Linear Sound is the Backbone for any Good Mastering Studio. It’s essential to listen to your production ‘as it is’ in an acoustic environment that does not alternate the sound that comes from the speakers. In other words, the dimensions and the symmetry of any room have a crucial influence on what you hear. That’s why this studio is designed from the scratch by the renowned company ‘Berlin Acoustics’, starting with the floorplan itself. The concept includes a special sound-absorbing ceiling, a precise placement of the walls, as well as custom-made absorber and diffuser modules. This acoustic design is a modern take on the popular LEDE model (Live End Dead End) that was optimized to meet the spacious conditions of the mastering studio and its individual requirements.
The monitors create the actual, audible sound, so they are extremely crucial for the mastering process. This studio is equipped with a set of ATC SCM50ASL Pro speakers, well-known for their unparalleled brilliance in the mids. Their flawless translation made them an industry standard for professionals: If it sounds great on these monitors, it sounds great on any other system, as well.
The Mastering Chain combines the organic warmth of analogue studio equipment with the brilliant perfection of digital sound processing. To merge these two worlds into one smooth listening experience, he relies on a state-of-the-art Mytek converter that enables him to capture the unique sound of analogue machines like Bettermaker, Schwerkraftmaschiene and Creamliner. On the digital side of things he is using an extensive UAD plugin collection and a wide range of plugins from a variety of renowned companies.
