Sound Mastering company incorporated on 26 July 2005. Currently based in Dunmow, Essex and run by David Blackman. The company offers mastering & e-mastering. Replication and duplication services are offered when acting as a broker.
Note: For releases earlier than 2005 consider Hiltongrove Multimedia. Releases dated later than 2005 could still be mastered by Hiltongrove Multimedia or Hilton Grove Studios, London, so release artwork should be checked.
Can also appear as:
- HG Mastering
- Hilton Grove Mastering
- Hilton Grove Mastering, London
- Hiltongrove Mastering Studios, London
- Hiltongrove and Hilton Grove (Can also be seen sometimes after 2009, but use with care as some releases may be using earlier sound masters.)
Their core business is 'Sound Mastering'. Unless explicitly stated on the release, add to the LCCN as Mastered At - Hiltongrove Mastering.
Only use this profile if the release states Hiltongrove Mastering, if it states Hiltongrove without the Mastering then consider the Hiltongrove Multimedia profile.
Hiltongrove Mastering will not use the HGCD codes, previously used by Hiltongrove Multimedia.
Do not use the Glass Mastered At or Pressed By roles for Hiltongrove Mastering. This function was carried out by a third party company.
The company purchased Hiltongrove Studio from Hiltongrove Multimedia to form Hiltongrove Mastering Limited in October 2005.
Initially they were based in East London, but in the beginning of 2012 they moved to their current location in Dunmow, Essex.
A new company logo was created circa 2009.
