Mastering is both a subjective and objective process. The mastering engineer listens objectively as one who has not heard the material before, and then recommends final adjustments that will enhance the listening experience for your audience. Each project is unique, and should be treated as such.
The goal is to give your audience a listening experience that fairly represents your artistic goals. You've created art, the mastering engineer assists in transitioning your art to an accessible product.
We accept a wide variety of media and file formats as source material. Output choices include a Red Book cd, DDP master disc, and a variety of archive or file options. Files for direct download are also available.
All masters are guaranteed to pass replication plant specifications for input media. We can help you choose a replicator, or communicate with the plants to resolve specific issues.
Supplemental services such as CD Text, Web encodes, compilations and more are all easily accomplished as part of the mastering process. If you don't need mastering, but would like to add any of these features to your catalog existing products give us a call.
