Mixing, Mastering & Audio Restoration
Lyrebird Sound is home to Damian Schwartz — a mixing and mastering engineer and producer, based in Madrid.
Lyrebird Sound offers professional mixing, mastering, and audio post-production services, with a focus on independent music, film, and contemporary art projects.
We also specialize in analog-to-digital transfer and restoration, preserving archival recordings with care and fidelity. The studio combines high-end analog gear with digital precision, and is currently developing in-house vinyl cutting services through a fully rebuilt Scully 601 lathe.
