VLM helps independent record labels and
The name Violet Lantern Mastering / VLM represents where this 'legacy' started, at an establishment that became local legend in Dana Point, California. Founded in 2002 by Wes 'The Mes' Osborne, VLM surfaced from the name of the street where the studio started and was built, historically known as 'The Street Of Violet Lantern', located in the very heart of the now somewhat infamous 'Lantern District'.
Within the name lies symbology with the color violet as well, which not only represents one of the colors of noise, known as violet noise, but is also considered one of the strongest auras in the aurascope, signifying intuition, leadership, peace and comfort.
In the years that have passed since it's inception, VLM has followed this intuition to become a go-to mastering suite for several popular labels and artists from around the world, and represents a body of work encompassing years of amazing releases. A consummate engineer, Wes has proven he has the ear, knowledge and experience that have shown time and time again.
