What software and hardware are you using for the mastering?

Yea what hardware. £15 is way cheap.

Any stuff you've mastered you can put links up to.

Hi, full details are on the website, thanks.

I guess my "flagship" gear is my Benchmark DAC1 Convertor:

Hi Richard, I don't do any hardware processing, hence my overheads are low and my charging price is low.

I endevour to expand into outboard in the next year and am looking at buying this bad boy to do so:

I believe it's not worth processing analogue unless your DA-AD convertors are incredible, as you're only going to loose depth of field and introudce jitter.

The plug-ins I do use are of esteemed quality and I have been using daily for a year or so.. so hopefully I am pretty hot on them!


I dont believe in "before and after snippits".. anyone can fake them.. send me a tune, and I will do a full master for free, I'd rather sell the service on truth if thats ok by you!

Hope this answers your questions!

I wouldn't go that far, but obviously you want the best quality AD/DA you can afford. Also, check out the Lavry Gold Series (more expensive).

Believe me I've checked em out, I was tempted to get a Lavry black but I got a great deal on the Benchmark.

But like I say, let's let your ears do the decieding, I have seen a lot of "bedroom mastering" houses come and go and I think I can offer a superior service at a similar price if you're interested

thanks

Yep, I'm picking up a Lavry BLack DA10 myself later this year.

Yeah, I heard soundwise they are just a little bit better than the Benchmark DAC1, which I adore!

But the interface is slightly more annoying I think, up and down buttons = yuck!

Have you ever used Cranesong stuff? now there is some well designed shit!

Yeah, I'll have mine going through a passive volume attenuator, so I'm not to concerned about it.

Yeah, I hear a lot of good things about them, but too rich for my blood.

Im saving up for the HEDD because I think it's exactly what I need, and the reviews / MEs I have spoken to about it say it's some of the best conversion they have heard, the exciters are just a very very nice cherry on the cake!

what Monitor Control you using with the Black? I havn't found one I've been pleased with, noise or distortion wise

I'm using a Presonus Central Station. Its a fairly inexpensive passive attenuation controller. Its passive and very clean. Several of the people I know who produce have the same units with no complaints. If I had the money, I'd probably upgrade to a Dangerous Music Monitor ST, but at $1,800, there are other things that are more important.
