INCRIVEL MUNDO STUDIO

The Incrivel Mundo Studio was created in 2005. It is Enrico De Paoli’s private room where he mixes and masters singles, CDs and DVDs.

The studio gathers the latest generation digital workstation system, working side by side with the most desired classic vintage analog designs in history. Multi-track audio groups leave the ProTools HD/Mac system and are converted using very high-grade Focusrite and Apogee 192KHz DACs, which are then fed into a Solid State Logic baby SuperAnalogue mixing desk, where they are then summed using one of the most respected summing designs in history. But before these mix groups are summed back together, each stereo pair is treated with classic analog NEVEs, APIs, AMEKs, MANLEYs, APHEXs, DRAWMER, dbx and the amazing FOCUSRITE ISAs before returning in stereo and being coverted back to digital domain. So, mixes and master, albeit done with all the qualities of a ProTools HD system, are treated and processed using the most respected and desired analog designs on the planet.

If you choose the Analog-Classic MASTER, your projetct that has been all done in any Digital Audio Workstation, will highly benefit from the analog sound of the classic studios in history.

The monitoring system (loudspeakers), which is the key in any recording studio, was not only carefully chosen, but also it is the same that Enrico has been using since 1996. As a result, the mixes and masters are done in an ultra-familiar, known-to-him sonic environment. The result is music sounding exactly as expected.

The files should be sent on the very same format of the original session. That is, if the it is a CD project, we recommend that the session is started off at 44.1KHz or multiples thereof, 88.2KHz or 176.4KHz. If it is a DVD project, the file format used to avoid further unnecessary conversions, should be 48KHz, and in case of high density audio, 96KHz or 192KHz. The chosen Bit Rate should always be 24 bits. But remember, if your session was not started using these settings, DO NOT perform any file conversion prior to sending for mixing or mastering.  The files can be sent via www.wetransfer.com, or via regular mail on DVD-data discs.

On the day scheduled for your project, you can be online with Enrico De Paoli, via FACETIME or SKYPE.

The sonic conception of the project will be debated prior to starting, and in case of mastering, the first mastered track will be sent to you, so you can listen to it on your own familiar environment. Once the track is approved, the following ones will be mastered to those same colors and style.
