MASTERING

At SoundOps, we love mastering dubstep!  Over the last few years our studio has mastered dubstep more and more.

In fact, just in the last year, our engineers have probably spent 20% of their time mastering dubstep exclusively!

There is no denying it’s novelty to the general public, and for those of us who have enjoyed the genre for a while, it’s cool to see it grow.

We thought this video was great and wanted to share it with you.  It’s a quick lesson.  Let us know in the comments if you agree with this guy…

To us, dubstep is not just a trend, it represents the far end of the “loudness war” where the hotter the master can be is usually better to the artist (and sometimes even as audio snobs, we agree).  When our clients want it to crank, that’s what we do.

If you produce your own dubstep mixes, and want them to hit harder than the demo-sounding projects your friends have, let us master one of your tracks so you can hear the difference.

Dubstep is commonly DIY when it comes to mixing, but any dubstep should undergo mastering, especially if it’s destined for commercial release.

If you want to learn more about audio mastering (and how it’s unique for dubstep) hit us up anytime.  The SoundOps team wants to master your dubstep mixes in 2012!
