Ian Beabout
Music producer, mixing and mastering engineer, and YouTuber currently residing in Steubenville, OH. I'm probably best known for my archival audio work for the Cuneiform record label with bands like The Soft Machine and The Muffins, but also as the producer for up-and-coming Chicago arena-proggers Refestramus. Somehow, I've managed to make a career for myself straddling the lines of the avant-garde and progressive pop, while also producing my own project, Colouratura. Other mixing and mastering credits to my name include Moon X, Cloud Over Jupiter, Roger Clark Miller, and Murky Red.
For this channel, I'll be talking about new and upcoming reissues from classic progressive and rock bands with an emphasis on sound quality. This includes SACDs, blu ray audio, and multichannel mixes.
