Painting is an art. And so is mixing.

Equalizers, compressors and effects are the brushes and colours we use.
They have the power to shape and enhance moods and emotion,
to create intimacy and dimension.

With these tools at hand, we set out to provide the perfect frame for this musical canvas.
It is the translation of your artistic vision, how your music reaches listener, that matters the most!

Mixed at Ebony Cuts!

Combining the highly sought after analog character & warmth of our rare vintage processors with the accuracy & flexibility of high end digital processing.
This can include anything from high quality M/S processing, reel tape bouncing, analog summing & reamping, to fine-tuning of pitch & timing as well as arranging & re-editing.
