Mike Chav mastering Jay Electronica's "Act 1"

"I’ve been using Aria Mastering (where you can control a robotic arm on analog equipment) for a long time now, so I know how to get it to do what I want." When it comes to working on classic hip-hop & rap records, you’d be hard pressed to find someone with a deeper pedigree than Mike Chav. From helping build J-Dillah’s legendary studio to working on records with Eminem, D12, Snoop Dogg and more, he’s a legend. But working as a close collaborator to hip-hop royalty J Electronica on the classic Act 1: Eternal Sunshine is one of his most important contributions to music. And 15 years after its release, Mike decided it was time to master this landmark album.

Instead of turning to a big-name Mastering Engineer, Mike chose Aria Mastering to handle this critical task.
