== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Mew has had a prolific career at the Abbey Road Studios, home base of groups like [[The Beatles]], [[Pink Floyd]], and recording engineers such as [[Alan Parsons]]. He was involved on the historic [[Syd Barrett]] solo recordings, and remastered his compilation albums.<br />
<br />
He started his career at Abbey Road as a tea boy, then tape-op, and finally as a recording engineer, on [[Pretty Things]]' ''[[S.F. Sorrow]]'', in 1967. He was responsible for not deadening the studio, keeping its multidimensional sound, thereby allowing the installations to be used for orchestral sessions, and giving the studio its trademark sound.<ref name="Jackson" /><br />
<br />
During the early 1980s he pioneered the CD preparation installation in the studio, while working on several outstanding projects.<br />
<br />
As the senior mastering engineer, he mastered records in stereo and surround, on [[Compact disc|CD]], [[DVD]], and [[Super Audio CD|SACD]]. Working with the [[Sonic Solutions]] suite, he has restored albums by a considerable number of artists (basically most of those who have used the Abbey Road facilities at one point or another).<ref name="bio" /><br />
<br />
On 29 August 2013, Mew retired after a 50-year career.<ref name="ProSoundNetwork Editorial Staff">{{cite news|url=http://www.prosoundnetwork.com/business/abbey-roads-mew-retires/41942|title=Abbey Road's Mew Retires|date=2013-09-10|work=ProSoundNetwork|publisher=[[NewBay Media]]|accessdate=2016-11-28}}</ref><br />
