We’d like to take a moment to congratulate a few of our mastering clients over recent news:

The Neighbourhood, who’ve scored a deal with BBC1 in the UK and are getting quite a bit of airplay (and with an EP out in March); local lads The Fearless Vampire Killers, who’ve had their single ‘For You and Me’ featured on the comeback US tv series 90210 (their debut album Batmania is also due for limited release on 12 inch vinyl); and The Orbweavers, who garnered a special commendation in the running for the Australian Music Prize with their acclaimed second album ‘Loom’, and having played sell-out shows in Melbourne to mesmerised audiences.

Also, a word for Owl Eyes & Gossling who did well in Triple J radio’s Hottest 100 as voted by listeners.

Once again – the team at Deluxe Mastering Melbourne thanks all of our valued clients for the music making…

Our congrats to The Bon Scotts – the Melbourne “folk-pop” act scored a 4 star review in Rolling Stone magazine for their second album ‘We Will All Die at the Hands of CGI’ (or simply ‘WWADATHOCGI…’), mastered by Adam Dempsey and out on Popboomerang Records.

Also worth checking out is the album’s cover, designed by Circal – a modern day ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ depicting a bunch of identities reflected of our times.

Adam Dempsey celebrates five years this week at Deluxe Mastering… and it coincides with ongoing momentum for vinyl releases being as strong as ever, with at least six projects in as many weeks all destined for vinyl including: Heirs, Plastic Palace Alice, Trappist Afterland, The Velocettes, Raoul McLay, and Pre Unit.

Vinyl LP & EP releases are obviously suiting a dedicated market and for promo purposes.

How to optimize results for your vinyl release and minimize any technical headaches/delays?

Basically for a little extra outlay at a mastering session for CD or digital release you can also leave with full res 24 bit Side A & B files, tweaked as needed (a separate pass), suitable for sending to lacquer cutting – sonically this can be much better than merely sending off a CD or 16 bit files and hoping for the best! See our vinyl page for more info.

Of course we can also give you 24 bit full res CD mastered files – a great insurance for future formats and for current FLAC (lossless) options (Bandcamp, etc).

Meanwhile Jack’s been working on the first of several upcoming podcasts with audio engineer Sam Hannan and producer Steve James – more to come!
