Studio

Best of both worlds

Even though it is becoming more and more common place to use plug-ins when producing music, we are still committed to using high-end external hardware components. This way we can produce sound exactly according to our vision and retain maximum control over the mastering process.

We prefer a combination of digital- and analog technology. Our 64 bit digital-processors allow a very ambitious sounddesign and all kinds of editing.

The established analog technique with tube amplifiers creates a warm and harmonious sound, which is still unmatched in the digital world. With super bit mapping we convert the signal from analog back into digital. This A-D method is low-noise and very musical.

M-S Mastering

The same way you can split a stereo signal into a left and right signal, you can split it into a middle and side signal. The middle signal is the sum of left and right. The side signal is the difference of left and right.

When we split the signal this way we have other possibilities to edit when mastering. We can edit simular instruments in the stereo panorama, and it is possible to edit the middle signal and side separately. This method doesn't make sense if the original is almost mono because the sidesignal will be too low to edit.
