Mastering at Resident Studios

Mastering is the final stage of any recording process and is what transforms a well recorded and mixed track to an amazing sounding, commercially ready product. It is essential to ensuring that your tracks make the impact they deserve!

Often considered the dark art of recording, mastering involves the source material being processed using equalization, compression, limiting, noise reduction and other processes. Track sequencing also takes place where mastered source material is put in the proper order. Editing, pre-gapping, levelling, fading in and out, noise reduction and other signal restoration and enhancement processes can be applied as part of the mastering process. The highly skilled mastering engineers at Resident Studios have wealth of experience in in this fine art and are ready to put the finishing touches to your tracks right now.
