Anyone mind posting one?

All I know of is three...

Subvert Central
Precise Mastering (does work for Hemlock)
Amsterdam Mastering (Noisia)

I'm interested in finding out some studios (so I can get some prices) who did work for people like Mount Kimbie, James Blake, Scuba, etc...

myself.

I can vouch for the work that LD & Jason @ Transition and Shane @ Finyl Tweek have done for myself-- top stuff.

John Dent @ Loud Mastering
Dubplates and mastering in Berlin

So that's two for FinylTweek. What are their prices like? (Can't find on site)

dubstudio , tkm audio... only two Ive ever walked away satisfied with, and Ive tried alot of different m.e.'s

Thats why I'm looking for reputable places who do work for artists I've already heard. I figure if a label I respect works with them, they must be good. But I'm finding it hard to track down studios for specific albums/artists I have in my collection...

Check the inner groove, it'll say there where it was cut.

I have always been impressed with the mixes of Sub Swara.... but the new album is on a new level. I don't know if it is self-mastered or what, but all I know is that no matter who is mastering, tracks don't sound that great unless the people behind it know what the fuck they are doing.


I have worked with many of the big names in the game, and the next one on my list is Dave.

^ cheers man. I hate (HATE) mastering my own material and avoid doing it at all costs. I'll do it for dub mixes to test things out, etc, but otherwise, i definitely want an objective set of ears-- and i highly recommend that line of thought to anyone involved in creating audio. For your music to exist in the outside world amongst its peers, 9 times out of 10 it's imperative that you have someone else to bounce sonic ideas off of.

Shane @ Finyl Tweek did the whole record, amidst a nasty bout of the flu and his 4th (!) child being born. A real trooper and some excellent work, with a lot of great back-and-forth. I went back and changed 3 or 4 mixes, and we probably went through 3 full rounds of masters until we were all satisfied w/ what we had.

As far as my own work goes, the most recent release is Embassy 004: http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=166159, preceeded by Bass Tourist 009 (Mista Men) & 010 (Secret Agent Gel).

been playing out Moldy's tunes on Embassy005 quite a lot (which i had the pleasure of mastering as well)... nothing as enjoyable as mastering great songs with solid mixdowns.

To credit other folks, Jason & LD @ Transition did the 1st 2 Low Motion 12's, and Macc has mastered a number of mixes i've done for other folks-- always with fantastic results. Like i said, some real talent on this forum.

For all those you need look no further than www.precisemastering.com

3 people we use/d for different projects:

Ginz @ Multiverse, did the Eleven Tigers release and the digital release of Hyetal's single on Soul Motive. Sounded great and very reasonably priced.

Jack @ Optimum, great guy, great ear, great studio. Everything I heard him work sound fantastic.

Beau @ Masterpiece, sadly we don;t use beau anymore (Jack and Ginz are bristol based so sit in sessions are a go), but beau has touched most classic DnB mixdowns and everything he touched for us was gold.

Just finished reading an article about Multiverse in the new issue of futuremusic, good read!
