Mastering Studio
in Cheltenham
Looking for mastering in Cheltenham? Cheltenham's music week, jazz festival and the year-round pipeline coming out of the town's schools and colleges means there's always more artists than there is studio space. That's why so many Cheltenham acts book Bristol days rather than fight for local time.
Mastering for Cheltenham 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.
Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Cheltenham Music Festival, 2000trees and the growing Wychwood cohort.
We're 50 minutes up the M5 from our Bristol control room — most Cheltenham 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

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 Cheltenham?
For attended sessions we usually host you in Bristol — it's 50 minutes up the M5 — but on-location tracking, foley recces and rehearsal-room production days in Cheltenham are all things we do when the project calls for it.
