Lowland Masters was founded in 1999 by Nigel Palmer, a music industry veteran with many credits since the early 80s as a sound engineer, mixer and producer, and from 1995 as a mastering engineer. Based in rural Essex, Lowland Masters' clients include artists, labels and institutions both in the UK and, through e-mastering over the internet, around the world.

Lowland Masters operates out of a dedicated studio designed and built from the ground up by Nick Whitaker and Pro Music International. With a SADiE digital audio workstation at the hub, our advanced analogue and digital outboard gear and selected plug-ins process audio in a neutral monitoring environment, the key to a polished and musical presentation which will sit comfortably alongside other commercially released material.
