Masteringstudios existieren wie Sand am Meer, aber ...
Was nützt Einfühlungsvermögen, Dumpingpreise und die massenhafte Verkettung minderwertiger Geräte + Software...?
Tatsache ist:
Jedes beteiligte Gerät als auch jegliche Software in der Bearbeitungskette verschlechtert den Klang von Audioereignissen u. a. durch minderwertige Bauteile, Steckverbindungen, Erdung sowie Verkabelung und Einstreuungen in die Stromversorgung!Tatsache ist weiterhin:
direct-wire-mastering
No plugs, no plugins - pure analog sound!
Bitte benutzen Sie keinen Limiter, Kompressor, Multibandkompressor, Inflator, Finalizer, Clipper, Exciter, Bandsättigungsimulator, Stereobasisverbreiterer, Master-EQ oder ähnliches auf der Summe.
Die Mischungen sollten einen soliden Pegel haben, aber niemals 0 dBFS erreichen.
Wählen Sie die Sampling Rate, in der Ihr Aufnahmeprojekt läuft. D.h. falls Ihr Projekt in 48 kHz angelegt ist, exportieren/mischen Sie bitte in 48 kHz 24 Bit am besten direkt auf einen schnellen USB-Stick ( Am besten die USB-Buchse hinten benutzen, die DIREKT auf das Motherboard aufgelötet ist ).
Mastering studios exist like sand at the sea but ...
What benefit has empathy, dumping prices and the massive concatenation of inferior equipment + software ...?
Fact is:
Any involved device as well as any
software in the processing
chain degrades the sound of
audio events inter alia by
inferior components,
connectors, grounding and
wiring as well as electromagnetic
interference in the power
supply!
The art of efficient
use is to keep the number of involved
devices small and
uncompromising optimization of each
device as
well as the entire studio
incl. Power supply and
grounding for lossless
application.
no plugs, no plugins - pure
analog sound!
But we go one step further and provide through consistent modifications that during the performance the losses of quality for analog as for digital processing will be minimized!
The signal path of all by listening tests selected devices, as well as the complete power supply is directly soldered and optimized for lossless efficiency.
Through consistent avoidance of any plug-in connections, patchbays, software plugins as well as the use of outsourced hardware for mixing and mastering, are programming errors, macros, unnecessary dll´s and the resulting adverse influence of the data stream no longer an issue.
20 years of experience as a sound engineer, tech, producer and musician form an important base for creative competence, because it is our goal to let sound every track as good as possible.
Specific
editing with the best devices gets the full potential of the mix. Whether it
misses transparency, punch, warmth cohesion, magnitude or depth.
Music gets a new dimension through direct-wire-mastering!
“…and the result was stupefying. The gain of expression and vitality was not subtle but clear. 3 things are stepping out: The bass was more solid and defined, the trebles were more precise, unobtrusive and it was a dramatic improvement of the panoramas.”
The
introductory price for mastering 1 track ( up to 6 minutes length ) is only 99,-EUR VAT included.
A free demo master can be requested at info@direct-wire-mastering.com
Send the wave-file ( BWF -.wav with 24 Bit works best ) via “WeTransfer” ( https://www.wetransfer.com/ ) at the above named mail-address and you will get a cutted master back within a few days.
After the payment is done you will get the full length track as a Wave-file in 44,1 kHz 16 Bit; if desired also in ISRC-encoding, CD-Text, Enhanced CD, BWF-wave or tested DDP-Master or Mitsubishi CD-R Premaster for an extra-charge.
( Important material should be send as 1. generation thru an USB-Stick and will be directly edited, so there are 4 copies less! Analog stem mastering and mixing is possible under very best conditions furthermore! )
Helpful information, offers and insider-advice are also available via e-mail & phone…
Please do not use limiters, compressors, multiband compressors, inflators, finalizer, clipper, exciter, magnetic tape simulation, stereo spread effect, master-EQ or something similar at the sum.
The mixing should have a solid level, but never reach 0dBFS.
Choose the sample rate in keeping with your project. In case it is running in 48 kHz, please export/mix in 48 kHz 24Bit directly to a fast USB-stick ( Best to use the USB jack on the rear, which is soldered to the motherboard DIRECTLY ).
A typical example for the above named modifications of an EQ shown in the picture: The replacement of 2 low-quality, 20 poled connectors for silvered copper conductors which are directly soldered, bridge over the bypass switch and direct soldering the input's/output's using mundorf silver-gold-solder.
