MASTERING

From Studio 2 in the bow of the lightship, we offer high-end mastering services at affordable rates, starting from £45 per track - see the table below for more info on pricing. The studio features world-class monitoring from ATC, tube limiting from the Manley “Variable-Mu” and analogue EQ from the Rupert Neve designed Amek Medici. When appropriate for your project we can provide the option of running the mix through our Otari 2” tape machine.

Besides improving the overall sonic balance and dynamics of your mix and ensuring the tracks work together cohesively, mastering provides the path to guide your music through the dizzying array of equipment and formats it will encounter to reach your audience. From state of the art home cinema set ups, to Amazon deal of the day el-cheapo ear buds, and via any medium, from mp3, through to FLAC, heavyweight vinyl or even cassette, mastering is your defence against these variables. We understand not only the precise specifications of a whole host of streaming services, but also the particular demands of mastering in preparation for vinyl production and CD authoring.

Mastering can be confusing when first encountered. Our experienced engineers are always happy to talk you through our process and ensure that we tailor the sound of your track to your exact specifications.
