Suite Sound Labs has analog hardware & digital software for high quality, world class audio mastering. Over the years I have found this page receives the least traffic and if you are reading this you are likely another studio. Welcome!

There are tubes, transformers, colourful, flavorful, vibey, warm, rich (insert other adjectives of your choice here) pieces of analog equipment. There are also clean, transparent, Class A, precise (insert more technical adjectives here) analog pieces that may help get the job done even better sometimes. There are new computers with current and classic software, plug ins, programs, encoders and even a CD burner.

I start each master with a blank slate and based on your level of input, I go in which direction is going to get to the best sounding master for your project. I’m a recording engineer with 20+ years of professional experience working with artists and not just someone that owns a room of equipment (but while I’m working on your music I’m in that control room full of equipment). Below is a not so frequently updated list of gear. Feel free to send me a question about equipment I might use on your project if you are interested.
