WHAT IS MASTERING
Mastering is the final step in the audio production process, where the recorded and mixed tracks are optimized for distribution across all listening platforms. The goal of mastering is to ensure that the sound quality is balanced, consistent, and polished, making it ready for release whether it's on streaming services, vinyl, CDs, or other formats.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
KEY ASPECTS OF
MASTERING
Audio Enhancement: This involves adjusting the tonal balance of the track, equalizing frequencies, and enhancing the overall clarity. It ensures that no element (like vocals or bass) is too overpowering or too faint.
Dynamic Range Control: Mastering helps manage the dynamics (the difference between the softest and loudest parts of a song) by using tools like compression and limiting to prevent distortion and ensure the track plays at an optimal volume level.
Format Preparation: Mastering involves preparing the final audio files in various formats, such as WAV, MP3, or formats required for vinyl or CDs, to suit different platforms and media.
Consistency Across Tracks: For albums or EPs, mastering ensures that all songs have a uniform sound quality and volume level, so they flow smoothly from one to the next.
Noise Reduction and Final Polishing: During mastering, subtle unwanted sounds (like hiss or hum) are removed, and a final polish is applied to give the track a professional finish.
