Next-generation plugins & AI tools — surgical precision where analog brings the musicality
This combination refines the details, optimizes dynamics and shapes your sound with musicality. All masters are built to translate perfectly on any playback system.
What I work from
Stereo mastering starts from your bounced mix — one WAV or AIFF file per track. For work on separated tracks with Neumann analog summing, see stem mastering: the chain and benefits are different.
In the studio or remotely
Artists and labels can attend the session at the studio in Paris, by appointment. From anywhere in the world, attended remote sessions via ListenTo let you hear every adjustment in high fidelity, at the same rate.
Frequently asked questions
Which file formats should I send?
WAV or AIFF, 24-bit or 32-bit float, at the project's native sample rate (44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz). Recommended headroom: -6 dBFS on peaks, with no limiter on the master bus.
What is the usual turnaround?
Two to three business days from receipt of files and payment. Slightly longer for an EP or album — the exact deadline is stated on the quote.
How many revisions are included?
One revision is included in the rate. Additional revisions are billed separately, based on time spent.
Are the masters ready for streaming platforms?
Yes. Delivery in the requested format (16- or 24-bit WAV, DDP for pressing), with streaming optimization built into the process.
Is this mastering suitable for vinyl pressing?
Vinyl requires a dedicated master that accounts for the physical constraints of the format. See the vinyl mastering page for a pressed project.
