Mastering Studio
in Bristol
Looking for mastering in Bristol? Bristol is our home city and the reason the studio exists. From the trip-hop DNA of Massive Attack and Portishead through Bristol drum & bass, dubstep, jazz revival at Strange Brew and the folk-rock circuit around the Louisiana and Rough Trade, the city rewards records that mean something.
Mastering for Bristol artists
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.
Local venues and promoters we work with regularly include Strange Brew, Rough Trade, The Louisiana, Exchange, Thekla and Trinity — plus BBC Introducing in the West, Noods Radio and 1020 Radio for airplay.
We're 0 minutes — home turf from our Bristol control room — most Bristol projects run as a mix of in-person days at the studio and remote revisions, whichever fits your schedule.

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.
Do you travel to Bristol?
For attended sessions we usually host you in Bristol — it's 0 minutes — home turf — but on-location tracking, foley recces and rehearsal-room production days in Bristol are all things we do when the project calls for it.
