ABOUT MASTERING
Mastering is the final, crucial step of the music production process. It involves the fine-tuning of the levels and equalisation of a track, ensuring that your track sounds great across multiple sound systems - from small speakers and laptops, to massive clubs, TVs and headphones.
As your mastering engineer, I will ensure that your track sounds the best it can possibly be by enhancing the sonic elements of your mix to create a final track that sounds smooth, professional and polished. Mastering, although it can't fix a bad mix, is often referred to as the 'magic fairy dust' that can bring an average mix to life.
Importantly, I also ensure that your track meets commercial loudness requirements and is optimised for playback on various streaming platforms. This ensures that your track is commercially 'loud' without any unwanted side effects such as digital clipping.
Aside from this, I can also clean up unwanted noises in your mix, such as hiss, clicks, pops, and sibilance to ensure that your mix sounds as clean as possible.
If you need an album or EP mastering, then I ensure that the volume of all album tracks are balanced and also arrange your tracks into the right order, ensuring there is the appropriate amount of space between each track, as well as applying track markers and track/album data and providing the correct files for CD or Vinyl replication.
