November 2012 update:

So 2012 has been our busiest year so far, I have installed 2 wonderful items of equipment in the studio the HCL VaRiS Vari-mu compressor and the legendary MANLEY Massive Passive Hardware. Both items getting heavy use in the studio. I plan to update this blog with more regularity if at all possible. I have now put Facebook and Twitter Icons on the web pages so you can follow what is happening there too. I would like to thank all my clients for their patronage and helping the mastering studio grow in to what has to be the leading low cost, high end online mastering studio there is. Despite the new high end equipment there is no price raises planned for the foreseeable future, it's important that our services are affordable to musicians at every level. In fact there has been 1 price rise in 5 years of operation and that is 1 track pricing went up from £25.00 to £28.00 about 12 months ago. So when you want no compromise analogue mastering at almost the same rate as others plug in attempts SafeandSound Mastering remains the place to go ! Current gear list: PMC IB1S (large format speakers) Analogue equipment: MANLEY Massive Passive Hardware (there is at least one mastering studio which shows the hardware in their site header when they only own the UAD plug in in there plug in gear list, bad show chaps, tut tut) HCL Varis valve compressor Summit Audio DCL-200 compressor (valve) Sontec clone stereo custom mastering EQ TC Electronic 2240HS equalizer All the best with your musical pursuits.

Sorry it's been a long while...

very busy in the studio these days which is great. Today rock, drum and bass and a singer songwriter album is on the go. All is ticking along nicely and there could be a nice equipment upgrade coming soon, just speaking with manufacturers now, more on that later in the spring I suspect. 1 Track price has increased by £3.00 to £28.00 which relates to the time taken to set up a project for a single song and also remain competitive.

All the Best.
