Mastering is the very last step in your creative process, before releasing your music to the world. As such, it should be approached with great care and attention, using the right equipment in the correct listening environment. This allows us to make accurate, informed decisions on the right way to bring the best out of your recordings.
Most of our processing, like EQ'ing and compression, is done in the analog domain, using the best conversion available to ensure no degradation occurs to your audio. Our digital processors then handle the filtering, de-essing, M/S encode/decode and limiting etc. This gives us the best of both worlds and lots of options! The subject of excessive loudness in mastering is still red hot, but we feel that we have reached a turning point now, where artists, A&R, producers and engineers all agree that, yes it's okay to be loud, but not at the expense of the music. However, if it's off the scale level you want, we can do that and we try to minimise casualties along the way!
