We collaborate with Threshold Sound+Vision in Santa Monica by hosting their world-class analog mastering room in our facility. Mastering engineer Gil Tamazyan will make your final mix sound its best for vinyl, CD or digital release through our custom modified analog equalizer and compression chain, followed by the best in hardware digital processing and precision monitoring.
Our analog compressors and equalizers add a unique character to your music. Discrete analog circuitry provides a warmth, punch and softness unmatched by any software plug-in, especially when mastering to louder levels.
If you want your music to sound like professional releases, analog mastering is the only way to go, it just sounds better. Our samples say it all, even with the mp3 compression used on this site.

Use our DROPBOX to send us your files.
Masters should be delivered as:
- AIFF, WAV, or SDII files
- 24 or 16 Bit
- 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, or 192kHz
- Analog Tape: 1/4" or 1/2"
The Stereo Audio files should be exported or bounced with no Compression/ Limiters/ Normalizers/ EQ/ Maximizers on the Master Buss. Reference copies delivered from the engineer to you for listening purposes can have these processors to monitor with but pre master files delivered to a mastering facility should not. Double check with your mix engineer. Also, a little headroom should be available with no clips or overs. If files are not delivered as requested, we cannot ensure optimum results.
We also offer vinyl mastering and master disc cutting services.
