THE PROCESS

WHAT MASTERING
DOES

Mastering prepares your finished mix for release, so it competes with commercial records and translates everywhere it’s played.

Critical Listening

Your mix is assessed on reference monitors against tracks in your genre before anything is touched.

Tonal Balance

Precise EQ to even out the frequency spectrum so the track sounds right on headphones, cars and club systems.

Dynamics & Loudness

Compression and limiting to reach competitive loudness for streaming without crushing the life out of the track.

Stereo Image

Width and depth refined so the master feels big while staying solid in mono.

Stems (Stem Mastering)

Working from grouped stems gives finer control, fixing balance issues a stereo master can’t reach.

Delivery

Final files in Hi‑Res WAV, MP3 or Apple Digital Masters, checked and ready to distribute.

BEFORE & AFTER

HEAR THE
DIFFERENCE

Play the final mix, then the master. Switch at any point and it carries on from the same moment.
