Universal Mastering Studios-West is a full service facility located in a well-appointed and secure building at the corner of Lankershim and Magnolia in Universal City, Los Angeles.
The Pro-Tools HD Suite is available to UMG’s family of labels and recently to the music community at large. The suite is operated by independent audio engineer Steve Holroyd (Counting Crowes, Meat Loaf, Linda Ronstadt). Steve 's love and familiarity with vintage analog recordings provides precision analogue multi-track transfers, formatting, recording, editing, mixing, and pre-mastering work that is necessary for both lacquer and commercial audio mastering.
Steve began his career at the famous Marquee Studios in London, working with the current big-name artists and producers. His credits include such legends as producer Glyn Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles), Barbara Streisand’s “Back to Broadway” (album with Al Schmidt), George Duke, Stanley Clark, BB King, Elvis Costello, Lyle Lovett, Linda Ronstadt, Green Day, ACDC, Boyz II Men, George Duke, Counting Crows, and Joe Satriani, to name just a few.
“The combination of Steve’s talents, Pro Tools plug-ins and a large collection of vintage outboard gear provides great advantages for our clients. We offer a highly creative and rewarding recording experience for artists, producers and managers,” says Paul West , Vice President of UMG Studio Operations.
Clients can now record, mix, edit and transfer between multi-track tape sources (including the ATR 124's). In conjunction with mastering, vinyl mastering and lacquer restoration services, Universal Mastering Studios west and east-coast facilities also offer a full array of other in-house production services, including CD-R duplication and secured electronic bi-directional audio file transfers to remote worldwide locations.
