Before / after, level-matched

Louder is cheating.

Before and after play at the same loudness, so you hear what the master changes: the kick, the low end, the space. Loud is fine. Flat is not.

Example · Industrial Techno Played at equal level · LUFS values follow with the audio
Audio examples follow once the artists have cleared them.

Mastered by someone who has played the big stages.

Too much energy, too little room. Lars Peter knows that problem from both sides of the speakers.

first master
2008

On stage as Antagon and as -Z- (alpha & antagon), from Boom in Portugal to tours through the USA, Mexico and India.

Before the synths there was a bass guitar and a death metal band. Psytrance came in 1996, the first master in 2008.

Interzone is two people and one studio. Lars Peter masters, André Szigethy produces and runs the webradio. You always talk to the engineer who masters your track.

Before we master, we listen like a producer.

If something in the mix holds your track back, you hear it from us first. Raw productions stay raw.

Made for where your music lives

Streaming

Loud enough to stand next to the big releases. Or exactly as quiet as you mixed it, if that is what the music needs.

Club and PA

Low end that holds on a big system. Checked by someone who has played 100+ shows on them.

Vinyl

A separate premaster with controlled bass and sibilance, ready for the cutting engineer.

CD and DDP

Pressing-ready image with ISRC codes and track gaps, so your album plays as one piece.

Psytrance, Techno, Metal, Ambient & Darkwave, pop. And whatever sits in between.

The studio and the chain

Mostly digital, analog where it earns its place. One engineer, one measured studio, ATC monitoring.
