~ Audio Mastering AudioIntegrity uses MAGIX SEQUOIA & WaveLabs DAW's (Digital Audio Workstations). All systems utilize Lynx AES-2 sound cards. We offer true 16, 24 and 32-bit support, all up to 192KHz sample rates. Final projects are delivered as Red Book Pre-master CD's (PMCD's) or via the internet as a DDP Project. Masters can also be burned with CD-Text, UPC and ISRC codes (this information is burned onto the master and is part of the final pq code printout, which goes to the manufacturer). Our goal is to make the audio mastering process as easy and seamless as possible, from delivery of the mixes to mastering to approval and delivery of the final masters. Gear List:
Our process... First, you deliver your files via our File Management Service (we will provide a link to your private upload page) or by mail. We request that your mixes be in the .wav or .aiff format - at the resolution your recorded it (don't dither or sample rate convert). We can also accept regular cd's, dvd's, dat's and Masterlink Discs. Make sure you leave some headroom to work with - at least 3dB max peak below zero. Let the mastering process take care of final volume and loudness. Once we have your mixes we will start the mastering process. This starts by applying final equalization to your project to help balance frequencies and enhance the over all sound. We do this by listening first. Then with experienced ears and our Millenia NSEQ-2 Analog Mastering EQ, we shape the frequencies that bring your project to life. AudioIntegrity also uses high end AudioCube Cube-tec software plugins for extreme filtering and other eq related tasks. Next, through creative compression and limiting we bring your project up to "radio" CD standards. In this stage of the mastering process we normalize and balance volume levels by applying compression and limiting to create a consistent and dynamic flow from beginning to end (amounts used are determined by the program material and ultimately what sounds good to the ear). With our Weiss DS-1 MKIII Digital Mastering Compressor/Limiter/Deesser, Maselec MLA-3 Multi-band Analog Compressor or Millenia TCL-2 Twin Topology Analog Mastering Compressor and the WAVES MAX BCL bass enhancer/compressor/limiter, we can offer an array of tonal texture in the analog AND digital domain. For projects that require or choose a analog/digital approach, all Digital to Analog and Analog to Digital conversions are done using the Lavry Engineering DA-11 and PRISM Dream AD-2 converters. This insures that we have the cleanest and most accurate conversion which preserves the integrity of the original recording. For the final stage of the mastering process, after all songs have been mastered, we then edit and sequence each song to your chosen song order. Spacing between songs is done by "feel" rather than set spacing ( 2 sec. or 3 sec.). How the album flows from song to song is also an important factor in the quality of the final project. After test .wav files have been uploaded or a test CD copy has been delivered and approved, we then create the final PMCD or DDP 2.0 masters and deliver them to you or your chosen duplicator.
