Ears, experience, and perspective are more important than equipment. But we realize that many want to know about the facilities and equipment that can be brought to bear on their projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obsidian Sound is based around a hybrid digital\/analogue mastering studio (acoustic treatment and plan designed by Ethan Winer of Real Traps), which includes solid state and tube\/valve outboard gear, high-end AD\/DA conversion, and a mountain of high-end software tools. This palette can provide everything from intense, euphonic coloration to utter sonic transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
