Randy LeRoy

Final Stage's chief engineer, Randy LeRoy, began his journey with music in high school as a musician. While playing acoustic and electric guitar in club bands through school, his working knowledge of audio principles was accented by his education at Middle Tennessee State University. As part of the "Recording Industry Management" program, LeRoy launched into studio production . After college, Randy was soon hired by CBS Records, Nashville, as an A&R Coordinator. While learning the different areas of LP production, Randy soon found himself working as an engineer and production assistant on a variety of CBS projects. In 1988 a prominent mastering studio lured him into a full time position as an engineer. At Masterfonics, Randy became Glenn Meadows assistant where he soon became an important part of their mastering process. At a time when digital audio was just beginning it's early development, Randy became fluent in both analog and digital mastering techniques. In 1991 LeRoy left Masterfonics and started Final Stage Mastering. Since then he has mastered thousands of LPs for both major and independent labels. "I'm one of the fortunate people whose hobby became their career", states LeRoy. "Everyday I come to work I thank my clients who continue to support Final Stage."
