Dave McNair Mastering
Based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Dave McNair Mastering is a high‑end, boutique mastering and lacquer‑cutting studio run by veteran engineer Dave McNair, whose career spans decades of major‑label, indie, and audiophile releases. His current focus is increasingly vinyl‑centric, with lacquer cutting described as a “true passion” and a growing part of his day‑to‑day work. The lathe is a Neumann VMS-70 with an SX-74 cutter head.
