Mastering
Mastering is finishing your music for a certain sound carrier like MP3, CD or Vinyl. Today an important part of the mastering process is to analyze and improve the sound of the recording by EQ-ing, Compression, Limiting and other Sound Processing. All this to make your track stand out between other music and let it sound as good as possible.

Many labels and artists try to survive in the decreasing sales of these days. And because Mastering is a very important part of the investment, my goal is to make it reachable for the underground labels and artists out there with a lower budget.

Mastering for me is not making the music as loud as possible, but I like to keep some dynamics alive.
I have many years of experience in mixing and mastering but I’m not a magician and only can do my best to make it sound as close as possible to your wishes. It still depends on the mix of the recording itself if the results will be magical. So deliver your music with NO limiting or other plug ins on the bus output, keep it dynamic with a maximum peak level of -3dB and deliver it in WAV/AIFF 44,1kHz 24Bit only.

I will first listen to a mp3 file of the mix recording and if needed I can give some advise on how to improve the mix so the results will be maximum. Please send me your tracks so we can discuss possibility.
