At the Mastering Lab, Galindo worked on titles by Pink Floyd, Barbra Streisand, Diana Krall, and Paul McCartney. [6] [7]

Boulanger and Galindo moved to Los Angeles where Boulanger founded the Bakery, a mastering facility based on the Sony Pictures lot. [8] The Bakery is known for vinyl cutting, and has worked on albums by The Carpenters, Green Day, and the soundtrack to La La Land . [2]
