Meet our newest studio coach. Steve Taylor has been in the music industry for fifteen years and is here to help you with your mixes.

You’ve worked hard composing and recording tracks without settling for anything less than perfection. But should you go a step further and also do your own mastering on your studio computer? While the temptation is great to do so, think twice before diving into this project. Improper audio mastering can truly degrade the overall quality of your music. Thus, it is always best to seek out professional level companies to complete this last critical step for you.

You never know when it’ll hit you — when the key to that bridge or an idea for an overdub — will suddenly just be there. And you have to get it down, right now.That’s why there’s unlimited mastering, our flat-rate 24/7 service for artists, engineers, producers — anybody trying to keep track of all that audio coming out their ears.

A lot of people, when they hear the words “audio mastering” immediately imagine a scene from a movie. To people who’ve actually done it this is an annoying image. Recording is messy. A lot of musicians that are making music at home, who aren’t the pop singer in an oak-paneled studio, believe that there’s some sort of mutual exclusivity between “professionally mastered” music and “professionally recorded” music, that they can’t have music professionally mastered that was recorded at home or in a garage. Either that or they think themselves really “punk” or “DIY” or something of that nature and decline to use it because it’s incoherent with their personal musical aesthetic.
