Our website can help you to get the most out of our mastering services as well as provide you with plenty of background and general information about audio mastering.
If you’re interested in new mastering techniques such as mastering from stems we have a page dedicated to the subject with a full explanation, and we also have a page featuring tips on preparing yourself (and your mixes of course) for a mastering session.
For even greater detail you’ll find some interesting articles and essays on our blog which also features videos and audio streams from some of our clients. We really hope you enjoy exploring the site, and if you have any questions or observations feel free to get in touch.
Friendly helpful engineers with years of experience, a purpose-built mastering studio with the best mastering monitors money can buy and classic analogue outboard gear all at reasonable prices with no hidden extras.
We can give your mix the once-over ahead of your session to check for anything that could cause problems at the mastering stage. We ask for a £25+vat down-payment per track, which is then deducted from your final mastering bill. Call for details…
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.
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.

Mastering that isn't just about making things loud but respects and understands the mix and song. Results are always a 3D, HD, bigger, better version of what I came in with and Tim and Nick are a joy to work with...

Consistent brilliance... It's quite a marvel. Everything comes back sounding twice as expensive while being both painless and criminally cheap. And they never seem to f*ck up. How do they do it?
