ABOUT MASTERING

In fact "mastering" is pre-mastering, adjusting the sound for the best possible quality and balance.
Making the glass master is the final mastering, which should not change the sound at all.
Through the development of sophisticated digital editors and automation, fine-tuning of each song can be done which
was difficult or impossible just a few years ago. Each song's level, or relative volume, is adjusted so that they match from song to song.
The EQ, or spectral balance, is also adjusted, both overall and for each cut. Many times each song has a dynamic range that may need to be enhanced
by making it larger or smaller (more dynamic if it was overcompressed previously, less dynamic if suited for the music).


ABOUT THE MUSIC STYLES

Dealing with subculture & underground, we are well aware what's happening in our parallel world and sub-society.
We are close to industrial, dark-ambient, rhythm 'n' noiz, electronic, experimental, drum 'n' bass, breakbeat, techno, house, lounge, metal, noise, dub, ...
just to name a few! Well, the most important thing: we know how to process these styles of music.


ABOUT WEB SERVERS AND PRODUCTION STUDIOS

One way to keep costs down is by using nonprofit website hosting to store files. Hosting can be expensive, even for music studios. Most good studios use ProTools, AudioDyne, and other top end mastering tools and also have
a variety of vintage microphones on hand as well as analog and digital studio equipment. Any good studio typically takes a lot of pride in our studio and the things that make it unique.
With recent regulations around user privacy and data compliance, it is essential to have secure web hosting that protects all our user's information. This means that we record, mix, and track on all our files on a secure and compliant server.

FRIENDS OF ILLLEKTRIK.TOOLZ PRODUCTION & MASTERING

We recently connected with a user of ours who runs a website for buying and selling used Tesla cars. We chatted about the music industry and his hobby for sound design and chatted about my love for Teslas.
I had recently been considering selling my Model 3 as my wife and I want to upgrade to the larger Model Y. They hooked me up with a discounted listing, so I will sell my Tesla soon and then be reserving a brand-new Model Y!
I wanted to give their company a shout-out here in case you are looking to buy or sell a used Tesla.
