I’m delighted to share that I’ve won Mastering Engineer of the Year 2026. 🏆 🌟
Beyond what I said in my awards speech, I want to thank everyone who voted for me in the longlist stage, as well as the judges. This has completely changed my life, and at certain points in my career it felt impossible.
I also want to thank everyone who showed me small acts of kindness and encouragement, from when I was a runner until now. The sum of those moments became the fuel that kept me going in my early years.
To all the artists I’ve worked with, thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be part of your journey. It’s a privilege, and it brings a huge amount of meaning and happiness to my life.
I’ve always based my mastering career on listening to people as much as their music. My motivation is to make sure the person and their character are heard in the final master.
I see my role as someone who hears you, sees you, and helps you find your voice. What you have to say matters. You are valuable and important as a human being. Your perspective is unique. It’s a genuine pleasure to help you express that through music.
Sincerely, thank you.♥️♥️♥️

A few moments from our engineer Natalie Bibby’s (@compress_her) recent trip to the USA, representing AIR on both the West and East Coasts.
In San Francisco, Natalie joined a panel at Music Expo 2025 (@sfmusicconference) alongside Marcela Rada (@themarcelarada) and Matt Boudreau (@matt_boudreau) of Working Class Audio (@working_class_audio), exploring how an artist’s vision can be understood through the way a mix is presented.
The trip continued in Boston with a series of sessions at Berklee College of Music (@berkleecollege), including an event with We Are Moving The Needle (@wearemovingtheneedle), where Natalie walked through a full live mastering session from start to finish. Natalie is grateful to Rob Jaczko (@robjaczko), Chair of Berklee’s Audio Engineering Department, for the invitation.
To support the workshops and live mastering sessions, the AIR tech team built a portable mastering rig for Natalie, allowing her to run Sequoia and showcase some of her favourite plugins throughout the trip.
Special thanks to Allison Krause (@ajkrause) for meticulously testing and fine-tuning the rig for peak performance, affectionately known by Natalie as “The Arch Wizard of The Majestic Bastion (aka AIR).”

“It’s good to have people in the room with you, if you can, when mastering — you can read their energy and understand what they want...” — Natalie Bibby

Last weekend I ran a series of mastering workshops at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios (@realworldstudios)! What a beautiful place - it felt like a secret paradise, and I totally get why creatives would seek it out. I had a fun time dragonfly and butterfly spotting between classes. I even saw a real 1960s Fender Mustang in the wild!
The highlight of the weekend was chatting and hanging out with all the attendees. I loved hearing your stories, your backgrounds in music, and your general passion for all things arty. One thing I really noticed was how everyone had an eye and ear for nuance - it made for such insightful questions and conversations.
A huge thank you to AIR’s genius tech team for putting together a portable mastering rig for me - you’re all legends. Thanks also to Katie (@mateykay) and Xav at Real World for being so cool (and a bit wizard-like). And lastly, special thanks to Brendon Harding (@brendonjharding) for putting me forward for this - one of the truly good guys in the industry. ✌️

For a special edition of CUE BURN, we spoke with five mastering engineers from the renowned AIR Studios (all but the legendary Barry Grint, who continues work on special projects at AIR). The team at @airmastering spans several generations and a wide range of backgrounds: some started in the tape era, while others came to AIR straight from university or a pressing plant. We discussed their backgrounds, day-to-day work, connection to vinyl, and how evolving technology is shaping the future of mastering and vinyl.
Natalie Bibby is the 2026 recipient of the MPG’s ‘Mastering Engineer of the Year’ Award and is one of the youngest engineers ever to receive the honor. Natalie spoke about bringing empathy and understanding to her mastering process, and about the vinyl industry’s role in supporting emerging bands and artists. Before her time at AIR, Natalie began mastering at Metropolis where she gained hands-on experience with vinyl through live straight-to-vinyl sessions.

So cool to have @thecertsofficial in for the mastering of your latest tune! A refreshingly raw rock song with a killer chorus and anthemic feel. Hyped to see you play it live in December, and I’ll be the designated mosh pit starter! 🤘🏻😎 Fab mix by @matttaylor___ ⭐️🙏🏻 Rock IS coming back!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
