Maarten De Boer

Dutch sound engineer, born in 1950. He started as a recording engineer but became a dedicated disc mastering engineer, setting up his own company Holland Cutting in 1982 (the name was changed to The Masters in 1988 and lasted until 31 December 2012). For cuts during his time at Holland Cutting (1982 - 1987) and after 1988 in The Masters, De Boer used HCB as a trademark for his cutting work.
