Mastering//

In Early 2006, FSR head engineers Squarewave and sz0n1ck [aka Research & Development] began to offer their mastering services to outside artists. Specializing in delivering professional results to the electronic artist/producer in the digital age, FSR provides everything needed to finalize, maximize, and improve overall quality of digital masters- including 24-bit/192kHz converters (the same A/D converters used in Digidesign®'s ProTools® HD 192 I/O interface) and finely tuned full range monitoring courtesy of KRK Systems Inc. as well as the industry's leading digital signal processing & exclusive, proprietary plugin technology. Combining over 5 years of experience in post-production and digital mastering, the FSR Mastering Engineers provide undeniable results with a proven track record.
