Tangerine Mastering finishes a busy year with planed expansion
of the physical facility and its capabilities. The studio is acquiring
an adjacent space, which will double the actual studio footprint and
improve workflow throughout the facility. The end of year workload
exceeded the facilities capabilities and forced the offsite outsourcing
of some non-critical production and all back office staffing and tasks.
The physical expansion will facilitate the opening of "The Analog Lab
at Tangerine” which will include facilities to cut our lacquers and
acetates on a newly acquired classic Neumann VMS70 lathe, with an
original Neumann console. The new expansion will also include a Fisher
Scientific tape baking oven and new restoration equipment. The Analog
Lab will also have multiple formats of 2 track tape machines and a 17"
transcription turntable with speeds from 16 RPM to 98RPM which will
allow the handling of all disk transfer including half speed mastering.
Our goal is to be able to handle all aspects of restoration and
reissue of historic and modern music in one facility. The Analog lab
will have a new mastering setup, which will be powered by Tangerines
second PYRAMIX system, which is being purchased and installed by
Strassberg Associates in NYC.
Tangerine Mastering was designed by the famed acoustician John Storyk from the
Walters Storyk Design Group, who brought a wealth of hands-on experience to the
critical mastering process. Our objective, working closely with John Storyk, was to
present design solutions that ensure precise acoustical performance. We provide
innovative solutions and ergonomic aesthetics, which combine the latest audio
technology within a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, creatively stimulating
environment. We have combined the latest digital workstations and processors with
classic gear, such as the legendary Abbey Road EMI Mastering Chain, Pultec and SPL
equalizers, plus NTP compressors. The working environment at TANGERINE MASTERING
combines close proximity to midtown Manhattan with an artist-run production arts
complex that also houses sound stages, recording studios, post-production suites,
indie record companies and college-radio promoters. We strive to offer a relaxed
professional musical environment that enhances the final product. CALL TANGERINE
