Mastering

The finishing touch

The last stage in the process before your song is pressed to a CD

OK, so you have finished your recording and you are very happy with it. Maybe you recorded it is a professional studio or possibly at home. You paid attention to detail throughout the process, kept the noise low and the levels high, gave a great performance, and mixed it beautifully But it still doesn't sound as good as any CD you compare it to.....

This is what you need to do

Your track needs Mastered, the process that every piece of music goes prior to being pressed. This somewhat mystical process is simply the action of compressing, equalising, limiting and shaping the overall sound of your music to get the absolute best out of the recording.It is quite incredible the difference that can be made to any piece of music. The result is more definition, prescence and clarity, as well as making it as loud as it possibly can be without a hint of distortion. There is no hard and fast system to achieving the best end result, simply the application of High Quality Tools and an experienced and skilled pair of ears. From a WAV or AIF file (emailed or posted on CD) I can Master your songs usually within 3 days.
