CHECK FIT + SUBMIT MIX

Release-ready means:

This process shines when your mix is:

  • High-res (24-bit WAV), balanced, and not over-limited

  • Punchy, clear, and emotionally defined

  • Built for vinyl optimization or high-impact cross-platform translation



If your mix meets the above, this is where it becomes a finished record.

“Syv is one of the most clear, perfect-sounding albums I have ever heard…
The production is handled beautifully, making for one of the greatest-sounding black metal albums that will surely grace all fans’ record collections very soon. ”
— Ben Brown (Boolin Tunes)

“When Jack told me about the new partnership with Maor Appelbaum, I was all for it. Jack did his usual magic, and then Maor optimized it for vinyl with his custom-made gear, bringing out even more depth and clarity. This is a fine example of two entities getting together and doubling the quality of the finished product.”

Thomas Eriksen (MORK - Peaceville Records)

“Jack — I just walked around my front yard in the dark playing air guitar and making shapes the entire way through my first listen. This is so good I’m speechless. I could say a billion things but I wouldn’t know where to start… This is amazing, and we’re beyond stoked. Please tell Maor how grateful we are — each of you crushed this and it’s so much bigger than the sum of its parts now. Couldn’t be more appreciative.”
