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.

Professional mastering makes all the difference.
