Not Sure About Your Mix?

We'll Take a Listen First

We work with a lot of first timers and less experienced engineers and we know how daunting the process can be. We also know how frustrating it can be when a master brings out something unexpected in your mix. So if you're a little unsure about your mix, get in touch and we'll take a listen, or take a look at the options below.

Our Process

A Mix of Analog and Digital Processing

Why Analogue?

It just sounds great. It's like adding thick velvety chocolate sauce on top of the cake you've made. Our main studio equipment:

  • A matched stereo pair of API 550b EQs (think airy highs and pumping lows)
  • SSL 500 Series Bus Compressor (think smoothing over each track like making shapes in mash potato)
  • UAD Preamps (think adding that "je ne sais quoi")
  • UAD Analogue Modelling: we run everything through the Studer A800 tape machine for those expensive-sounding harmonics

What Digital?

We work within Logic X, using the latest in analogue modelling from Universal Audio, supplemented by digital processing modules from Sound Toys, iZotope, Waves and many more. This provides precision audio mixing tools to make the master pop!
