About us

Welcome to The Carvery your friendly one stop shop for all your vinyl and digital
mastering needs. The Carvery is based in the heart of Hackney in East London. Our
studio centres around a vintage Neumann VMS 70 which was originally installed in
the CBS studios in Nashville, Tennessee where a large quantity of the Motown
hits of the late 60s and 70s were cut.

Mastering

It is often thought that a mastered track is just a louder version of a mix, but in reality
it is much more. A good master should have good volume, balance, tone and
impact whilst still retaining good dynamics.
For all our masters we use a combination of vintage analogue signal processing
and the finest digital hardware and software.
Over the last six years we have been busy mastering and cutting records for some
of the finest independent artists in the UK and beyond.

Dubplates

Our dubplates are made from either a tough PVC compound or classic acetate
lacquers. Both enable us to produce dubs designed so that producers and DJs can get
short runs or one-off copies of their work. We cut a variety of weights and plates
sizes to fit our customers' needs.
Over the last four years we have cut many thousands of records in a variety of
music styles; from dubstep & jungle, reggae and soul to opera and the spoken word.
We will always cut our records as loud as is physically and sonically possible and
offer an automatic re-cut for anyone not 100% satisfied with the results

Pressings

As fellow musicians, DJs and record labels owners, we run our business from the
heart, with the aim of giving our clients the best in both price and quality. The vinyl
pressing plant we use for our manufacturing is in our opinion the best in Europe with
the most stringent quality control.
