Digital Source. Early Stage Identification.

3rd i’s source Mastering services focus on eliminating irregularities at the earliest stage. Before a source mastering company finalizes the transfer from analog to digital, we step in as an independent, objective consultant to ensure that their work is consistent and error free.
