Mastering
We can master audio from most formats found today:
• DAT
• DCC (Digital Compact Cassette )
• CD
• DVD
• VTR
• VCR
• 1/4" reel-to-reel tape
• Cassette
• ...and even old vinyl records!
Warmer, Fatter, Radio Ready
If you want your music to really have that finished sheen and professional edge, then mastering is the final process in the chain to acheive this goal. There are different possible ways of getting there, but here at Rocksure Soundz we like to use great analog gear in the signal flow before creating the final digital master. As an example, we can take your DAT, compact disc or other digital media, transfer the audio to 1/4 inch analog tape, via nice warm D/A converters, record it to tape, and then transfer it back to a computer via warm tubes in a valve compressor and A/D converter. The final mastering tools are then applied within the computer to get a great-sounding end product. Won't the tape produce added hiss you may ask ? Well modern tape adds very little if any noise to a recording, and if there is any hiss generated we have the tools to remove it. But, you will certainly notice a big improvement in the warmth and fatness of your song's finshed sound by using this process. We have the equipment to transfer audio/video from all of the media types mentioned above, to within a controlled computer environment for mastering and create final masters onto a media of the customers choice.
The most common being Redbook specs CD for music or VTR for film.
