Alex set out to incorporate world-class signal processing hardware into the mastering chain. Along with friends, he rigorously tested a plethora of equipment and paid close attention to how each individual piece of equipment affected the audio signal.

 

The Indalo Mastering chain uses a range of digital and analogue hardware made by the likes of PrismSound, Weiss Engineering, Looptrotter Audio Engineering and Lynx Studio Technology.

​

Ears are undeniably the most important tool in the mastering chain. But with experienced hearing, this hardware enables Alex to enhance your music in ways that he feels are not possible when using plug-ins alone or working only in the digital audio workstation environment.
