Mastering

The final step to elevate your music, ensuring it shines on every playback system. Hybrid ITB / Analog Chain.

The Mastering process

Once you have a properly mixed file for your music, mastering is the very final stage, gently addressing balance and dynamic issues, ensuring proper loudness for any given genre and optimisation for all platform and sound systems.

This is an e-mastering process, we work remotely and send you back a stereo audio file.

For attending the mastering session in our Studio in Paris, please let us know in advance to schedule properly.

We need the stereo audio file of your final mix:

• Wav or aiff format

• 24 bit or 32 bits (no 16 bit preferably)

• 44.1 or 48kHz

• 4 or 6db of headroom.

• No clipping, No dithering. (ask you mix engineer if needed)

Please provide the exact BPM, as well as any variations in BPM, if applicable.

Concerning effects and plug-ins on your mix-bus, this is a matter of preference, but keep what you believe is part of the sound you are looking for. Don't mute a plug if your mixdown collapses.

We are here to discuss about it with you, If you have any reference tracks you'd like to share to help us understand the vibe or result you're aiming for, they are really welcome.

As always get in touch to discuss about your needs and the process.
