Mastering

Mastering is the last step between a finished mix and release. We set loudness, dynamics and tone so the track holds up on streaming, radio, in the car and on headphones.

What’s included

  • Streaming-ready loudness.
  • For albums, matching the tracks so they sound consistent.
  • Preparation for vinyl and CD release.
  • The master is delivered as WAV, and as MP3 on request. Revisions by agreement.

What to send

  • Your finished mix as a WAV file, with no processing on the master bus and some headroom left.
  • A reference track for loudness and tone, if you have one.

Mixing and mastering together

If we mix the track as well, we master it here in the same process.

The studio: Endre utca 14, 1102 Budapest (District X, Kőbánya)
