About

Lurssen Mastering is a world-renowned multi Grammy award-winning facility. We have mastered many gold and platinum records and we have received a number of industry awards. In addition to the Grammys earned and proudly displayed by Lurssen Mastering, numerous songs worked on by the team have been nominated for Oscars over the years and several have won these prestigious awards.

Owner Gavin Lurssen has focused his energies on learning the importance of signal flow: cleaning the chain of unnecessary electronics and amplifiers, focusing on digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital technology and the gain structure that accompanies the process. These and other sensitivities have been built into the Lurssen Mastering studios to create an environment in which the engineer’s response to any particular style of music is matched with the appropriate equipment needed to get the job done.

Gavin's most recent Grammy and first Latin Grammy was awarded November 2010 for his work on Diego Torres' album Distinto. Engineer Reuben Cohen also won a Latin Grammy for his work on this album. Gavin's previous Grammy came in 2009 for mastering the album "Raising Sand," performed by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss and produced by T Bone Burnett, which won the Album of the Year category. In 2002 he received a Grammy for the O Brother Where Art Thou? album which won in the same category. Gavin also won in 2004 in the Best Historical Album category for his work on the box set that accompanied the PBS television series, Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues. Raising Sand also won Gavin and Lurssen Mastering two TEC awards in 2008 for outstanding facility and for mastering.
