Mastering procedure

Audio CD Mastering Procedure

Our mastering process is definitely up there with the top audio cd mastering studios in the music industry. We use a Pro-Tools HD system utilizing high end A/D D/A converters. We run audio through our Manley Massive Passive EQ, Manley Mastering SLAM stereo limiter and Micpre. Then we bring the audio back into Pro-Tools using our high end A/D converters. Next, we edit the beginning and end of all songs so there will be no noise between your tracks on the final CD. We will create a perfect fade out as well. Finally we bounce the audio to disc so that we can create a master CD-ROM. We only use the highest quality CD-ROM media when creating your master CD,

What you need to do!

All you need to do is send us your songs as DATA on a CD-ROM preferably 24bit 48,000 Hz in WAV or AIFF format. You can also just simply send us your audio CD and we will convert it into the proper format for you. It is important that you do not have your mix pegged to 0db. Keep the level down to -3 to -10 db so that you don’t run the risk of audio distortion. If you need cross fades or fade ins / fade outs we will do it free of charge. We have the fastest turn around time in the business. We will ship your masters back to you the following business day.

All you have to do is send us your songs and we will have them fully mastered within 24 hours from when we receive them. We do not accept MP3 versions of your songs via email. MP3 is not a high quality format. Any mastering company that claims they can master an MP3 is full of it. Regular mail may take longer but it is worth it.

Quality Guarenteed

We are positive that if you hear the sound quality, warmth, thickness and levels our mastering lab produces, you will send us every song that you ever recorded and tell all your friends. Our rates are unbelievable! You can send us your songs one at a time or the whole album at once. We will keep a log of your settings in order to keep track of all your mastering sessions. Your songs will always sound like they belong together! Mastering adds the proper punch, warmth and clarity to your sound. Your songs will be as high in volume level as all the radio ready songs that you hear on major label releases. All the songs on your demo or album will also be consistent with each other.
