ROSE QUARTZ MASTERING

MASTERS THAT LAST FOREVER

MASTERING WITH SAMMY

I'm Sam Kumar Tandon, a mastering engineer and owner of Rose Quartz Mastering in San Diego, California. I’ve mastered thousands of songs for artists like Paul Wall, Yvie Oddly, Plastique Tiara, Jelani Aryeh, THRONE, Lutan Fyah, and many more across labels including Sony Music Japan, Alcopop! Records, Gunner Records, and Best Life Records.

Mastering starts with a conversation. When you send me a mix, I listen to the music and to you, because a great master begins with understanding your goals for the record. My role is to protect what you've created and make it sound right everywhere people hear it. I'll tell you what the record needs and why, and I’ll keep at it until it's right. When it's done properly, the song just sounds more like itself.

“Sam is one of the very few mastering engineers I trust to enhance the music while still doing justice to the song, leaving my mix and productions intact. The clients are given the best version of their vision. Period.”

- Richie Beretta, Mixer & Producer (Beyoncé, Major Lazer, Diplo, A$AP Ferg)

“An acute ear. It’s the most important piece of gear that a mastering engineer has at their disposal. This is what Rose Quartz brings to mastering, and it's why I continually bring them my mixes. Besides having killer gear; I know that they will take the time to listen to the music and craft a master that always exceeds my expectations."

- Rich Stine from The Byrd House in Richmond, VA
