The world’s best sounding mastering. Powered entirely by the sun.
We’re proud of the studio we’ve built. Designed from the ground up with acoustic accuracy and translation at the forefront. Monitoring by ATC and Rhythmik, controlled by a Trinnov unit. The absolute finest mastering gear on earth from the likes of Knif, Elysia, as well as fully custom gear for when an off-the-shelf solution didn’t exist. To top this all off, the solar panels on the roof generate approximately 4x more energy than the studio itself draws..
Every song mastered plants a tree.
Because: why not. Trees are awesome. They are a key ingredient in most of my favorite places to spend time outside of this studio. In just the 10 years since Rogue Planet Mastering came into existence, the importance of protecting our precious home planet has become more apparent than ever.
To that end, i’ve pledged to fund the planting of a tree for every song I master from today forward. You get the most amazing master you’ve ever heard, the Earth gets a tree. Everyone wins!
