The final 5%

Mastering.

Loudness-ready, platform-correct masters that translate from earbuds to the club. Priced by consult.

What is mastering

The last step before release.

Mastering is the final polish on a finished mix — leveling, tonal balance, and loudness so your record holds up next to anything on the playlist. Because every record is different, we price mastering after a quick consult on track count, delivery format, and timeline.

How we master

Made to translate.

Mastering is a listening job. We work on reference monitors so the choices we make hold up everywhere — earbuds, car, laptop, and the club — then deliver in every format you need.

  • Reference monitoring

    We master on calibrated monitors so what you hear actually translates.

  • Loudness, done right

    Competitive for your genre without crushing the life out of the record.

  • Tonal balance

    Even, full-range tone from the smallest earbuds to a full system.

  • Every format

    Streaming-ready masters plus platform-specific targets on delivery.
