins with a Dedicated Mix Check: a direct exchange to ensure the master is the exact vision.
THE SERVICES
Mastering
Tridimensionality and absolute control. Through surgical precision, I transform your mix into a competitive master, ensuring perfect translation across every playback system.
Dolby Atmos
Dimension is the New Loud. I translate your music into a 360° immersive experience, giving the sound the spatial freedom it deserves.
THE PORTAL
No email chaos, no lossy previews.
I use a dedicated platform for frame-accurate feedback and secure delivery. Access your masters, leave comments, and approve your final sound through a single lossless link.
Dolby Atmos moves beyond fixed channels into a metadata-driven environment where sound exists as independent objects in 3D space.
IMMERSIVE LISTENING
BINAURAL AUDIO
Use headphones to experience the track in spatial audio.
Editorial Advantage
Apple Music has dozens of editorial playlists dedicated to Dolby Atmos. An Atmos version gives your release a second layer of placement opportunities when you pitch.
The Listener Inside the Mix
Atmos changes the listener's position — from hearing the music to being placed within it. Each element surrounds them in three-dimensional space, creating an emotional depth that stereo can only suggest.
+10% Royalty Uplift
Apple Music pays up to 10% higher royalties for tracks available in Spatial Audio. A long-term return on every track in your digital catalog.

Technical specifications for Stereo files
Please provide 24-bit WAV files (or higher) at your project's native sample rate. Ensure the mix has no limiting and maintains sufficient headroom (at least -3dB to -6dB) for optimal mastering results.
Mixbus processing guidelines
Keep any processing that is integral to your creative sound (e.g., bus compression you mixed into). However, please bypass all final limiters and heavy clipping on the master output before export. If you have been mixing into a limiter to achieve a specific vibe, please provide two versions: the limited reference track (for listening) and the fully un-limited track with plenty of headroom (for actual mastering).
Dolby Atmos asset requirements
For Atmos Mastering, I require the ADM BWF file. For full Atmos Mixing & Mastering, please provide the stereo reference and your mixed stems as 24-bit WAVs at the original sample rate.

Why master in Dolby Atmos?
Atmos mastering includes a QC pass on your immersive mix to flag technical issues, tonal matching with your stereo reference to ensure consistency across formats, and binaural render optimization for accurate headphone playback.
How does the remote workflow work?
Full file transfer and review handled via Fidbak, a frame-accurate collaboration platform. Communication via email or preferred messaging app.
What is your revisions policy?
I offer unlimited revisions on the master to ensure your complete satisfaction.
How do I listen to Dolby Atmos without an Atmos system?
No Atmos system required. You'll receive a binaural render to review in 3D on any standard headphones, plus an MP4 file for everyday immersive devices (like AirPods or Atmos soundbars). Note: these are for review only; the final distribution file is the ADM BWF master.
You will receive a response within 1-2 business day. For rushed projects, you can contact me on on Instagram, WhatsApp or Imessage

Listen to my works
The Engineer
PRECISION IN EVERY LAYER.
Mastering is the bridge between creative vision and the listener's ear. My mission is to protect your sonic identity through surgical accuracy and a deep understanding of spatial movement.
The Environment
ACOUSTIC PRECISION
My mastering suite is a surgically treated environment designed for absolute linear response. The room features a hybrid acoustic design: broadband porous absorption for mid-high clarity, combined with tuned Helmholtz resonators and pressure-based membrane traps to master the low-end energy.
Academic training from the Conservatory meets years of field experience as a recording and mix engineer.

The Philosophy
Specializing in the transition to **Dolby Atmos**, I view immersive audio as a new canvas for music, not just cinema. I focus on the spatialization of every musical element, creating depth and movement that enhances the emotional impact of the song.
Mastering isn't about esoteric secrets. It’s the final architectural touch where technical science meets raw musical emotion.
I’ve always seen mastering as a bridge. It’s often demonized as a "dark art," but for me, it’s a transparent process built on precision and taste. I don't follow trends; I follow the music’s pulse.
My philosophy is simple: Dynamics over Distortion. I respect the original intent of your mix. If it means sacrificing a few decibels of loudness to preserve the clarity and "breath" of a song, I’ll take that path every time. Accuracy is the ultimate luxury.

Linear Phase Control
A surgically controlled environment for critical decisions.
To deliver excellence, you need an acoustic space that doesn't lie. My suite is designed for a perfectly linear response across the entire spectrum.
