mixing music with very emotional, one of a kind approach
We are a professional mastering studio having our own vision of
sound quality and its impact on listeners. Our vision is to
tweak emotions contained in a musical piece in such a way
they become more prominent, consistent and balanced. This
way the music becomes work of art that can be timeless.
We carry out high-class mastering (improving quality of audio tracks) at
competitive and attractive prices. But our goal is not doing
something good for good price- we always concentrate on
absolutely uncompromised quality.
Emotion Converting Plant stands for exactly what we do- we
convert human emotions into music. Because mastering is art, just like
all other stages of creating music. And the art is all about
emotions. This is what we do- converting emotions of
musicians and singers into new dimension. Our work is based
of many years experience. And our clients are extremely
satisfied not just because we do the work of mastering
right. They can feel, that we put heart into what we do with
their music. And the value of putting real emotions into any
work is truly priceless. Especially, if the work is music. We
use the latest, most acclaimed studio systems and
hardware such as the latest Pro Tools HD 3, absolutely
outstanding microphones and monitoring systems, which enable
us to provide our clients with superior sound quality even
at the moment of recording.
MASTERING AND
MUSIC PRODUCTION
Welcome everybody to the
Emotion Converting Plant, an Editing and Mastering Studio,
where even the boldest dreams can come true! We put many years of
experience into the art of making the sound better, which art is called Mastering. The excellent sound is
our passion and pleasure, and our motto is: “No matter how well done it is, it can be done better!”.
We would like to take you to a musical trip to the land of excellent sound, the land of natural and transparent music
which is emotional, the place, which will let you forget about all that surrounds us and will let
you integrate into what is the best in a recording - the
human emotions. The trip, that will let you feel the music with all
your body and mind, and let you hear even the slightest nuances within it, up to the
upper limits of thrill and ecstasy.
If you want to get an absolute maximum of quality out of your
recording you have hit the ideal spot, for this is what we
do and this is our mission. We do not know the limits of music just like we do not limit ourselves to just one approach to the
sound. The world is limitless. limitless should also be
the music, which describes and expresses it.
And so we invite you to our journey to the magical world of
Sound- if we in our studio, Emotion Converting Plant, can be
helpful to you in anything, if we can put some light onto
some musical topic or if we just can help you getting your musical dream
real, we consider our role as
fulfilled.
Sincerely,
Marius Wojton, Emotion Converting Plant
MASTERING EXAMPLES mp3>>>
Results
such as these are possible thanks to unique technology
developed and applied only in our Studio. We called it
Nona Mastering, because it contains nine carefully
thought over and meticulously tested over steps of signal
processing. You can read about this highly successful and
superior technique below.
NONA MASTERING
Developed by
our studio technology of sound processing has 9 steps, so we
called it Nona Mastering. Each of the steps is performed
separately from others. It allows us to concentrate on
achieving only one goal at a time, and allows getting much
better sonic results than chain processing used in cheaper
technologies. The work on each recording can take several
hours, but end result is much better than commonly used
“effect chain”. You can read more detailed description of
the mastering steps we do for each recording right below:
1 Thorough analysis
with use of all possible measurement methods.
Just listening
of the material is not precise enough, because there can be
problems in a recording In area where a human ear does not
hear eden with use of the best equipment. Besides,
listening sessions can dramatically vary depending on
atmospheric pressure, level of humidity, time of the day,
temperature, and psycho-physical state of the listener.
Therefore, every recording after initial listening is
carefully analyzed regarding sonic spectrum, phase
inconsistencies, top level, maximum average level, by us
here in ECP. After such analysis the recording is compared
to best, reference class recordings of music industry with
special attention to analyzed parameters in order to
establish what should be done and what should be improved to
make it sound like references, or, if possible, to make it
sound even better.
2
Transfer of the material to hi definition format of 32 bit
192 khz in order to eliminate all the errors possible during
processing. In digital domain resolution in which we work
has big importance because of errors, which cumulate when
the material of low resolution is being processed. It
happens, because the lower resolutions have shorter sequence
of zeros and ones (called digital word) that describe a
single sample, therefore low resolution work cuts all of
that, what can not be described by short digital words.
Cumulating of errors repeats every time when we do
something to the material, even when we just change the
volume. Using the highest possible resolution eliminates all
the errors and distortion, which could happen during low
resolution process.
3
Correction of sound spectrum using such devices as analog eq,
multiband dynamic expander, tube harmonic exciter or top
lass reel to reel tape deck.
4 Dynamics
correlation. Dynamics of the recording is the difference
between the most quiet and the loudest moments In this
recording, and also between momentary impulses (called
transients) and average level. Our experience show, that
typically best results are obtained with use of relatively
big dynamic differences, even for the music such as heavy
metal rock. Overcompression causes loss of punch and
strength of the recording and also the element called
“definition”. From the other hand if the differences in
dynamics are too big the recording also loses the same
elements. Therefore the main aim of this step is is
obtaining ideal dynamic coherency.
5 Correction of
phase and panorama of the recording’s stereo panorama
6 Spectral
touches on ambient content of the recording.
7
Final decision on sound spectrum and establishing the best
sonic balance between the bass, middle and the top.
8
Working up the highest level possible without destroying the
sond quality and artistic credo. The level is an important
factor in subjective valuating of a recording by an average
listener. Even very well arranged and produced song will
lose if it is too quiet. Here in ECP we use very advanced
methods to reach an absolute level without any sonic
compromise.
9
Final dithering of the highest quality.
Contrary to popular opinions, the dithering quality has very
big influence on sound. That is why the dithering is
performed at all. The right dithering lets us make the
digital sond more transparent and maximize the details
especially in quiet passages, reverb tails and sonic nuances
like distant backgrounds, for example synthesizer pads. It
gives significant improvement of the quality of your
recording.
