A highly efficient mixing and mastering workflow based around high-end digital processing like some of the newer leading engineers means seriously low overheads compared to equivalent legacy analogue studios, where lower level clients may get trainees. That means really affordable prices for unsigned or self-releasing artists and small labels and everything you’d expect from a top named mix/mastering engineer.
All master formats are batch rendered with full 64bit precision in the latest Wavelab Pro. With a breadth of experience and painstaking attention to sound detail judged against some of the best sounding records ever made, on legendary cans, studio speakers , reference grade full-range mastering monitors and class leading A/D D/A converters.
You’ll benefit from flexible priority and an experienced pair of ears that knows your sound. It’s rightly what top artists and labels expect.
Just one great sounding master for all platforms – Spotify, Tidal, Radio, Club etc etc. Otherwise there’s inevitable confusion as to which format goes on which service. Though your vinyl renders may well be tweaked to get the best from the cutting process. BTW, usually your digital distributor just needs the 24 bit Apple Digital Certified wavs.
It’s your mixing & mastering engineer’s job to make sure that master sounds as good as possible … everywhere.

per track
Stem Mastering
Stem mastering is adding mastering on the stereo buss, but with access to the tracks in the mix to address key issues at source like vocals, bass etc. It’s a lot faster workflow than a full mix but more complex than a straight master of a finished mix, You’ll just need to send over rendered 24 or 32 bit stems per track – preferably wet and dry sets if you use inline reverb. Export them so they line up from zero.
