MIXING & MASTERING 360º

With the rise of spatial sound systems we are reaching a new decade where the immersive sound experience will lead the change for a new way of listening to music.

We are introducing new services focused on artists, record labels and agencies; or those who want to join into the future without boundaries; listening to music in stereo systems, line arrays, dance stacks, theatres, headphones, multichannel systems, VR or ambisonics applications.

The format “360 degrees” (ambisonics 1st order) is encoded into a stereo/binaural .wav file using our custom process. You can best enjoy the 360° sounds with headphones but also with normal stereo systems.

MIXDOWN 360º
Mixdown service using custom ambisonics, M/S and psychoacoustic techniques developed with 4DSOUND (NL) and the University st Mark & st John (UK) to generate depth in the X, Y and Z axis of a single stereo file adding space and definition to projects with a maximum of 24 stereo (or mono) channels.

MASTERING 360º
Mastering service using custom ambisonics, M/S and psychoacoustic techniques developed with 4DSOUND (NL) and the University st Mark & st John (UK) to emphasize the X, Y and Z axis of a single stereo file while keeping the transients and dynamics from the original stereo mix adjusted to the Loudness Unit levels of our industry standards.
