ANALOG MASTERING
Traditionally and for many years analog mastering equipment were the sole tools used by many studios to bring music to its optimum level and to produce songs ready for radios and vinyl printing. Nowadays the digital revolution has simplified the process of music-making. Recording studios and music producers have a wealth of resources available at their fingertips. Nevertheless, the results always seem to lack that professional mastering engineer’s touch.
Analog Mastering Studios
Studio software recording programs (DAW) like Avid Pro Tools, Apple Logic X, Steinberg Cubase, and other audio mastering software comes with so many built-in audio mastering plugins allowing music producers to compose, record, mix, and print music seamlessly. However, artists will continue to seek the type of quality mastering offered by high-end analog mastering studios for additional processing, polishing, editing, balancing, and other professional touches. If applied properly, these enhancements make a dramatic difference in the quality, impact, image, and competitiveness of the final release.
Acoustic treatment is the most crucial parts of mastering studios. Full range studio monitors in an accurate environment and the best analog mastering equipment operated by mastering engineer with significant experience and the “right set of ears,” is required to bring music to its optimum level.
Analog Mastering VS Digital
Not that every song has to be mastered with analogue equipment. We have digitally mastered so many songs that did not need the coloring and warmth that analog equalizers and compressors add to the signal passing through. On the other hand, many songs were enhanced by the sonic characteristics and sweetness that analog gear added to the track. Therefore, when you send us your song we will master it using all the tools available at our disposal, then if requested we can send you two versions to choose from. This way you will have the option to choose the version that you prefer the best.
