What is Mastering?

​

Through carefully applied compression and equalization, mastering is the process of sonically balancing and creatively enhancing your final mixes.  When performed correctly it can take your mixes to the next level adding punch, clarity, and volume while preserving the dynamic contour of each track.  When mastering a complete album, care is taken to ensure that the overall color  (equalization) and feel (volume) are consistent from track to track.  Excess silence is removed and fades are adjusted where needed so that the flow from song to song is natural and pleasing.

Why do I need it?

​

If you want your mixes to compete with what is currently on the market, chances are you’ll need to have it mastered.  Through the use of high-end Mastering hardware and software and years of experience, we can ensure that your mixes will be enhanced to their fullest potential.
