Recent Projects
The studio began in Baltimore in 1995 to meet the audio mastering needs of Mid-Atlantic clients. We've had the opportunity to work with artists and labels in Australia, Canada, Cote d ' Ivoire, Ecuador, France, Germany, Guinea, Holland, Italy, Morocco, Japan, Spain, Sierra Leone, Turkey, United Kingdom and the USA - mastering a plethora of vinyl singles and full-length CDs.
Like many boutique studios, we have our fingers in a lot of pies. While we still do a fair amount of audio work, we have expanded into other forms of media as our client's careers have evolved. Since relocating to the mountains of Colorado in 2005 our focus has been Motion Graphix, Video Editing and DVD Authoring .
We attack every project with a passion for excellence and strong work ethic.
Video Editing:
Toney Parka's music video for "Bang The Movement"
DVD Authoring:

Doug is my secret weapon, the last line of defense before our work goes public. I trust his ear completely and cannot imagine working with another mastering house. His time and personal attention has been essential in the quality of our releases.Steve Archer - Ego Likeness
