Joachim Hinsch

German lacquer cutting and mastering engineer. Not to be confused with the similar hand-etched stylized 'H1' (ℋ1) of Peter Harenberg. Started his career 1984 at Peter Harenberg's Ham Audio and worked there until 1986. Operates Joachim Hinsch Audio Mastering since 1986 (however, being self-employed, he also does jobs in other studios). Uses a Neumann VMS 70 cutting machine. His cuts can be identified by a handwritten "Hi" or a hand-etched stylized 'Hi' (ℋ𝒾 - to be entered as 'Hi') in the runouts.
