We are experienced in stereo digital audio mastering, and seeking to work with musicians and studios who wish to have a professional sound. Our experience is mainly in rock, although we are open to other genres, please sample our Portfolio for a better understanding. Our mastering will provide the following:
- Spectral Processing - give a full, "punchy" sound and remove problem resonant frequencies.
- Level Adjustments - professional level final output and consistency.
- Digital Editing - cleaning up track beginnings and endings, as well as fade in/out, and transitions as requested.
- Noise Removal - removing hiss, pops, cracks, etc.
- Stereo Imaging - ensure proper spatial placement and translation into mono.
- Outside expertise - provide fresh perspective and guarantee consistent sound on all systems.
In order to begin the process, please provide digital audio files with absolutely no effects or normalization on the main bus (Please also read our other final mix recommendations), as well as a list example popular artist(s) and/or album(s) having a sound to your liking in your own style. Include any other notes which you believe could be benifical as well. The following input file formats will be accepted:
- WAVE files
- FLAC
- Monkey's Audio
- Apple AIFF files and Apple Lossless (in iTunes)
- NeXT/Sun files
- Other Lossless Formats (IMA ADPCM, u-law, A-law, DEC, Amiga IFF/8SVX, Sphere NIST, Raw PCM Data, Paris, and others as arranged upon request)
Files must be at least 44.1Khz/16 bit, although 44.1Khz/24 bit preferred. Please, no MP3s, or other lossy compressed formats. For delivery of this source material, there are several methods available:
