discover your authentic VOICE

For over two decades APS mastering has alchemized raw mixes into sculpted award winning releases. From the indie underground to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, our patrons span all backgrounds and genres.

Located in New York City's vibrant Astoria neighborhood, engineer Alex Saltz has built an acoustically calibrated studio environment with painstakingly sourced equipment that facilitates both artistic exploration and technical scrutiny. We are committed to providing a remarkably positive one-on-one mastering experience-- an intricate, interactive process that preserves and brings to its fullest the essence of an artist's creative expression and intent. We love nothing more than to share our clients' excitement over their completed masters, and feel privileged to take part in delivering their music to the world.

“I’m very picky when it comes to mastering. I’ve worked with many mastering engineers over the years but Alex takes it to a whole different level. His attention to detail is incomparable and he has the best ears in the business in my opinion. Everything always sounds balanced, dynamic and crystal clear!”
