Kurt Maire

Kurt Maire — Owner

I’ve been recording, producing, and mixing music for over 20 years, and have spent the last several years mastering. I recently started 530 Audio because I love creating great indie rock music, and I want to help make your songs sound like your favorite records.

Why 530 Audio?

I’ll work closely with you and take the time your track deserves to get it right, paying close attention to every detail until your song sounds its best. Along with my experience mixing and mastering, I’ve been playing guitar, singing, and writing music since I was a teen in the 1990s, and that experience gives me an ear for making your mix convey the emotion your song deserves.

I’ll get your guitars and vocals sounding like your favorite indie artists while keeping your own sound and identity intact. I’ll make as many revisions as necessary to make sure you are 100% satisfied and stoked with the results.

Masters will leave here loud, polished, and ready to fit right in on the major streaming services, and translate wherever you listen.
