Mastering is the final processing that is done to a completed mix to ensure the mix will translate properly between different audio playback systems. Additionally, when your mix is Mastered, the overall volume of the mix is raised to a competitive level for that particular genre. If you intend your music to be broadcast on the mainstream radio then Mastering should not be overlooked.

At The Soundscape we have a beautiful five-piece birch shell CRUSH drum kit with an array of different cymbals and snare drums to choose from. Aside from that we also have a rare Detroit-made Leonard baby grand piano which is tuned and maintenance every three months. In regards to guitars and bass, we have a VOC AC15C1 as well as an Ampeg BA210v2.

We prefer that all files either be dropped off on a flash drive (make an appointment first) or zip them up and email files via “Wetransfer”. If you would like to email the files please call first to obtain an email address to send them. File type/sample rate and bit depth should be whatever the songs were mixed in. For example, this will most likely be wav (most idea), and if the songs were mixed in 24bit/48kHz then this is what should be sent. When sending files, please fill out a Mastering form and note the file type, sample rate, and bit depth so there is no confusion.
