Mastering Tips

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. We get it. 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.

Most recording artists don’t think much about mastering until they need it for a project they are sending off for replication.  But the more you know about post-production before you set foot in a studio, the better chance you have to walk away with a professional sounding CD.

This video is for indie bands who want an underground sound, and addresses the lo-fi trend in production and some advantages of mastering specifically for recording projects that need to feel vintage or “under-produced.”

This featured video is for those of you who are getting ready to record for the first time, or just looking for some DIY mastering advice, take a few minutes and check it out.

Enjoy!

We’ve been working on a video series that focuses on uncovering the little things nobody tells you about as a young musician going into the studio – stuff that’ll save you money (and make you money), and give your recording projects the professional edge they need.   Here are a few of Will’s favorite videos in the Mastering Secrets series so far – take a look :)
