MIXING
One of the most crucial aspects of the mixing process for us is the importance of bringing out the unique character of your music. It becomes increasingly easy to channel bands and artists through the same templates to achieve an instantly “good” sound without giving much attention to the qualities which make the artist uniquely themselves.
Combining over 2 decades of genre spanning mixing experience, we strive to work closely with you to find your sound and your style.
10% off mixing for EPs (3-6 tracks)
15% off mixing for LPs (7-15 tracks)
Please refer to our gear list for more information.

MASTERING
Mastering is sometimes seen as a bit of a dark art that only those with esoteric powers can accomplish. Although we don’t have such powers, what we do possess is over 5 years worth of mastering experience, with a keen, unbiased ear and a stubborn attention to detail.
Your tracks will be rendered through high quality hardware and software, completely tailored to your requirements, whether you favour loudness, clarity, warmth, dynamics - or a combination of all!
