What is Mastering?
Mastering is the final stage of any complete audio production. Mastering will bring out the full potential of your tracks and allow them to compete with major commercial releases. Each project requires a unique mix of tools and procedures, but the mastering process typically includes:
-EQ
-Compression
-Multi-band Compression
-De-essing
-Limiting
-Phase Correction
-Noise Reduction
-Stereo Width Enhancement
-Level Maximization
-Track Spacing
-Fades
What kind of turnaround time can be expected?
Generally, turnaround time is 2-3 days plus shipping time. Nonetheless, the waiting time can vary depending on the amount of time your project requires. Please contact us for a turnaround estimate.
How loud should the mix be?
Peaks in the area of -4 dB are ideal. Most mixing engineers will shoot for this range, which allows the mastering engineer some headroom and avoids distortion.
