Mastering
Instead of shipping the project to Nashville or New York it can be mastered right here in-house at David’s Mastering Desk with his SADiE Disk Editor and Master Pack. The SADiE System is used to give your projects that final polishing today’s artists need to succeed. Your levels will be consistent and you will be the same volume as the other guy.
Individual songs can be seamlessly edited to alter verse placement within the song. At this point your songs can be put in any order you choose. Additionally, start and end of track, and indexes are defined for disc navigation, getting the songs just the way you want.
When you have your project Mastered, it brings it up to par with everyone else. Mastering summed up means putting the polish on your project and giving it that extra “umph.”
Sadie Series 5 Disk Editor
The SADiE platform meets the demand for more powerful high-speed processing of today’s high-resolution audio formats up to 192kHz/24-bit.
The Master Pack offers the Red Book Mastering option which also includes CD Pre-Mastering to DDP/CDR with ISRC and UPC/EAN Codes, Mastering Limiter, Hi-Dither, PQ Editing & List Printing, etc.
