MIXING AND MASTERING
DSD meticulously captures the essence of the original event. By leveraging the unparalleled nuances of analogue mixing equipment, we enrich every subtle detail of the recording, creating a seamless blend of technical excellence and emotional resonance. By applying delicate tweaks during mastering, we honour the integrity of the original recording, allowing its essence to shine through with clarity and authenticity. Our mastering process extends into the analogue domain, utilizing state-of-the-art devices that bring warmth, depth, and precision to the sound.
This approach ensures that the listener experiences the most authentic representation of the original event, preserving its magic and emotional depth while elevating it to its fullest potential. In essence, mastering becomes a gentle yet powerful process of refinement, guiding the listener on a journey that respects the purity of the initial recording while enhancing its impact and resonance through the artistry of both digital and analogue domains.
