In 1994, Louie became an independent engineer and expanded his client base in the rock and pop world.  Louie was now overseeing album projects from start to finish.  After the mixing was completed, Louie would attend the mastering session where he was fascinated by the process.  This led to Louie’s decision to develop a career in mastering.
