| Why Master? |
If you've ever
wondered why commercial recordings sound louder, fuller or punchier
than your own it could be because they've had the benefit of
professional mastering.
Mastering is the final stage of production sitting between mixing
and manufacture or distribution online. Bringing specialist
equipment and expertise a mastering engineer will ensure
that your record not only performs in terms of 'loudness',
but also has the right tonal
balance, stereo width, and depth of sound, creating a record
that flows from track to track and is engaging to listen
to. Crucially they bring a fresh pair of ears to your project and
understand the technical demands of the end format, whether that's
Audio CD, Vinyl or MP3 download.
Today the majority of music intended for release goes through some
form of mastering process and with more independent artists also
discovering the benefits, getting demos mastered is becoming widespread
too.
