What sets our mastering studio apart?

In the music world, there are musicians, producers, engineers and record labels -- all striving to create an excellent record. Different people have very different ideas about how to reach the goal, but one thing remains common, the audio fidelity must live up to the modern standard.  That standard is a magic that springs out of experimentation, new methods, classic methods, technology, experience... the list goes on. We understand what it takes to create the magic, and we pour our souls into achieving it for every album we receive.

Our mastering studio is about time-tested experience, in-depth resources and plenty of mastering magic! You're not just paying for a service, you're paying to make absolutely sure you sail over the final hurtle with strength. It requires an engineer with talent, passion, attention to detail and a deep, genuine interest in every individual recording. This really is the place -- our mastering studio's passion and dedication is extreme. Don't just take our word for it, examine the tremendous wealth of resources we have developed, including our new one-of-a-kind frequency chart poster that pays homage to the work of sound researchers from nearly a century ago.


How important is professional mastering?

The quality of an album's mastering engineering has been known to make or break record sales since the 1960s.   Professional mastering means so much more than merely setting your music to some technical standard. Low-level, mid-level and professional mastering services are completely different. The problem is that in the recording industry today, every studio out there claims to be "state-of-the-art" and "professional".

There are many tell-tale signs of studios that provide the kind of mastering that destroys careers and dreams. Most have small or dark pictures on their websites, so they do not have to prove their deceptive equipment lists, or their claims of well designed acoustics. They almost always have a guarantee, but they have no address listed -- this means they can simply ignore you when you are not satisfied. They often have wonderfully designed websites so they can appear to be a legitimate business while operating from their "state-of-the-art" home computer. They usually have no problem with listing major labels they have worked for, as they have simply made up the quotes! Many offer a low price because they give exactly what their customers pay for -- cheap, frustrating sound quality.
