With an audio background of 35 years and 26 years of mastering professionally, Adam Dempsey brings a wealth of experience to Deluxe Mastering in Melbourne’s arts hub of Brunswick.
Initially mastering for cassette tapes at Australia’s first independent mastering facility in 1995, then promoted to CD mastering, Adam joined Deluxe Mastering in 2006. He brings a background in all music genres including Gold-certified, ARIA Award, Bell Award, and The Age Music Victoria Award-winning and nominated releases.
Adam’s interest in music and audio began with a 1/4” reel to reel tape recorder, soon progressing to cassette tape editing on a twin-deck cassette recorder with a graphic equaliser and wearing out its motors. In 1986, in addition to studying trombone, Adam delved into community radio as an announcer and trainer with what is now Yarra Valley FM. This led to mobile disco DJing, 8-track recording, RMIT student radio (now SYN), a stint in film sound as second boom operator, audio engineering studies at Melbourne’s famed Sing Sing and Metropolis studios, live sound mixing, and as a drummer for 14 years in several bands across Melbourne.
