Will I need to get the end result mastered?
Not usually - we have mastering facilities here & in most cases the client prefers to have the mixdown to master - which means they take away a finished CD that sounds like other commercially released material ( i.e. loud & punchy for rock & pop projects & transparent & natural for more acoustic based material ).
Alternatively the master CD can be remastered here or elsewhere - some of the high end mastering houses can bring a new perspective to a mix by useing their experience and esoteric outboard processors.

Do you provide CD duplication services?
Sorry no - at the end of the project you will usually take away a *master CD* (and/or DAT master) plus a few copies for the band members etc. The *master CD* will be ready for mass duplication but we leave it to other - third party duplicators (of the clients choice) - to do larger runs.

Digital or analogue - which medium is best for us?
Both mediums have their place but it is down to the particular project as to which medium is preferable. Many projects use a hybrid of both mediums to achieve the best results & most efficient usage of time.
