Our stereo mastering chain combines a carefully selected analog signal path with state-of-the-art digital processing, optimized for the clarity, depth and punch your music deserves. Every master is tailored to the artist’s vision — whether that means maximum loudness or maximum dynamics.

We deliver for every format: CD-ready 16-bit/44.1kHz, streaming-optimized files calibrated to platform loudness targets, and hi-resolution PCM up to 32-bit/192kHz. Remote mastering sessions are available for clients working at a distance.

  • Full analog & digital signal path
  • CD, streaming and hi-resolution delivery
  • Apple Digital Masters certified workflow
  • Remote mastering available
  • Reference revision included

Our Dolby Atmos suite is purpose-built for immersive mastering, with a 7.1.4 monitoring system calibrated to Dolby specification. We master both bed-and-object Atmos sessions and binaural renders for headphone delivery — the format now required by Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon Music HD.

Whether your mixer has delivered a full ADM file or stems for us to assemble, we ensure your Atmos master translates perfectly from high-end speaker systems down to AirPods.

  • Dolby Atmos certified monitoring room
  • 7.1.4 speaker bed + object mastering
  • Binaural render for headphone delivery
  • Apple Music, Tidal & Amazon HD delivery
  • ADM / IMF package export
  • Stems assembly available

Vinyl mastering is a craft that demands deep knowledge of the medium’s physical constraints. Our cutting room houses the Neumann VMS 70 lathe, one of the most respected disc-cutting systems in the world, operated by engineers with years of dedicated cutting experience across every genre.

We handle everything from the initial mastering optimization — RIAA equalization, groove geometry, side length management — to the final lacquer cut ready for plating.

  • Neumann VMS 70 cutting lathe
  • RIAA curve & groove geometry optimization
  • Side length & level management
  • 7″, 10″ and 12″ formats
