Here are Vic's references:
Studio & Gear
Victors mastering workflow is based on a hybrid setup that combines high-end analog equipment, transparent converters, and top-tier plugins. His monitoring chain is centered around Dutch & Dutch 8c speakers, Audeze MM-500 headphones, and a carefully treated acoustic environment designed for precise and reliable critical listening.
"I work in a hybrid setup with just a few carefully chosen pieces of analog hardware, but with a truly high-end monitoring system. The goal is to keep a clean, efficient workflow while relying on extremely accurate monitoring to make precise and confident decisions."
