Mastering Studio
in Cardiff
Looking for mastering in Cardiff? Cardiff is a short hop across the Severn and one of the most active grassroots scenes in the UK — Clwb Ifor Bach, Tramshed, the BBC Horizons pipeline and a huge Welsh-language songwriting community. Plenty of Cardiff artists find Bristol quicker than tying up Cardiff's busier rooms.
Mastering for Cardiff 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.
Overlap with Clwb Ifor Bach, Tramshed, Welsh Music Prize and BBC Horizons/Radio Cymru rotation acts.
We're 45 minutes across the Severn from our Bristol control room — most Cardiff projects run as a mix of in-person days at the studio and remote revisions, whichever fits your schedule.
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.
Do you travel to Cardiff?
For attended sessions we usually host you in Bristol — it's 45 minutes across the Severn — but on-location tracking, foley recces and rehearsal-room production days in Cardiff are all things we do when the project calls for it.
