What is mastering?
Hear for yourself
Raw recording
This is the audio capturing process. Getting all of your ideas “on paper.” Nothing is mixed, but everything is recorded.
Final mix
This is getting the mix just right, concentrating on each individual track with levels, processing, panning, and effects.
Final Master
This is the crucial stage that brings your mix to life and sets your mix at a level of professionalism that stands up to the industry giants.

Our Core values
Human
No robots. No algorithms. No automation. We almost can’t believe that this is a “feature” of ours. Everyone knows music is a creative process that requires soul and spirit. We stand firm that every master you receive will be treated by a Grammy Winning Mastering Engineer. You’re really going to trust a robot (lol) to take care of your baby?
Fast
Because we have multiple engineers from 3 different time zones, we are able to provide ridiculously fast turnaround time for you. Grammy Winning Quality, without compromising on client turnaround time. We also have a full time operations manager to take care of you. We are literally sitting at our mastering desk waiting to master your music.
Analog
No iZotope. No plug-ins. Real, industry standard, top quality outboard gear that still makes us question why in the world we are such gear heads. Oh right, because we care about quality! Every master will be run through our analog mastering chain, finished to tape. Even the free samples. For real.
Affordable
We used to charge an arm and a leg for mastering. Not anymore. We are just a bit more expensive than a stupid robot, except you’re getting platinum record selling engineers for a fraction of the cost. We make enough money mastering for film, radio, and major label artists…we figured we’d hook you up.
Professional
10,000+ songs mastered. Grammys left and right. Major label clientele. Industry standard quality. Our chief engineer is the founder of Mastering.com for goodness sake. We will never settle for anything less than professional grade loudness, quality, sonic, and dynamic clarity.
