Mixing
Mixing is another service we occasionally provide. Formats include Logic and Cubase/Nuendo.
All tracks should be exported in wav 24 bit (mono where appropriate) out of any sequencer.Mixing is done both in the box and using our TAB/Telefunken and Sveriges Radio consoles, tracks run over "456"-tape on our Studer C37 Tube-Tape machine, analog filters. Re-amping, real room-reverb, whatever it takes.To some extent we also provide room for overdubs and basic recording.

All with sweet, vintage analog gear.
