Master Your Heavy Sound: Feel It in Your Teeth
Your crushing riff — weighty, clear, unstoppable on vinyl, CD, or streaming. Jack Control forges underground heavy’s edge, turning mixes into forces that demand replays.
“You should feel the music not just in your soul, but also in your teeth.”
— Jack Control
Craving that impact? Quick fit:
• Heavy like metal / doom / hardcore?
• Mix polished and release-ready?
Yes to both?
Mastering with Maor Appelbaum : Beyond Heavy
Maor's collaboration with Jack Control delivers stunning results for vinyl records, CDs, and streaming services. His custom gear and proprietary techniques achieve unparalleled depth and clarity in sound. This is perfect for bands at the top of their game.
Before we explore how this process can elevate your mix, let's confirm it's a strong fit. Our analog approach excels with heavy genres like metal and doom, bringing the loudness, weight, and punch to rise above the competition. It works best for bands that are serious about recording quality and expect exceptional results.
Does your heavy mix have the foundation to hit that level? If it's polished, high-res, and primed for quick decisions, this collaborative process could amplify its impact—just like it has for labels like Peaceville and Century Media. Not every track aligns perfectly, and that's fine; we're selective to ensure mutual success.
