Our Process

A recorded work is a window into the artist's passion—and an act of designing the future.

01

Recording

The best take makes the best result.

Every great sound begins with a thorough recording process. Recording is not simply capturing sound—it is the stage where an artist's identity and the direction of the song are clearly realized. We set the sonic goals and work with the artist to define the emotion and character the song should convey.

Based on this foundation, we support artists in delivering their best performance and securing the finest takes. Recorded takes are then refined through precise editing to achieve the highest quality.

02

Mixing

Breathing life into sound.

During the mixing process, sound is sculpted with greater precision. Through hybrid mixing that combines the best of digital and analog, we bring out the texture of each sound and highlight every element to maximize the song's narrative.

Leveraging diverse outboard gear and precise digital processing, we craft a powerful impact with a well-balanced sound. We optimize the balance between tracks, adjust spatial depth, and drive the mix to amplify the intended emotion of the song.

We value the process of continuous feedback with artists to achieve the best possible result.

03

Mastering

The completion of the Garlicton sound.

Mastering is the final stage of refining the work and ensuring the best sound across all listening environments. Based on analog outboard equipment and a premium monitoring setup, we deliver mastering that maximizes sonic impact while preserving the music's dynamics.

From powerful full-range sound to delicate dynamic control, we tailor mastering to suit various styles and ensure balanced sound across different playback environments.

Final masters are delivered in various formats including DDP files and WAV masters.

04

Producing

Comprehensive producing from song direction to arrangement and sound design.
