PREFERENCE MASTERING, PARIS
The professional Analogue Mastering solution for your musical productions !

The last stage in the process, mastering can bring the best out of your productions and compositions. A perfect dynamic range and a homogeneous frequency spectrum will enhance your listening experience, whatever the audio equipment used.

While endeavouring to remain faithful to the original works, we use state-of-the-art professional analogue equipment (high-precision tube compressor, analogue equalizer with outstanding musical quality) and top-of-the-range digital Mastering material for optimal audio fidelity and listening comfort.

Unlike many studios nowadays, we believe that digital and software Mastering don’t necessarily provide the best results and sound quality. High-quality analogue mastering is something that just can’t be done without!

Regularly, by performing a series of specific measurement, we check our entire audio chain (analog and digital) for each additional hardware or configuration change. We guarantee a clean sound without any disturbances in the signal such as digital aliasing or any analogue distortion.

Even when the sound recording is perfect and the mix impeccably accurate, the musical transparency and the original spectral colour captured at the time of recording don’t always survive. Nor can the listener be certain to perceive all the nuances of a mixing session.
Our aim is to retranscribe faithfully onto the end product all the character and texture of a recording and mix. Above all we aim to highlight this expressive character, by polishing the sound flow and ‘harmonizing’ its spectrum.

Once all these criteria have been taken into account, it is then necessary to homogenize all the tracks on an album in relation to each other – in terms of the subject’s individual perception of sound levels and in terms of spectral balance. This leads to a better listening experience, while respecting the dynamic range and the sound flow
