Mastering Studio

Every master leaves our room checked against loudness targets for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and broadcast — plus a vinyl-safe cut with proper attention to the low end, sibilance and side-length. We work on stereo bounces or stems, with one attended day available at the studio for artists and labels who want to sit in.

What's included

  • Streaming masters (Spotify/Apple/YouTube loudness targets)
  • Vinyl pre-masters (side-length aware, DMM-ready)
  • CD PQ-sheeted DDP delivery
  • Broadcast (–23 LUFS) and mastered-for-sync deliveries
  • Attended mastering days in Bristol on request
  • Album-length pacing, level and tonal continuity

FAQ

How long does mastering take?

Singles typically turn around in 3–5 working days, EPs and albums in 7–10. Two revisions included as standard.

Stems or stereo?

Both. Stereo mastering keeps your mix engineer's decisions intact; stem mastering gives us more room to fix specific issues.

Can you cut a vinyl master?

Yes — we deliver a DMM/lacquer-ready vinyl pre-master alongside the streaming version, with a technical note for the cutting house.
