And we’re off!
The first week back after the holidays and already starting with some great releases.
During the holidays, I did a lot of redesigning & reinvestment in the studio.
There’s now a fully functioning referencing room (room two), utilising the Focal SM9’s & sub, Amphion Loudspeakers ltd.'s lovely sounding One 18's, surround monitoring using Focal & Monitor Audio, with new referencing DAC’s for room two & additional DAC’s for the main mastering room; so now we have the Dangerous Music Convert system (Convert 2, AD+, Monitor ST etc), Kii Audio Remote for the Kii Three’s using either USB or Optical, RME ADI-2 Dac FS for referencing stuff catered more toward HiFi, and custom made signal routing via iOS to be able to route signals out of the main mastering room into room two & reference the audio on multiple systems in separate rooms, while being able to emulate different room modes & speaker systems. So after many hours of fiddling, head scratching and wiring, it’s safe to say that if it sounds good in the mastering room, and if it sounds good in the referencing room, then it’ll sound good pretty much everywhere.
For those of you that are into 3D printing; I’ve also started doing bits in the work shop where I’ll be designing studio accessories using CAD and 3D design, and uploading the designs for free over on Printables, starting off with a custom made Kii Three remote stand, and a cable rack (there’s some other really silly bits on my Printable page too that are just for fun). This is a work in progress so there’ll be more bits added over time, but if you have some ideas of what we can make then please send them over, and I’ll do my best if time allows (and it's not too complex!).
If you're on Printable - then you can follow me over there:

I hope this year has started off well for you all, and thanks for your continued support with using me and my studio for your mastering needs.
All the best for 2025!
