I'm Mike Hinton, I have 30 year's experience in the industry, previously working for The Decca Recording Co. and The Exchange Mastering Studios. I set up MSTRD back in 2015 and have been working with some great artists and labels since.

MSTRD is a top class mastering facility located in London. We use both analogue and digital tools to achieve our mastering goals. Our analogue chain consists of an Avalon AD2055 EQ, Avalon’s VT 747 SP, DAV Electronics BG3 EQ, Maselec MLA-2 Compressor, DAV Electronics SIPP for stereo width and parallel processing. Digital hardware processing consists of WAVES L2 Ultramaximizer. I also have selection of software limiters, Maximizers, Clippers, Compressors and EQ's. I have two Lynx Hilo's, using one for D/A and the other for A/D duties. These are very transparent, and the routing is very versatile. The equipment I use on a particular track depends on what needs to be achieved in the mix. For monitoring I use a pair of modified B&W Matrix 801 S2, 3 Way Full Range Loudspeakers. Our mastering room is purpose built and acoustically treated to give a 20Hz - 20KHz frequency response making the listening experience very accurate.

As well as mastering audio, using our SADiE 6 DAW we can also compile EP's and album's and run off production masters such as WAV files with gaps and DDPI CD Masters. With DDPI CD Masters we have the option of encoding ISRC or CD TEXT as well.

I am Apple Digital Masters (Mastered For iTunes) certified and a member of the Music Producers Guild (MPG).

I hope to work with you soon!
