Mixing
The mixing room is a spacious and appropriately tuned (acoustically) designed space to create the most detailed and musical mix. Central to the room is the Sony DMX R-100 digital mixer with MADI system interface communicating all track info, and the primary DAW system is Nuendo. (Nudendo a choice for its file friendly support to other DAWs and for it’s sonic superiority.)
Monitoring is done through a Crane Song Avocet to K&H 0300d speakers. ATC-50 asl speakers are available for further mix evaluation.

mastering
Mastering is the final step in preparation for a release of a professional product. Mastering tends to the details of level adjustment and imparts a size and dimension to the music. EQ, compression, and other tonal and gain staging techniques bring the final mix to levels comparative to commercial expectations.
Experienced “ears” with musical sensibility are combined with an acoustic environment, high end audiophile monitoring, and specialized equipment to insure the best results.
