is a company and trademark registered in 2017

Its advanced mastering chain has 3 goals:

return digital to quality of great mastered vinyl records

revisit actual mastering with more naturalness in sound

master stereo mix with new compression, EQ, center focus

Results approved by producers, international artists,

Positive feedback at Audio Show in L.A, France, Poland, Germany, Budapest, and China

RootMaster-3goals

Great mastered vinyl records and digital files have revealed interesting differences

at several international audio shows on advanced playback systems

Aspects of sound integrity were lost on digital

I developped a merging technique and a complex algorithm to deeply approximate

the original master analog recording sound and recently also work to master stereo mix

Transpose the main process to current unmastered mix with adapted settings

provides new sonic abilities impact

Listeners achieve anyway a better musical experience than they usually do

MASTERING CHAIN rm Ult/Ext

Back To Analog Root

2017-2019

It returns 'old' CD masters close to the original vinyl pressing of the analog masters,

after working on how to approximate 50 referent vinyl records including

45rpm, half-speed mastered vinyls, direct transfer from analog tape

Approved by Bernie Grundman, Jeremy Kipnis, Tim Paravicini...

MASTERING CHAIN RM32

Towards Master Quality

2020-2021

Revisiting sound due to proper limitations of some vinyls and digital format is the second goal 

Mastering chain ℝM³² surpasses previous ℝM work

Simply hear hidden aspects of music with more emotion

Some quality heard on analog master tape are now generated by ℝM³²

MASTERING CHAIN RM48

2022-2023

Mastering chain RM48 with settings adapted for unmastered stereo mix

got positive results after one year exploring some works of

Bernie Grundman, Tom Coyne, Tim Young, Chris Graham, John Davis

DIRECT FINAL D/A/D transfert

June2023

Our mastering chain deliver a 32 bit DXD matrix master

Not to lose sound quality when downconverting sampling rate and bit depth,

and keeping details, our direct final D/A/D transfert of the matrix can bring more naturalness

and soundfield 3D than digital can do in my experience

RootMaster-chain

Extended Dynamics

More Realistic, like 45s RPM records, RM can enhance the dynamic range,

reversing the effects of usual drastic compressions

Flexible Soundstage

A full sound is able to radiate beyond the area of the speakers

without removing the impact and focus of the center

RM can fill/empty the room and get you at an orchestral performance

Advanced Stereo Imaging

Left, center and right locations are wider and lighter

to generate more distinctive informations in the whole room

enabling a continuous and realistic spatial distribution

Sound Layers with 3D Transparency

Three dimensional enveloping sound, outstanding depth and clarity

are the most complex achievements

Digital can translate new acoustic spaces, the 'analog spirit'

Maximum Transient Fluidity

RM can improve transients and signal fluidity

through digital conversions up to DSD2048

and a technique to reduce the digital sounding aspects

'Intelligent' Balance

Human perception of frequencies/level changes is not linear

Spectrum balance and sound dynamic were elaborated

after psycho acoustic test and comparisons to live performances
