Gateway Mastering Studios, located in Portland, Maine, has been a cornerstone for music mastery for 30 years, founded by Bob Ludwig. As the studio transitions, Ludwig will cease taking new mastering work but remains dedicated to concluding ongoing projects with the help of his talented team, Brian Lee and Bob Jackson. Brian Lee, the first employee at Gateway and an industry veteran with over 32 years of experience, alongside Bob Jackson, who has served as Ludwig's assistant for 20 years, will be establishing their own venture, Waygate Mastering. Both are grateful for the guidance and support received from Ludwig and Gail throughout their exemplary careers in the music community. Generated from the website
