The Internet. Friends. Turkey. Hoodies. Naps. Watching sports instead of playing them. Pets. Motorcycles. And music that [...]

We were recently asked this question by one of our customers. “I see how you enhance/amplify the audio, but what about a song that has eq’s that are too high or clipping/popping, etc. basically recorded amateurly; can your audio engineers take a full song that was recorded poorly and clean it up and make it sound more professional?” Our Co owner Will Duke answers

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.

Maybe you can make money as a musician after all. Yup. The Recording Industry Association of America is saying sales rose by $7 billion last year.

“All in one” schools can be tempting, but when teetering on the question “should i learn to do all this stuff myself or pop for professional mastering?” You should be clear about your goals. If you decide you are serious, and aren’t sure where to turn contact us.
