These are MP3-converted web samples from the latest Shadow Circuit before/after mastering demo.
On my analog mastering chain I had Rupert Neve 542s enabled with slight tape and “red” transformer saturation, Avedis E27s (without any boost or cuts, I like how they sound just being on the chain), Wes Audio Hyperion for clinical cuts and slight boosts on the sides using M/S processing, Manley Massive Passive Mastering with slight boosts on the low end, mids, upper mids and highs, Manley Mini Massive had slight boost on low end for punch and 1dB of parallel compression (70%) using the Wes Audio Dione for punch and smoothed out with the Manley Vari Mu with an additional 1dB of compression. I ran through the RME ADI 2/4 AD/DA for a perfect analog loop. If you’d like to have me master your next project contact me at conrad@deftune.io. Thanks for listening!
