Our mastering studio in Hackney, East London supports all formats of audio mastering. We
specialise in analogue processing, particularly mastering for vinyl, but also have years of
experience in mastering for digital output. We run a combination of analogue and digital
hardware in our mastering studio. The studio revolves around our vintage Neumann VMS 70
vinyl cutting lathe.

The Studio

The music mastering studio is very different from a normal audio recording studio. In fact, all the
equipment and gear found in most recording and mixing studios can actually hinder the acoustics of
a room to accurately monitor sound. Thus, the correct room acoustics and arrangement of the equipment
inside a mastering studio is an important factor since the mastering engineer (ME) needs to hear in detail
each mix. This room design should be non-environmental or with a minimum room interference. By working
with an experienced mastering engineer, the recording artist is also open to more creative opinions and
technical advice.
