John Cuniberti's career began as a musician in various rock bands
in the 1970's. To supplement his income John joined a touring sound
reinforcement company in 1976. He worked his way up to the position
of mixing on stage monitors for Stevie Wonder. In the early 80's
John was managing Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco by day and
recording the Dead Kennedys and many other alternative bands by
night. In the 90's, John received both platinum and gold records
for producing and engineering six Joe Satriani records. In 2000
John became the first mastering engineer at the world famous Plant
Recording Studios in Sausalito. To date John has mastered over 1000
CDs for both major and independent labels while still continuing
to engineer albums with Satriani, Train and The Funky Meters. John
is also the designer of the very popular Reamp® interface box
that is used daily by major recording artist in studios all over
the world.
"My background in both live and studio engineering has given me
great depth in understanding the mastering process. As a studio
engineer, I made it a priority to attend mastering sessions for
every record that I had been a part of. As a result, I know what
it is like for one of my clients to hand over their project to me
for mastering. I work very closely with my clients until they are
satisfied with the sound of their CD. I then check and double check
all the technical aspects of the master before sending it off for
reproduction."
