Welcome to Superdisc Mastering
Superdisc uses and teaches Motown Heritage Mastering Technique developed by Bob Dennis and used on over 30 gold-awarded music releases.
Bob is continuously applying and improving the technique for the current digital formats that we use in audio today and teaches this technique through Recording Institute of Detroit classes, articles and texts on mastering, through guest appearances at seminars, and through online educational forums.
The Best Person To Master Your Product
Superdisc believes that the "best" person to master your product is "you."
You are the one who is communicating through music.
You know what's important about the sound you want and what is less important.
You know what you were trying to achieve in the production and where you hit or missed the mark in recording and mixing.
The outside "mastering engineer" can only guess.
You may be the best person, but you may be untrained in the mastering process or have difficulty in understanding how to master your specific product.
Here's where Superdisc Mastering comes into play. Our goal is to show you how to get the best sound on your final product through mastering. You may think this is an impossible task, but Superdisc knows that it doesn't have to take that long for you to "beat out" the quality of most of the offered "mastering" in the industry.
You can achieve a "good mastering" quality quickly, and if you keep at it, you can eventually achieve "great mastering" quality.
