Anna Frick
Mastering & Restoration Engineer
Anna Frick’s career has its roots in a chance experience behind a mixing desk while she was still in high school. It was that “lightbulb moment” that led to formal studies at the University of Colorado-Denver. A wealth of professional experience followed, leading her to find a passion in mastering and restoration. She honed her craft at Airshow Mastering and after twelve years opened her own studio in Boulder, Colorado, Ally Sound. She has mastered albums for Billy Strings, GRAMMY-nominees Wood & Wire, Justin Moses, John Denver, Roland Guerin, Ben Sollee, Big Richard, LVDY, and Third Man Records’ GRAMMY-winning The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records boxed set, on which she did mastering and restoration work. She has restored historic audio for the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the Clyfford Still Museum, Louisiana State University, Colorado State University, and the University of Calgary. Anna is also deeply involved in music industry leadership, advocacy and mentorship through her work with The Recording Academy (serving on the National Board of Trustees until 2025), the Audio Engineering Society (AES) (serving as the Colorado Section Vice Chair), SoundGirls.org (co-founder of the Colorado Chapter), and the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) (serving as Chair of the Board of Directors). She also teaches Recording Arts at the University of Colorado-Denver. Outside of the studio, Anna is an active member of Colorado’s vibrant acoustic music scene, supporting bands and artists at all levels at concerts and festivals up and down the Front Range.
