services


Mixing
The control room has been carefully designed and equipped to ensure perfect results every time. Combining the best of digital and analogue equipment to provide the sonic quality required for a professional result.

Artists are encouraged to take a rough mix away at the end of the recording in order to hear their work with fresh ears prior to commencing the mix on a separate day. As a musician himself, Hutchinson is all too aware of poor mix decisions being made in Studios due to listening fatigue. This is why this working ethic has been established to ensure this cannot happen here at Rookmere Studios.

The relative level between tracks is then checked before creating a Master with all the relative sub code information for duplication.
