Mixed by me and Steve Berkowitz at Bass Hit Recording, NYC, co-produced by Steve Berkowitz, Richard Siedel, and Michael Cuscuna, and mastered exquisitely by Mark Wilder at Sony Battery Mastering.

Dave Darlington 🎤👂
When it came to mastering the album, a dear friend of Max' gave him the great advice "Check out who mastered your favorite jazz albums!" So we did, and we found a delightfully smiling man, called Dave.
Dave is a real master of his craft.
The GRAMMY-winning recording, mixing and mastering engineer worked with some of our favorite artists, such as Ambrose Akinmusire, Sting, Esperanza Spalding, or the Austrian drummer Peter Kronreif. (the list of people he worked with is long, and at one point it says "Wayne Shorter"...)
We reached out to him, and he was happy to work with us on the album.
4 days after we sent the files to Bass Hit Studios, they already came back and what we heard made us so happy.
We hope all of you check out our album "II", and hear Dave's incredible work.
Hope it will make you happy as is made us happy!
Thanks Dave 🖤🖤🖤

Congratulations to my dear friend Brian Lynch! Mixed and mastered at Bass Hit!

Mr Bongo
Back in the day....MAW!
During the compilation of our 30 year memories Dave Bongo unearthed a dusty VHS tape and discovered something very special… unseen footage of the Masters At Work at their NYC studio in the 90s!
In 1996 we had the privilege of commissioning remixes for Amtosfear’s anthemic ‘Dancin’ In Outer Space’. We called upon the legendary MAW and Dave was lucky enough to drop in on some of the sessions at Dungeon Tape (Brooklyn), and the Battery Studios NYC.
He captured some of the studio vibes during the making of what would become a classic in its own right.

"I gotta tell you, especially for rock, those drums just sat up straight in the chair; it’s unbelievable. They have this great feature that once they’re aligned then you can stagger, like you can take your room mics and move them one series of waves back, which gives you that kind of pre-delay thing which is awesome. So I’m completely addicted to that, like before I even listen to the drums I put it on."
- Legendary engineer Dave Darlington on Auto-Align

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed their sonic creativity to create distinct and user-friendly presets for our new plugin, Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain.
Presets can be a perfect way to not just find a sound easily but to also learn more about the capabilities of the plugin too. They can also give you an insight into the sound of the person who made them too. So we urge you to experiment and explore the sounds created by everyone listed below for Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain. We will be adding even more presets for the next update too!

Congratulations to my friends who came through Bass Hit on their way to the Grammys!
Category 44. Best Tropical Latin Album-Doug Beavers-"The Art of the Arrangement"
Master trombonist Doug Beavers assembled a cast of outstanding arrangers, players, soloists and vocalists for this set. Mixed and mastered at Bass Hit. Hey Doug, more congas?
Category 62. Best Instrumental Composition-The Le Boeuf Brothers and Jack Quartet-"Alkaline" from the album "Imaginist"
This is one of Pascal Le Boeuf's contributions to the album created with his brother Remy Le Boeuf, mixed and mastered at Bass Hit. It really is an incredible composition!
Category 71. Best Remix Recording-Loleatta Holloway-"Can't Let You Go" Louie Vega Remix.
This nomination is for Louie Vega and his remix which is really slammin'!
The original was done at Bass Hit produced by Yvonne Turner with amazing tracks by Alan Friedman. Yvonne, aren't you glad we were able to get that vocal off the 2" tape before it disintegrated? Loleatta never sounded better!
Good luck you all!
