Mastering
Mastering is the process of taking the mixed track to the final stage of realisation. This usualy involves Equalisation, Compression and Limiting to make sure the track is rounded and loud enough to compete with other professional mixes whilst not sounding too squashed or affected by this processing. Some issues of noise and stereo problems can also be addressed at this stage.
Your mix should be sent without or with very little mix compression and especially no limiting in order to give the engineer the opportunity to correctly maximise your track.
This service costs €20 (approx $27) and takes a maximum of 3 days to complete from the receipt of the files.
It is usual for us to deal with whole album masters in order to govern sonic smoothness between different tracks. For instance, you may have some tracks that were recorded at different times and with different equipment. In the instance it may be neccesary to attempt to homogenise the tracks to lessen the difference that would otherwise be noticeable and undesirable.
An album (up to 15 tracks) cost €130 (approx $170) and takes a maximum of 7 days from the receipt of the files.
