Færder Audio

Analog + digital signalkjede

Færder Audio er et mastering- og innspillingsstudio i Oslo, drevet av Jonas Sjøvaag. Studioet ligger i Ekeberskrenten, rett utenfor Oslo sentrum.

Mer om studioet

Færder Audio leverer mastering gjort på analogt utstyr der ørene til tekniker Jonas Sjøvaag, og ikke en algoritme, bestemmer hva som skal skje.

Selve studioet kan også leies ut til preproduksjon og innspilling. Ta kontakt!

Mastering hos Færder Audio betyr at lyden bearbeides i en analog stereokjede gjennom hardware som blant annet rørkompressorer, equalizere, og en Studer A80 båndmaskin (ved behov). Rekkefølgen kan patches digitalt for å tilpasse verktøyet til lydbildet. Jeg mastrer enkeltlåter, stems og hele album som skal strømmes, eller trykkes og bli til CD eller vinyl.

Du trenger ikke være tilstede, men har du lyst til det så er du hjertelig velkommen. Til å begynne med kan du sende filene dine så lager jeg et overslag og et tilbud til deg. Bruker du skjemaet under lager jeg også en demo-master av 1 låt så kan du høre hva som blir gjort før du bestemmer deg.

Masteringtilbud
