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 match
the original master analog recording sound and recently also work to master stereo mix
Adapt the main process to current unmastered mix with adjusted settings
provides new sonic abilities impact
Positive A/B tests at Audio Show in L.A, France, Poland, Germany, Budapest, China and from producers, international artists, mastering engineers reveal listeners achieve a much better musical experience than usually
1 Bring digital masters quality of great mastered vinyl records
2 Revisit actual mastering with more naturalness in sound
3 Master stereo mix with new compression, EQ, center focus
2017-2018
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 in June 2018

Revisiting sound due to proper limitations of some vinyls and digital format is the second goal
Mastering chain ℝM³² surpasses previous ℝM. Hear hidden aspects of music with more emotion
Some quality heard on analog master tape are now generated by ℝM³²
Approved by Jeremy Kipnis, Tim Paravicini
2021-2022
Mastering chain ℝM⁴⁸ with settings adapted for unmastered stereo mix
got positive results after two year exploring some works of
Bernie Grundman, Tom Coyne, Tim Young, Chris Graham, John Davis
With normal settings, ℝM⁴⁸ is surpassing ℝM³² anyway

Most achieved digital chain only by computing
More accurate ultrasonic response and equalizers
Better balance and more details

Aug2023
Our mastering chain delivers a 32 bit DXD matrix from a full digital processing
Not to lose sound quality when downconverting sampling rate and bit depth,
our direct final D/A/D transfert of that matrix keeps details, adds more naturalness and 3D soundstage
Stream MASTERING CHAIN HYBRID ℝM⁴⁸
Extended Dynamics
More Realistic, like 45s RPM records, RM can enhance the dynamic range,
lessening 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 leads you at an orchestral performance
Advanced Stereo Imaging
Left, center and right locations are wider and lighter
to generate more distinctive informations in the space
enabling a continuous and realistic sound distribution
3D Transparency Sound Layers
Three dimensional enveloping sound, extended depth and clarity
are the most complex achievements
RM can translate new acoustic spaces, the 'analog spirit'
Maximum Transient Fluidity
RM improves 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
