Mastering Tracks / Prices

Mastering

Mastering is the last step in the chain after mixing and putting the icing on the cake. Getting the acceptance of a label to release your track is getting harder and harder every day. You will have to make sure that you can compete with the loudness and still keep the feel and the dynamics of the song.

The sad reality in the music industry is that most label people who are in a position of helping your project, aren’t going to give it the time of day. They are overworked, bombarded by demos. Working with a mastering engineer will elevate your track and give you the extra credits you need for the head of A&R.

Make sure you have the following settings in your DAW:

No limiter on the master bus unless it is absolutly crucial to the feel of the track. If you do not use any limiting keep it at a -6 db of headroom. Make sure it is 44.1 khz and 24 bits at a minimal. Unless you have it set to other values please keep it that way! (I have high end conversion tools to deal with that. Stereo interleaved. No dithering. And in .WAV or .AIFF
