HEAR MY CHAIN
ON YOUR TRACK

Seventeen years, one engineer, a hybrid analog chain in a treated Frankfurt room. Every project starts with a free test master of your own music — before you pay a cent.

One room. Two ways to work.

One room. Two ways to work.

Send me the track and I'll work on it with you. Or use the tools I developed from the same chain, in your own session.

Tell me what isn't working in the mix. I read and answer every message myself — info@get-that-sound.com

How it works

Test first. Pay only if it's right.

You never pay for something you haven't heard. Upload, listen on your own system, then decide.

01 / SEND

Upload your track

WAV or AIFF, no limiter on the bus, a reference link if you have one. Takes a minute.

Free
02 / LISTEN

Test master in Dropbox

Within 48 hours your track comes back through the full analog chain — in a shared Dropbox folder, as 24-bit WAV. Same engineer, same gear as paid work.

Free
03 / ORDER

Approve the quote, pay online

If it sounds right, I quote the project, you pay by card, and the full master lands in the same folder within 48–72 hours.

Start here · No card required

Free test master of your own music.

Your track through the full analog chain — delivered to a shared Dropbox folder as 24-bit WAV, usually within 48 hours. Tell me where it's going: club, streaming or vinyl.

Upload a stereo mix

The classic path: your finished stereo mix through the full analog chain. Free 60-second test master included, then quoted per project.

WAV / AIFF · 24-bit · no limiter on the bus

Upload your stems (.zip)

Put the aligned WAV or AIFF stems in one ZIP. Include a rough mix, one or two references and a short note about what is not working.

24-bit if possible · original sample rate · every stem starts at the same point · no limiter on the master bus · print creative effects you want to keep

I listen to every submission myself. Not sure what to export? Write to info@get-that-sound.com — quote and scope stay per project.

Ask Matt before you export →

Services · quoted per project

Pick what fits. Or just send the files.

Every master is done by ear, one project at a time — no batch processing, no algorithm. Started in minimal and tech house; today the room handles house, techno and afro house as much as electronica, ambient, singer-songwriter, pop, indie and hip-hop.

The Room

Outboard for tone, glue and weight.
Digital where it's more precise.

Every master passes through a hybrid chain: analog gear where it earns its place, precise digital tools where they do it better — including processors developed in-house and used on client work daily.

Monitoring and room are treated as part of the chain. What you hear in the test master is what the paid master is judged on — same converters, same monitors, same ears.

Matt Merty
The Engineer

Every master leaves this room
with my ears on it.

No junior engineer, no queue, no algorithm. Replies come from me. Started in minimal and tech house; seventeen years later the room handles house, techno and afro house as much as electronica, ambient, singer-songwriter, pop, indie and hip-hop.
