Mastering for Gloucester 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.
Ties to Gloucester Guildhall, the Cheltenham Jazz/Music Festivals crowd, the Stroud singer-songwriter circle and Forest of Dean folk sessions.
We're 45 minutes up the M5 from our Bristol control room — most Gloucester projects run as a mix of in-person days at the studio and remote revisions, whichever fits your schedule.

- CD PQ-sheeted DDP delivery

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 Gloucester?
For attended sessions we usually host you in Bristol — it's 45 minutes up the M5 — but on-location tracking, foley recces and rehearsal-room production days in Gloucester are all things we do when the project calls for it.
