History
Conduction was started by Jay Fee in 2007. Jay started doing mastering for his peers at Sound Of One Hand studios in the early 2000's. The demand steadily increased organically as word spread. A studio within the facility was converted and equipment purchased to seriously pursue the craft. When Jay left Sound of One Hand in 2007 he started Conduction with the goal of providing high end mastering to independent musicians. Since then hundreds of projects have been mastered and a world class signal path made up many custom pieces of equipment have been assembled into a studio dedicated to mastering.
