Smart DSP presents: ÐQ – Quality Label

Ð Quality - Audio Quality Label by Smart DSP

While old studios and some veteran techs with classic commercial schemes are facing difficult times for most, and that the trend is to home studios.

And because of the Loudness War, people working on uncalibrated and not full range monitoring systems, with sometimes really low quality tools inducing several issues; the use of inaccurate automated services / tools and so on; quality in music is compromised if not already lost on most records.
In order to encourage artists & technicians going towards modern industry standards while preserving the essence of music. We have decided, after many months of researchs and testing, to launch our own Quality Label: SDSP Quality Approved [ÐQ]

This Quality Label may be used and displayed by anyone as long as the labelled audio material is compliant to the ÐQ chart.
