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, 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, companies and institutions both in the UK and abroad: customer service and fair pricing  are our business foundations, and we're proud of our high level of repeat bookings and referrals.

With two SADiE 5 digital audio workstations 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.
