Dub Studio has changed! We now have a completely new way of ordering, which gives more flexibility then ever. You can now add products and services to your cart, then carry on browsing and check out whenever you are ready. The prices shown on the site are for one side of a dub, but you can easily add a second side, or extra tracks - your cart will automatically update giving the total price. Bulk discounts are clearly shown but feel free to add products to your cart to see how much the final order will cost.

Shipping rates have also changed - instead of a flat fee they are now based on the Royal Mail system of price by weight and destination. This is part of Dub Studio's continued effort to be a truly international service.

We would also like to welcome Hazel to the team. She will be handling orders, files and bookings - giving Henry and Boris more time to focus on mastering and the technical side of things! Things might be a little bumpy at first, as we sort out the teething problems with the new system, so please let us know anything you think needs improving.

The Dub Studio Team - Henry, Boris and Hazel

Dub Studio is proud to feature one of its latest Mastering projects!

Stainage Records launches its free download offshoot – Stainage Off The Records, offering 2 tracks each month produced in its members' secret audio labs in Belgium.

'What you see and what you hear it's for real', you've been warned. Dense cinematic atmos and piercing basslines confront with razor sharp beats setting the tone for a steppy trip through Grimelock's sonic view of 'Dog Politik'.

The story is continued with 'Gorilla March' alongside Alchemyst. Dub heavy pads and stabs coming straight from a big rave flashback that echoes and glows until the bass drops and the beats kick in pumping out the air out of your lungs.

Not a bit of cheese in this pair but pure merciless frequency flows ready to get into your mind and take you far away. Off the records...

There was only one point between 1st (Jeppa) and 2nd (Furious P) places which just goes to show how tight the competition was between these two!

Following on from the last entry on mastering dubs, I found this interesting excerpt from the Rane Notes series: Setting Sound System Level Controls:

"For sound systems, the maximum loudness level is what is achievable before acoustic feedback, or system squeal begins. While the minimum level is

I get asked this question a lot, and there is some information on the site about mastering but I thought it would be interesting to share a few thoughts about it here.

A dubplate is not technically a master. Its a one-off, more like a pre-master or a work in progress. I do monitor each track before

A client asked me this question today, and I thought I might as well post my answer up as I had a moment of clarity and it seemed like a shame to share it with just one person:

When it comes to quality, dub plates don't always sound better, you get good dubs and bad dubs. Dubs often sound good
