Welcome to the Audio Bay, the analog mastering specialist! We are an analog mastering studio that partners with independent artists and record labels to provide a vital step in professional music production. The head engineer and managing partner, Andrew Mitchell, has over 20 years of professional analog mastering experience. Since 1999 he has worked with independent and label supported artists and has become a sought after expert in the field of audio post-production. Our goal is simple, exceed expectations and deliver a sound that can compete in any market.
Our analog mastering processes deliver a sound with wonderful sonic detail, warmth and clarity while preserving the dynamic range of the mix. Unlike digital mastering we are not interested in “brick-walling” a mix for the sake of being “LOUD.” We use 100% analog mastering equipment, including Manley, Neve, API, Avalon, Neumann and more, to get the most out of a mix without compromising it.
