What Steps Do You Take In The Mastering Process? | Print |  E-mail

We're not going to get into great detail, but we will cover the main points.

Here's What Our Full Mastering Process Entails:

1. We evaluate your songs.

2. If found, we'll let you know of any major flaws in your mixes.  It's your option to correct them and upload new song files.  Or we can just work with the original song files and make them sound the best they can.

3. We apply proper EQ (boost and cut), compression, de'ssing, noise reduction, bass enhancement, proper balance, stereo width, ambiance, spectral enhancement and a level maximizing boost - based on the genre of your music.  This is done on a song by song basis.

4. Your song is then reviewed in a car, on an Ipod, and on a boombox.  Notes are taken for each medium and adjustments are made to maximize your performance on each one.  This is an added bonus that no other company charging under $100 per song will provide.  I can just about guarantee this.

5. Your songs are now initially mastered.

6. The next day we open the song files back up and listen to them again with fresh ears.  You songs then get a final tweak and are finally finished.  This is yet another added bonus no other company will provide.

7. Lastly, we work with you on any preference adjustments you would like us to make on your songs.  One adjustment per song is free of charge.

Why do we provide a few added free bonuses that no other companies do?  Because they are necessary for your music to sound the best it can.  And that's our goal!
