Glenn Schick Mastering, one of the Southeast’s digital and analog audio mastering facilities, has purchased and installed a SADiE DSD8multichannel digital audio mastering system, adding to the studio's two existing SADiE ARTEMiS digital audio workstations. The system will be installed in the mastering house's new facility, currently in its design phase and scheduled to launch next year.

"Going with the SADiE DSD8 was a natural progression for us," said Glenn Schick, president and chief mastering engineer of Glenn Schick Mastering. "We were already using the SADiE ARTEMiS system, which we absolutely love. They are simply the most pain-free digital audio workstations ever made, and SADiE’s great tech support is another reason to stay with SADIE. With the addition of the DSD8, the range of services we can offer clients increases significantly." Included in these services is the ability to specifically master for the SACD format. Glenn Schick Mastering hosted its first SACD mastering session over the summer for hip hop artist Ludacris. The new Ludacris 5.1 SACD—mixed by Jeff Glixman and mastered with the SADiE DSD8, Dynaudio AIR system and Prism ADA-8, among other new DSD technologies—will be released on Def Jam South/Universal.

"The DSD8 can let us work in a variety of audio formats, including DVD-Audio when we interface it with the MLP encoder, as well as straight Red Book CD audio," Schick noted. "It’s that kind of versatility and power that gives the DSD8 so much value. We’ve been working with SADiE systems for a long time and we expect to do so for a long time to come."
