Hermetech Mastering
Gregg Janman

Mastering Engineer

I’m an audio mastering engineer based in Paris, France, with over fifteen years experience in professional audio. The name “Hermetech” is a portmanteau word based on the ancient Greek “Hermes”, the messenger god of science, and “Techne”, which means craft or art. The idea inherent in the name is that mastering is a dynamic synthesis of art and science.

I am very happy to work with any style of music. As a lifelong music lover with wide ranging tastes, and someone who is extremely concerned with high sound quality, I give my utmost attention to detail when mastering your music. I am a full time mastering engineer, (not a regular recording/mixing studio doing mastering work “on the side”), with a space and equipment entirely dedicated to that purpose.

I spend a long time just listening to your music, both before and after processing (I can instantly A/B any two sources to within a quarter dB), to ensure that things really do sound better. To this end, I employ a number of tools such as high quality D/A and A/D conversion, analogue compression and equalisation, and digital limiting. After processing the file it will then be ready for pressing and distribution.

I am an official Apple approved “Mastered for iTunes” provider, and also offer a very high quality vinyl to digital transfer service. Read more

    Very affable to speak to, rapid speed, and wonderful masters of my 3-track EP! Offered to redo them if I wasn't satisfied as well. Was such a pleasure to work with across the board. :)

    Gregg is a master. He did some audio restoration and mastering (digital and vinyl) on a hip hop mixtape that sounded hideous before he touched it. Technically brilliant with ears to match. Oh, he is also a super nice guy that loves what he does and it shows. He is also very supportive and eager to connect like-minded people.

    I had been working diligently on a track, aiming to get more depth and punch on the low end, but not achieving quite what I wanted. After discussing the issue I was having with Gregg and making a few tweaks to the mix per his recommendations I sent him the track. I was very pleased with what I received in return. Exactly what I had been going for; the low end had the separation, depth and punch I had failed to achieve on my own. I wouldn't hesitate to use Hermetech Mastering again.
