About our gear
The engineer's ear and decision making ability are without a doubt the most important pieces of gear used in the mastering process. Our emphasis is not only on the facilities gear, although gear is important, but it is secondary, our ear is number one along with experience.
Pro Tools is a fine sequencing and mixing program, but Pro Tools cannot do CD authoring.
We have listed very short list of some of our basic plugins however our bread and butter components are not listed, that was intentional, that gives us an edge over our competitors, we put together a special mix of software and the best sound for you, both vintage and virtual, our gear is maintained on a regular basis to insure the best performance our studios are fully automated with the best. We employ brand names and custom.
Our computer /PC’s are custom built our sound card is M-Audio, our computers were built for music and are powerful, Sony, IK Multimedia, and a host of plugins assist us in arriving at our ultimate goal, that is to satisfy you.
Whether a mastering engineer uses vintage gear, or well known manufactured products, mastering can only be successful if the gear being used is guided by experience and engineering ability. It's the engineer not the gear that brings you the sound you love to hear try us.
