Always on the leading edge, we've recently added SACD mastering capabilities to our popular audio mastering facility helmed by veteran engineer Richard Harrow. In addition to a Merging Technologies Pyramix system, DSD guru Ed Meitner personally delivered his world reknowned ADC8 MKIV 8-channel A/D and D/D and DAC8 MKIV 8-channel D/A and D/D Converters. Being long time Ed Meitner fans, we also use his Switchman MK.II Switching Control Centre as well. For more info on emmLabs, visit: www.emmlabs.com/studio.php.

Of course, now that SACD mastering is available, we are also handling replication of the final discs. The Super Audio CDs can be packaged in either standard jewel cases or Super Jewel Cases which are very popular for SACD projects. The discs come in a variety of formats: SACD Stereo, SACD Multi-Channel (5.1 surround sound mixes) and SACD Hybrid which also include a standard 16 bit - 44.1 KHz stereo mix which can be played on any existing audio CD player or DVD player. For more info and pricing contact one of our customer service reps.

On the standard audio side, Richard has been extremely busy mastering projects for the Wild Colonial Boys, Dave Wilkie & the Stoned Masons, Andy Stevenson, the Neckers, Wil Minor, Ben Rose, Marshall Veal and, most notably, for our favorite "Nashville Star" George Canyon whose new single "Good Day To Ride" is getting tons of airplay across the country

Although the first three singles from his debut album ("Her Everything", "Enough Said" and "Way Too Much") all charted in the Top 10 on CMT, music industry experts predict that George Canyon's latest release "Good Day To Ride" is destined to become his breakthrough hit!ÝAfter 14 years in the business, George Canyon has become an "overnight success" due to the widespread exposure he received on "Nashville Star" and we couldn't be happier for him!
