Service 04

The final polish to sound like a release.

Mastering reviews the finished mix and gets it ready for the agreed destination: streaming platforms, physical release or anything else. It doesn't fix a bad mix; it takes a good one to its best version.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What if my mix has problems?

We'll tell you plainly. Sometimes it's better to adjust the mix before mastering; hiding problems in the master doesn't help.

Do you deliver versions for different platforms?

Additional versions and formats are agreed in the quote.

Can I master a full album?

Yes. We quote per song and can take care of consistency across tracks.
