ADD THE ALL IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL SHEEN TO YOUR RECORDINGS

 

We're pleased to announce the arrival of our new mastering facilities featuring a purpose build acoustically treated room complete with the very best Classic Kef 104 studio reference monitors in addition to harmonic balancing, Calrec EQ units, linear digital EQ systems and mastering software.

 

We can master any song supplied to us so that it's ready for either CD or vinyl release. You do not have to have recorded with us to use our mastering facilities, we will master any recording done at any studio and improve it's quality!

 

Mastering is a process often overlooked by many bands. In a nutshell, its the process which gives the finished recordings extra punch, presence, sheen, stereo width and finally overall loudness to compete with other commercial releases. It's akin to sprinkling angel dust on your creation to enhance it's natural beauty!

 

The processing that we do makes sure that the completed track will sound great across all platforms, whether on an ipod, in the car, in the club, radio or home HIFI and help to stand it head and shoulders above the rest.

 

We listen to the songs through a variety of speakers, including our renowned Kef 104/2 reference models to ensure the integrity of the production at every frequency. We therefore make sure the finished article is polished and represents the artist's intentions. If required (and possible), we may re-visit the mix in order to fix any issues that are identified; this is easily done if we're supplied with the mix information.

 

We can supply masters in Red Book CD Standard (All CD text, PQ coding, IRSC coding), including track pre/post indexing, fades and track levelling performed. Alternatively, we can supply a completed digital master in any format that you prefer.
