About Crystalsound Mastering


Crystal Sound Mastering is a nicely built complex based in Yorkshire, Leeds; we offer an Industry standard CD mastering service and a remix facility to all the local musicians, songwriters, bands and DJs requiring a place to have their material mastered in a professional manner.

Vinyl Records, Cassette Tapes and Video Transfers.

We also transfer mini disks to CD,45s, 33 LP's, 78s vinyl records to CD and any old cassette tapes to CD and video from various camcorder formats such as mini DV, Hi 8, and VHS can also be transferred to DVD at Crystal sound mastering.

One hallmark of pro mixes is that they sound great in mono. This is important for songs that will be played on FM radio.

Remember the mastering engineer has fresh, experienced ears. By the time the mixes are done, everyone involved is fried. It's tough to keep a true perspective after you've heard a mix 50 times or more. A new outlook, a new set of listening skills - attuned to the complete presentation rather than the detail of the mixes - can make a huge difference.

Richard Breese
Bingley
Michael transferred an old unique recording on a 78rpm record to CD and mp3 for us. The result was far better than we anticipated given that it was recorded in 1949. We found Michael to be very approachable and professional and honest with his opinions as to what he might be able to achieve for us. He was also prompt with his communication.
Response : Many thanks Richard for a great review.

Michael was easily contactable and helpful. He transferred an old and damaged 78 inch for me and I am delighted with the result.
Edward Aveyard
Michael digitised some 78RPM gramophones for me previously and did a good job. I came back to him recently, to get a C90 cassette digitised. He is always efficient and with a eye for precision. He plans out the work and gives you an accurate quote for how much it will cost. He is very good value for money. He is also approachable and knowledgeable about the recording industry.

Michael at Crystal Sound did a great job converting my vinyl record to a digital file. Highly recommend!

Michael was friendly and helpful. I had a C90 cassette tape and two acetate records produced in the 1950’s that I wanted digitising. Within a week I had all the tracks on CD’s and a link to download all the tracks onto my PC - which worked perfectly. Have no hesitation recommending.

I would highly recommend using Michael Cruise. He is very knowledgeable about sound recordings and likes to get into details about the work. My job was the digitisation of gramophone records (78s) and a couple of LPs. I had never seen a 78 before. He digitised one for free, to check that I would be happy with the service. This gave me confidence that he was an honest man, who I could trust. He then quoted me a price for the full job and I went ahead. He was very efficient and kept me informed throughout. He is also friendly and talkative.

I had a very old tape with songs sang and recorded by my daughter (recently diseased) at home - the quality was far from satisfactory, so the record needed a skilful mastering of sound and re-recording to wav format. I am very pleased with the results and appreciate the afford which Michael Cruise had to apply while working on the sound mastering. Another job asked to do was transferring an old video to DVD and that was dome promptly and with good quality too. Many thanks.

I needed some vinyl tracks digitising and with Michaels advice and assistance we did the job quickly. Great value for money.

I enquired about having some records that were sent between my grandparents during WW2 converted to an mp3. Being so old, they were in a state of disrepair and I wasn't sure if any they would be salvageable to convert at all. Michael managed to convert some clips from each disc, which I could then send to my dad so he could hear his dad's voice again after many years. Amazing service and value; very happy with the results and Michael was lovely and genuine to talk to, knowledgeable and very prompt in getting back to enquiries and with the work.

Transfer of much loved vinyl with rare tracks, to cd. Wish I'd done this sooner- excellent quality, thoughtfully done- think that Michael enhanced the sound slightly (not sure of technical details). Also received file to download which increases listening options, and a copy of the album cover. Work was carried out quickly - I had CD 2days later. Would definitely use this service again. .

Micheal at Crystalsound mastering transferred my record onto a CD. He was very helpful during the process and the transfer was completed very promptly. He has also sent me an electronic copy of the album as well.

I found Crystalsound Mastering on the internet having found a 60 year old cassette of my grandparents' Golding Wedding celebrations. I was sure I had lost this and over the years thought quite often about it. I telephoned the company and arranged to see Michael Cruise who said he could make a CD from the old cassette. Within two days I collected the CD and he also sent me an MP3. I cannot stress how professional the company is and how satisfied I am with the service I received. I would recommend this company to anyone in the same position as I was.

Three vinyl LPs have been transposed onto CD's. The LPS are now unavailable and therefore very precious to the owner. The CDs that were produced by Crystalsound Mastering were of a very high standard, which sounded 'cleaner' and sharper that the original- Brilliant. Michael took only two to three days to carry out the work and was always helpful and interested in the project.

We only wanted an old single transferred to CD but obviously no job is too small and I never felt I was wasting Michael's time. The price was surprisingly cheap and the job was completed in less than 24 hours. Great friendly, personal service. I would definitely recommend Crystalsound to a friend.
