XARC Mastering announces the launch of Europe’s first and the world’s only Internet specific designed online mastering studio. This new and unique Internet based service is available to discerning artists, musicians and anyone else needing high-quality time/cost efficient professional mastering anywhere in the world, with the entire process provided via a secure SSL encrypted connection ensuring that the entire experience is safe, secure and much faster as well as more affordable than conventional mastering studios.
Based in Germany and founded by Lorenz Vauck, XARC Mastering is already having a huge impact on the mastering business with dozens of clients from 19 countries (including Japan, USA, UK, Australia, Germany, Canada, Spain and Italy) already using the service.
Additionally, XARC are offering partnerships with independent artists and studios that can now add XARC to their own service options.
In the past week alone Stereo Image in Singapore as well as Static Productions in Rhode Island USA have decided to offer their own clients the exclusive opportunity to work with XARC.
Of course using the Internet for this technical and sonically challenging part of the recording process will take people a little time to get used to, but already XARC are benefiting from introducing a client service model second to none. For instance XARC have introduced a safety net for clients, delivering results by MP3 or WAV files back to the client for final sign off and payment.
Lorenz Vauck comments:
“We felt it was time to offer high quality, but affordable mastering while making use of today’s communication possibilities. Because our costs are lower than conventional studios, mastering is no longer only a luxury of the professional musician. Artists at all levels can now use our experienced engineers to ensure that their material is mastered to the high quality required for commercial success.”
At the end of the day though, it is the client that really should be the ones that talk up a new company and innovation like XARC Mastering
All the following testimonials are real, and are also available on the company website (www.xarcmastering.com)
“I had the track back and mastered before 48 hours with an excellent result. It actually sounded great. It was similar, if not better, to the work done by the other studios I’ve worked with, but much faster.
All I can say is that XARC Mastering gives you a great service at a great price, and I recommend them to everyone who wants to get a superb final result of their mixes” - David Martínez, Spain
"I am thrilled with the result of the demo master. Your description is perfect. The sound is nice and warm and the instruments sparkle, each in its own separate space. I was very, very satisfied with the vocal presentation, too. Both the lead and backgrounds are very warm and balanced sounding." - Milan Christi, Germany
"Hey man, Good job! I can hear the bass much more clearly, and there is more of a stereo field to it. I also noticed at the end, you pumped up the bass line to extend it a lil longer. And added some panning at the end. I’m impressed with what you’ve done to such an initially crappy mix. You can quote me on that." - Michael Lewis, USA
"The master is fine for me: I appreciate very much the bass definition and the dynamics enhancement." - Jean Paul, Italy
More, more, more…..
"I have had a good listen and yet again I am very happy with the results so I will go with them." - Andrew Pye, UK
"I tested your mastered version on several systems versus the original and versus commercial CD's I have. The sound quality is fantastic!" - Greg Mc Laughlin, Canada
