Lowland Masters was set up in 1999 by Nigel Palmer, a music industry veteran with many credits since the early eighties as a sound engineer, mixer, producer and musician, and from 1995 as a mastering engineer. He's written reviews and features for Audio Media magazine since 2000, and regularly contributes to audio-related discussions on the internet. Lowland Masters' clients include artists, labels and institutions both in the UK and elsewhere: customer service and fair pricing are important to us, and we're proud of our high level of repeat bookings and referrals.

With a SADiE digital audio workstation at the hub, our advanced outboard gear, selected plug-ins and CEDAR denoisers process audio in a neutral-sounding monitoring environment, the key to a polished and musical presentation which will sit comfortably alongside other commercially released material.
