About us
Mixing, Mastering and Remastering.
We're committed to giving you the best value, highest quality mixing, mastering and remastering services.
We're musicians ourselves, so we care deeply about getting the best sound for you that we can.
Mixing
Muddy sound? Too much low end? Vocals not sitting right in the mix? Drums and bass fighting for space? We've got your back.
We can mix from stems or individual tracks, and get everything just right.
Have reference tracks you'd like to 'mix match' to?
Bring 'em on!
Mastering
So, you're happy with your mix, it all sounds as it should. But it's missing something.
Does it sound a little thin? Does it need some sparkle, more width, less width or just be louder?
We have been there, done that. Let us help.
Re-mastering
You've got mixed and mastered versions of your tracks. Perhaps they were mastered years ago, and approaches have moved on.
Maybe you only have lower quality mp3's that you'd like to spruce up.
We can help. See our portfolio for examples of remastering that we have undertaken.
