WELCOME TO FLUID MASTERING STUDIOS UK

World Class Attended And Online Mastering UK

Attended Mastering

The ideal way to prepare your music for release in the real world is with an attended mastering session in one of UK’s most highly regarded mastering suites. Industry standard monitoring and analogue outboard plus the UK’s leading mastering talent are at your disposal when you book a session with us.

 

Online Mastering

Designed for your convenience, our online mastering service brings the process to your desktop so that you can upload your tracks, calculate the fee, download your masters and pay for the session with minimum fuss directly through the website.

 

Prices

Despite our high-end credentials we are a mid-priced studio costing considerably less than our American counterparts but a little more than the bedroom studios and non-specialist recording studios you’ll find online. We offer discount packages for unsigned artists so call us or email for a deal tailored to your budget. We don’t publish a price list because every job is different!

Why Not Let The Mix Guy Do It?

Mastering is a specialisation. It’s not just about making your tracks louder, and only someone who masters every day has the objectivity and the tricks up his or her sleeve to bring the best out of your music, and only by mastering in a dedicated mastering room can the problems caused by inaccurate monitoring at the mixing stage come to light.

Digital or Analogue?

The vast majority of material we master goes through an analogue signal path using some of the best outboard money can buy, but some processing is best handled using precision digital tools so we tend to deploy a combination of both. For further details check out or STUDIO ONE page.
