Our Tape Mastering

We use a Studer A80 tape machine with RMG SM911 1/2″ tape (at 15IPS), chosen and modified by us for perfect tape characteristics. We consider our machine unparalleled for:

  1.  Warmth and saturation – ±2dB @ 0.8 – 3.5KHz
  2. Gentle tape compression – < 2:1 ratio, frequency-dependent
  3. Very subtle tape wow/flutter effects for a true analog feel

The Process

We’ve worked hard to optimise our mastering process to make things quick and easy:

  1. After making your purchase, you can instantly submit your files via WeTransfer™.
  2. Within 3 working days, you’ll receive the complete, finished master in your Sound Sauce Online account.
  3. That’s it – done! If we didn’t get it quite right, you can always submit a revision request from your Sound Sauce Online account. We’ll always aim to complete a revision within 3 working days.
