Welcome to Living
Studio E.C.P.
(Emotion Converting Plant)
We offer you very good
sound that is second to none! Mastering of various
styles of music have been our passion for many years. We
have perfected our methods which results in sound that is
strong, balanced and spatious.
You will also find here a lot of useful information
and
articles on music production, history of synthesizers
and much more!
Living Studio Emotion Converting Plant stands for exactly
what we do - we convert human emotions into music, making it
much more enjoyable to human ear. Such improvement in
quality of any music gives it more listening pleasure over regular,
unmastered, or poorly mastered tracks.
Above all, we care for that
special vibe that gives the sound valor of being convicingly
alive. We belive musicians' cost and effort in recordig their
music deserves only the best in final touch that is mastering.
A few words about us...
There are many
recording and mastering studios out there. At the same time,
more and more people create music at home, using computer
and software. It is quite possible to get very good sound if
you really care for it and put a lot of work into it and
know, what you do.
Then why should you send your material to us?

Experience
We have more than
15 years of experience on that field. During that time we
worked on just about every genre of music from classical to
hip hop to voice to trash metal. This, and the level of dedication we put into
making of each track makes us a very reasonable choice.
At Living Studio ECP Studio we have developed the Analogization 3D
process, which gives
digital tracks highly demanded character of top class
analog devices. We use that process during
mastering music and also remastering of finished albums and it gives truly outstanding results. Analogization 3D is unique and it
delivers fantastic,
loud, round,
warm and full sound.
Here are some examples of
quality remastering with Ana 3D used.

We
use the latest , most acclaimed studio systems and
hardware, reference quality custom monitoring systems, and
above all hi experience and dedication level which enable
us to provide our clients with superior sound quality
emphasizing their work.
Our work includes, among others:
-mixing
-premastering
-mastering the whole CD albums using ANA 3D technique
-mastering single tracks
-mastering voice recordings and radio and TV broadcasts
-vocal mastering (acapella, e.g. arias)
-mastering film soundtracks and sounds for computer games
-remastering older recordings, noise and hum removal
-restoring old or faulty recording bringing them to the
wholly new quality
-recording the whole new projects from scratch
We carry out high-class mastering (improving quality of audio tracks) at
competitive and attractive prices. But our goal is not
selling the price - we always concentrate on
uncompromised quality.
Our motto is: “No matter how well done it is,
we can do it better!”.

Here
is more detailed description of
the NONA 3D mastering steps we apply to each recording:
1 Playback of the
material using reference audio system. Thorough analysis
of tonal balance, panorama, mix proportions and overall
quality of sound.
Also sonic spectrum, phase problems
at
average and maximum level are analyzed. After such analysis the recording is compared
to best recordings of today's music
to see what should be done and how things can be improved to
make it sound like references.
2
Transfer of the material to hi definition format of 24 bit
88,2 khz in order to eliminate all the errors possible during
processing. In digital domain resolution in which we work
has big importance because of errors, which cumulate when
the material of low resolution is being processed. It
happens, because the lower resolutions have shorter sequence
of zeros and ones (called digital word) which describe a
single sample. Therefore low resolution cuts off what can not be described by short digital words.
Cumulating of errors repeats every time when we do
any processing to the material, even when we just change the
volume. Using the high resolution eliminates the errors which happen during low
resolution processing.
3
Correction of sound spectrum as needed. We also use such devices as analogue eq or top
class reel to reel tape deck.
4 Dynamic
balance. Dynamics of the recording is the difference
between the most quiet and the loudest moments and also between momentary impulses (called
transients) and average level. Typically best results are obtained with use of relatively
big dynamic differences, even for the music such as heavy
metal rock. Too much compression causes loss of punch and
strength of the recording and also the definition of sound. From the other hand if the differences in
dynamics are too big the recording lacks roundness and
level. Therefore the main aim of this step is to obtain ideal dynamic coherency.
5 Correction of
phase and panorama of the recording. It is very important
because it makes sound
much more natural and detailed.
6 Touches on ambient content of the recording
using reverb on certain frequencies, as needed. Dry recordings never
sound good. Adding the right amount of ambience at certain
frequencies makes it sound much better and natural.
7
Final setting the best
sonic balance between the bass, middle and the hi end of
recording.
8
Working up the highest level possible without destroying the
sound quality and artistic credo. The level is an important
factor in perception of a recording. Even very well arranged and produced song
can
lose some of it's impact if it is too quiet. We use optimum
methods to reach hi level without any sonic
compromise.
9
Hi quality dithering. The dithering hcan have
big influence on sound. The right dithering lets us perceive
digital sound as more transparent. It emphasizes the details
especially in quiet passages, such as reverb tails and other
sonic nuances like distant backgrounds or synthesizer pads. It
gives significant improvement to the quality of
recording.
