What is mastering?

Mastering is the final step of polishing your music to allow the sound to translate optimally into the physical and digital worlds, like club dancefloors and streaming platforms.

The process involves a careful blend of technical expertise and artistic finesse. 

What to expect?

In my studio, I use critical listening combined with a range of basic and specialist tools to analyse your music. I understand the importance of preserving the integrity of your sound while enhancing its overall quality to achieve a balanced, clear, and loud master.

Whether working on a high-energy dance anthem, deep hypnotic soundscapes or raw bouncy groove, I will ensure that your music sounds its best and is ready for the world to hear. 

I take pride in my friendly and professional approach, ensuring that your creative vision is at the forefront of the process. Your music is important, and it's my job to help you achieve your artistic goals.

[Optional] Video overview

I can provide you with an in-depth video explaining the processing done to your music and the reasoning behind it. This will give you valuable feedback to help prevent the same issues in the future and enhance your overal quality of pre-masters.

[Optional] Pre-Master Mix Consultation

For optimal mastering results, you can get advice on your mix before the mastering begins. You'll get a list of clear actions that will adjust your mix and maximise the clarity, balance and loudness of the final master.

Delivery time

The masters are usually completed within 7 days, unless a large number of tracks is requested.

How to send your pre-master file

1. Make sure there is no compression, limiting or clipping on the master channel

2. Leave headroom. The loudest part of the track has to be below -3db.

3. Export as .WAV, 24 bit depth and no-dither

*If you have a self-master you'd like me to use as a reference for your final desired sound, please include it alongside the pre-master.
