ABOUT
A musical ear.
A technical approach.
I'm Seán Mac Erlaine, a mastering engineer and musician in Dublin working with artists, producers and labels internationally. Mastering is where I bring the best of my knowledge and experience to your music.
Over a 25+ year career as an instrumentalist, I've developed a deep relationship with the minutiae of music, frequency, noise and sound. That musical understanding sits alongside a longstanding passion for analogue equipment, programming and sonic excellence.
I help your music reach its finished state — confident, consistent and ready for the world.

MUSICIAN & COMPOSER
The music
behind the ears.
My work as a musician isn't separate from mastering. It informs how I listen.
Explore my music ↗For more than 25 years, I've worked as an instrumentalist, composer and collaborator across folk, free improvisation, jazz, traditional and experimental music. International touring, recording and performance continue to shape my relationship with sound.
That experience brings a musician's perspective into the mastering room: attention to nuance, intention, dynamics, space and the emotional drive of a performance.
TESTIMONIALS
“Seán is one of the best mastering engineers in Ireland. He was both patient and very skilled in his approach to getting the best out of my mixes. I couldn’t ask for better.”
