MASTERS THAT LAST FOREVER
Rose Quartz Mastering is a mastering facility in San Diego, California owned and operated by Mastering Engineer Sam Kumar Tandon. His unique approach has contributed to thousands of releases for artists like Beauty Sleep, Paul Wall, Jelani Aryeh, THRONE, Lutan Fyah, Yvie Oddly, and hundreds more across labels like Sony Music, Alcopop! Records, Gunner Records, Best Life Records, and many others.
We view mastering as a vocation. It’s the craft that allows us to be a small part of the magic that comes from local and international independent and underground music scenes. We are dedicated to the music, the art, and the people we're privileged to work alongside every day.

“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

“Righteous and Terrifying”
— Ryan McGroarty, producer & mix engineer in Belfast, Ireland

“Everything is so forward! The drums sit better than I ever thought they would. The kick and bass relationship is heavenly. It’s not too loud but the amount of depth is beautiful. And the vocals sit exactly where I want them to. It’s perfect.”
— Nicholas Kenton, producer & mix engineer in Nashville, TN
-
"Sam brings a relaxed professionalism to the studio. His chill attitude and a great ear for music make for an enjoyable and productive session. I'm definitely going to work with him again in the future."
