Absolute pleasure to be working with the brilliant people behind @nyegenyegefest – this release is so so good! Recorded in Reunion Island, released on a Ugandan label, mastered here in Leeds at #declaredsound . Be real quick if you want one of the super limited cassettes, but if you miss out make sure you support the label and artists by getting the digital from the bandcamp… https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/the-electro-maloya-experiments-of-jako-maron #mastering #masteringengineer #masteringstudio #nyegenyege #cassette #uganda #reunionisland #leeds #synth #drummachine #maloya #electronic #music

Here’s the brilliant new @sim_hutchins album ‘Clubeighteen2thirty’ released on @localactionrec very soon! He’s a lovely dude, and the first artist I mastered officially – without his encouragement I genuinely might not have ended up building my own mastering studio – so it’s a real pleasure to see his music reaching a bigger stage. Lots of this new album received loving post-production via my compressors, valve tubes and other hardware in the studio. #tape #cassette #album #music #ladsmeaningeveryone #localaction #masteringstudio #musicstudio #recordingstudio #musicproducer #musicproduction #declaredsound

Following on from my homemade bass traps… The result of a lot of research, patience, design, sourcing materials, construction and testing. I am lucky enough to own a pair of Dunlavy speakers, some of the best speakers ever made, and I wanted to be sure I get the most out of them. I didn’t trust companies making their own acoustic panels – amazing how many charge crazy money yet refuse to make technical details of frequency absorption available, so I developed and built my own. Measuring the frequency response of the room and carefully matching the acoustic materials to precise room locations in order to create a flat and balanced room that allows the incredible performance of Dunlavy’s waveform accuracy to shine. Inordinately proud of myself listening to the room change as I mounted these yesterday, millimetre perfect focus away from the room and right to where it matters – the speakers. #studiobuild #mastering #masteringstudio #masteringengineer #musicstudio #recordingstudio #music #musician #musicproducer #musicproduction #sound #audio #acoustics #soundproofing #acoustictreatment #vinyl #cassette #tape #digital #CD #analogue #dunlavy #speakers #leeds #declaredsound
