Hearing Is Believing
Your mastering session at Future Disc begins as we listen to your recordings in my precisely tuned studio. Together we decide on what will be the best approach to achieve the sound you want and to give your music that extra competitive edge. Our well-equipped studio will give us total flexibility; we can use an entirely digital processing chain, choose from a wide array of analog options or any combination of both. The signal path that's used is simple, direct and clean. Whatever the project calls for is available here at Future Disc. Whether it’s running digital at 24 - 48 bits and 88.2-96 kHz, or through class A analog consoles, your audio is processed in the most exacting way through hand wired equipment using the finest wire and connectors available.
The session continues as we custom design the processing chain that’s ideal for your project and then "run down" the music in real time. We adjust fades, song sequence, and pause gaps to assemble the project into its final form. When the work is completed, we make reference copies for listening and finally the production master. The finished masters can be encoded with ISRC numbers, CD text and will include PQ sheets and Clover error check logs for use by your duplication house.
As a Future Disc client, you are welcome to be present in the studio for all aspects of the mastering process. We also do unattended sessions on a regular basis for clients from all over the world.
We have the facilities to work from virtually any digital or analog format.
Your source audio files can also be uploaded and downloaded via the internet, and we can send out a sample of the mastering session by internet so that, even if you can’t be here physically, you can hear how the session is going.
If you have a question about formats, the mastering process, or the industry in general, please feel free to give me a call or send me an email.
