Mastering is an art unto itself! It is the final step in the audio production process and offers the chance to put that final touch on your project! Certain mixing problems can be compensated for during the mastering process. But ideally the purpose for mastering is to take the individual mixes and place them in context with each other (sonically speaking) in a way that provides a greater sense of continuity and fullness. This creates a project that is greater than the sum of its parts and sounds good on a variety of systems.

Audio Mastering involves a combination of several processes which are customized for the needs of each project:

Media Transfer
Normalization
Equalization
Multiband Compression
Multiband Expansion
Multiband Limiting
Analog Tape Emulation
Automation of Settings
