​​

Effects and Creative Processing:

Do you leave the effects on the channels? No, here's why:

• Ultimately, it's up to you as the artist to handle the creative aspects of your music, including effects like reverb, delay, and sidechain compression. This allows the mixing and mastering engineer to focus on the technical processing needed to bring your track to its fullest potential while you maintain control over the artistic elements that define your sound.

​

Additional Information to Provide:

• Self-Mastered Version: Include a self-mastered or limited version of your track to give us an idea of your vision.

• (Optional) Provide a reference track for your desired sound. This can be any track, not necessarily your own, to guide the mastering style as some artists and labels like it to have a character etc.. (if no reference is provided, our professional all round mastering style will be used.)

Revisions Policy

• We offer one complimentary revision with your mix and master order, focusing exclusively on adjustments related to the audio changes we have made during the mastering process, such as tweaks to levels, EQ (equalization), compression, and other enhancements to improve sound quality. To ensure the best results, please provide detailed notes outlining your specific requests and preferences. This will help us understand exactly what adjustments are needed and achieve the sound you desire.

 

• Please note that this revision does not cover issues originating from the mix or the original recording; these should be addressed before submitting your audio for mastering. To ensure the best results, please make sure your audio is 100% finished and exactly as you want it in terms of mixing before submitting it for mastering. Additional revisions will have to be charged at an additional £40 per master.
