Mastering Studio Hamburg
Location
The studio is located in the centre of the city in a traditional Hanseatic building from 1867, vis-a-vis from the „Michaelis“ Main Church. The „Michel“ is the landmark of the City of Hamburg. From the studio you have an impressive view of the ancient architecture versus the modern urban scenery across Ludwig-Erhard-Street.
Studio
Acoustics by Oswald Krienke.
Monitors are EX MACHINA PULSAR.
Due to their detailed reproduction and wide bass range, masters will translate to any consumer, club and studio playback system.
Workflow
I’m using a hybrid system, consisting of world class analogue equipment and a collection of the most advanced digital tools. Plugins are mainly (but not only) used for surgical purposes prior to adding analog character and colour to the tracks. Please find an overview of my equipment below…
