The Last Hurdles
You think you're done after mixing, but then mastering comes along to humble you.
Getting the audio polished up for distribution across different platforms, codecs, and playback systems is its own challenge.
You need to ensure consistent volume levels, no clipping or distortion, and the right balance of frequencies.
It's the final quality check before your music gets unleashed to the world.
Screw this part up and even a great mix can sound like trash.
Polishing Your Mix
We use a network of high-skilled, super-dedicated mastering engineers to help you get your music ready to share with your audience.
Follow Us:
Album Sequencing
We can sequence an album's tracks for an optimal listening experience, seamlessly transitioning between songs. We also apply subtle processing to create a consistent sonic signature or "glue" that ties the album together as a cohesive body of work.
Professional-Grade Mastering Chain
Our mastering engineers utilise specialised, high-end equipment and software tailored for mastering. This dedicated mastering chain allows us to make critical decisions with precision and confidence.
Fresh, Objective Perspective
As the last set of ears on a project, our mastering engineers bring a fresh, unbiased perspective to the final mix. We can identify and address any remaining issues or imbalances, ensuring that the master meets industry standards and sounds its absolute best.
Loudness Optimisation
We can optimise your mix for consistent playback across various listening environments and systems. Whether it's mastering for vinyl, radio or streaming we will ensure that the final master has the appropriate loudness levels for its intended distribution channels.
