STL - Sound Theory Lab 100% analog mixing and mastering service. I make your track professional sounding ready to get signed by labels. I also compose film and background music.

Further I offer voice overs in different languages (US, German, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese etc.). ABOUT STL:
• When it comes to mixing & mastering what counts is experience. I have 30 years experience in music production (my tracks appeared on over 1 million records) and live performance.
• When it comes to making a track pro & major sounding what counts is classic analog hardware. I use orig

inal API, SSL, Neve, UA, Pultec, Chandler Limited EQs & comps for mixing with best available converters (i.e., PrismSound, Mytek).
• I carefully match the character of my outboard EQs & compressors to the character of your specific stems (i.e., API for guitars, SSL for drums, Neve for vocals...) and I use original SSL G COMP hardware for buss compression.
• So how does it work? I basically RE-RECORD ("printing") all your stems through my analog hardware! Yes, it's more work for me, but the results are amazing. For orderings please visit my FIVERR profile: https://www.fiverr.com/oliverwagner875
