Mastering is the final step in the creative process, and truly where commercial releases are seperated from those who "don't sound like the others!" When it comes to this important step, we choose to hand over our projects to the biggest and best mastering name in the country.

Rick O'Neil is our senior mastering engineer of choice, and it comes as no suprise when other bigtime artists such as U2, Madonna, Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, Kylie Minogue, Silverchair, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Jimmy Barnes (the list goes on!) have made the same decision.

In mastering your CD ready for manufacturing, there is no better choice.

Rick cut his first vinyl record while still at school at the tender age of 15, at Demo Disc mastering in Petersham in Sydney. He left school in 1985 and started at Festival Records as the first mastering engineer hired in 15 years. After working at Festival for 10 years as their No. 1 vinyl disc mastering engineer, Rick left the company in 1995 and started Turtlerock Mastering.

This unparalleled experience combined with the intimate contact of multi-million selling producers, artists and managers has given Rick an unprecedented insight into the unique machinations of the music business.

In a career getting on 25 years long, Rick has worked on over 10,000 major release records that have sold tens of millions worldwide. His credit list reads like a who's who of the Australian and international music scenes. While working for Festival, he worked face to face with the international hit acts of the eighties and mid-nineties such as U2, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Sting, Huey Lewis, Tina Turner and nearly all of the Australian music industry.
