Monitoring for Real-World Translation

A great mix needs to translate well across all listening environments. That’s why we trust the Dynaudio BM6A as our primary nearfield monitors. Known for their clarity, honest frequency response, and detailed low end, the BM6As allow us to make confident mixing decisions that hold up in the real world—whether it’s a car stereo, headphones, or a venue PA system.

For secondary referencing, we also use iLoud Micro Monitors. These compact but powerful speakers provide an accurate representation of how a mix will sound on consumer-level systems, helping us ensure consistency across platforms.

Analog Warmth & Precision

We incorporate select analog gear where it enhances the mix, adding warmth, character, and a sense of space. Our analog signal chain includes:

• Neve 1073 DPX – A dual-channel, Class A preamp and EQ, ideal for adding harmonic richness and vintage tone

• Neve 511 and Neve 2264ALB – For precision EQ and punchy analog dynamics

• Rupert Neve 5059 Satellite – A summing mixer that brings out dimension, depth, and cohesion across the mix

• Empirical Labs De-Esser – A trusted unit for taming harsh sibilance with a natural, transparent touch

This hybrid workflow—digital flexibility paired with analog character—gives us the best of both worlds.

What’s Included in Every Mix

• Professional mixing using top-tier software and analog tools

• Tone sculpting across vocals, instruments, and layered elements

• Spatial enhancement and cinematic layering

• Stereo image refinement and frequency balance

• Final stereo mix ready for mastering

• Collaborative revisions to ensure it meets your vision

Every artist, every song, every session is different. That’s why we don’t do one-size-fits-all mixes. We take the time to understand your sound and your goals.

We believe your music deserves more than a preset chain or a quick pass-through. It deserves care, craftsmanship, and creative partnership.

At Round Corner Studios, mastering isn’t just the last step in your recording journey, it’s the moment where everything you’ve worked for comes together. It’s where we fine-tune your music to shine at its absolute best, ensuring it sounds perfect across all platforms and environments.

Mastering is often misunderstood as just “polishing” a track, but it’s so much more. It’s the art of preparing your music for the world, optimizing it for various listening formats, and giving it the professional finish it deserves.

The Mastering Process: Precision Meets Creativity

While mixing shapes the mood and energy of your track, mastering takes it to the next level by enhancing the sound as a whole. It involves adjusting EQ, compression, stereo width, and volume to ensure your music translates perfectly, no matter where it’s heard from headphones to stadiums.

At Round Corner, we take a thoughtful, artist-first approach to mastering. We don’t treat it as a cookie-cutter process. Each song is unique, and our goal is to bring out its best qualities while preserving your creative vision.

Before we begin, we’ll listen carefully to the final mix and discuss with you what you want to achieve. Whether you’re looking for a polished, radio-ready finish or a raw, dynamic sound that stands out, we tailor our approach to match your vision.

The Tools Behind the Magic

We believe in using the best tools available to create the highest-quality sound. At Round Corner Studios, we utilize a combination of high-end analog gear and digital precision to get the perfect result. Our mastering chain is designed to enhance your music without compromising its integrity.

Some of the tools we use include:

• • Ableton Live & Logic ProX: These versatile DAWs are the backbone of our mastering process, allowing us to fine-tune every detail with precision. Whether we’re working with stems or a final mix, these platforms provide the flexibility we need to shape your track.

  • UAD & Slate Digital (Full Access): From analog warmth to high-end EQ adjustments, UAD and Slate Digital give us the ability to fine-tune your track with exceptional detail and clarity.

  • Neve & Empirical Labs Analog Gear: We use iconic Neve gear like the 1073 DPX, 511, 88M, and 2264ALB to add warmth and depth, while the Empirical Labs De-Esser ensures clean, clear vocals without harsh sibilance.

  • Rupert Neve 5059 Satellite & Radial Reamp Box: These tools help us achieve flawless signal flow and reamping capabilities, letting us shape the sound to its fullest potential.

Your Sound, Everywhere You Want It

Mastering ensures that your music will sound its best on all platforms. Whether it’s streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, digital downloads, or physical formats like vinyl and CD, we prepare your tracks to be heard the way they were meant to be consistently and perfectly, no matter where they’re played.

We also understand that the mastering process isn’t just about technical precision it’s about ensuring that your music connects with your audience in the most impactful way possible. That’s why we take the time to fully understand the heart of your project and work with you to bring it to life in the final master.

A Personal Touch to Mastering

Mastering is more than just a technical service, it’s a collaborative effort. We work closely with you to make sure that the final product matches your vision and feels true to the art you’ve created. It’s a process of care, creativity, and craft. It’s a personalized, detailed process that leaves no stone unturned because when your music is finally mastered, it deserves to be heard at its best.

The post Editing first appeared on Round Corner Studios.

You don’t have to live in Nashville to make your dream record happen.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that artists think they have to physically be in the studio to get their music produced, mixed, and mastered. But the truth is, thanks to remote collaboration, you can send us a voice memo from your bedroom, and we can help you turn it into a fully produced album.

Whether you’re across the country or across the globe, we offer full remote production services. That means no flights, no hotel stays, no time away from your family or job—just your sound, your songs, and a trusted team to bring them to life.

How It Works

1. Send Us a Demo or Voice Memo
   It can be as simple as a voice recording of you singing into your phone. Seriously. We’ve started full records from rough iPhone memos before. The important part is capturing the heart of your song. From there, we can begin to build the sound around it.

2. Creative Call & Vision Casting
   We’ll hop on a Zoom or phone call to talk through your vision, genre, influences, instrumentation, and anything else you dream for the project. Whether you’ve got a fully mapped-out arrangement or just a spark of an idea, we’ll help shape it.

3. Track Building & Production
   Our team gets to work on the music while staying in close contact with you throughout the process. You’ll get roughs and versions as we go, so you can give feedback and stay involved every step of the way.

4. Vocals—Your Way
   You can either track your vocals at a local studio near you, or we can ship you a mic and walk you through recording them at home. (Yes, really!) We’ll guide you on how to get the best vocal takes in your space.

5. Mixing & Mastering
   Once all the pieces are in, we’ll professionally mix and master the tracks to a radio-ready finish—clear, punchy, and polished.

6. Done—Start to Finish
   Before you know it, you’ve got a finished song, EP, or full album without ever stepping foot in the studio.

This process has helped so many artists finally bring their music to life no matter where they live.
Sometimes all it takes is a little courage to send that first voice memo. We’ll take it from there.
