"We've been using SADiE for a long time and have moved through a number of software versions," says Michael Bishop. "Currently we use our two SADiE DSD/PCM-8 systems for final mixing and mastering of projects for SACD (stereo & surround), CD and download release. The artists we work with maintain a high visibility on the world stage and their releases receive a lot of scrutiny from the music press, reviewers and listeners alike. We rely on SADiE workstations to maintain the highest audio integrity throughout the mixing and mastering process."
