Vintage Analog stereo mastering is the process using only vintage outboard gear – that is, anything that is not software based.

Unlike mastering with software in a digital realm, the analog process utilizes tube and solid state hardware that both optimizes a stereo mix and produces a definitive sound, enhancing the clarity, depth, width and even warmth of a stereo mix.

Vinyl mastering is a form of analog mastering whereby the album is prepared for optimal playback on a vinyl record.  A mastered song for a CD and digital release is quite different from the same song that is mastered for vinyl.  

The overall equalization and balance is similar but the dynamic range and optimization can be quite different.

 Extra attention is paid to the stereo image and frequency response to meet the limitations of the vinyl format.

Stem Mastering is a mastering process whereby the engineer  will master a song, not from a stereo mix but from a small group of sub-mixes, i.e. a vocal mix, an instrument mix, and a drum mix.

We offer stem mastering on request.Vu Productions Mastering Studio is one of the few studios to provide   authentic  vintage analog stem mastering service.

We process each track in a Class A gear ,while keeping your tracks musicality and sound big,fat,dynamic and 3d.

Mastered For iTunes is the new standard of digital files for online music within the iTunes store.

 MFiT files are higher resolution than CD quality, and are encoded with the Apple AAC encoder. These files are higher quality than most other online music stores.The master is auditioned through the Apple Music encoder and measures are taken to preserve the original sound.

If you are planning to get your tracks Mastered for iTunes Vu Productions sees that the tracks are recorded at 96Khz and 24bit . files.

Remastering is the process of making a new master for an album or an individual song. It tends to refer to the process of porting a recording from an analogue medium to a digital one, but this is not always the case.A remaster can be done for various formats such as iTunes, cds, vinyl, movies and sound libraries.The dynamic and eq processing is not different to our standard audio mastering and the same techniques are used.
