Hot tip on buying mastering services:
Don't pay per track for mastering services. Mastering one track will take around 1.5 hrs, the second and third 30-40mins each, the fourth and onwards something like 20-30mins per track maximum. This is why if you are paying on a track by track basis you are probably overpaying after the first track.
What's special about our mastering chain?
Not just an outboard compressor and a bunch of software, but a serious rack of world class analogue and digital mastering hardware is the integral center of our mastering. Over years we have designed and fine tuned the mastering chain specifically for the independent music and musicians we have the pleasure of working with.
For all the gear nerds out there we have at our fingertips the Cranesong Hedd 192, Millenia NSEQ2, Mercury (pultec) H1 pair and P1 pair, Manley Massive passive, Manley VariMu, Tubetech SMC Tube Multiband compressor, Waves L2 (hardware) and more. Pivotal signal coordination by the transperent SSL X-patch and Dangeous S&M. Our main monitors are the world esteemed Barefoot MM27's full range micro-main monitors - a joy truly! For comprehensive gear list see here.
So that's many flavours of analogue (valve and JFET) eq's, plus finest quality compressors and harmonic engines, with added Dangerous M/S encoding and monitoring plus the extremely solid and trustworthy MM27's for the final critical listening test.
Don't pass up the opportunity to seriously save time, money and frustration and get pro analytics and mastering results at the absolute best rates, while working with amazing gear and great engineers who are into your music. This is our passion. We offer it to you with great satisfaction.

VINYL MASTERING?? : : LOVE IT.
There is a big shift going on with mastering for vinyl. If we couldn't do it, we'd be out of business. Our vinyl masters cut well and come back superb-o with compliments from the laythe. Currently recommended vinyl pressing locally with Zenith Records or OS through Implant Media, OS agent go to Pirates Press. We have had good results many times over through these channels. See our resources page for more links and recommendations.
Latest on E-Mastering your music overseas:
Getting big name over seas engineers on your cover art is one thing, but giving your appraisal of mastering-gone-wrong via email is another.. We are unfortunately scraping up the odd failed e-mastering artist's heart from the floor, their previous mastering being performed even by the some of biggest names in mastering. Why the heart break? Because the artist can't get their point through via email. If you're not lucky with a perfect result first time, then the headaches follow until you just accept what you got from a distance and move on to the next record, as soon as possible.. This is the story we are hearing from artists doing e-mastering with overseas mastering giants. Keep it local, be in control of your results. Deal with a real person. The results are impressive, really..!
