There are two Mastering Solutions to choose from:
1.) Industry Standard Full Service Mastering
2.) Industry Standard Basic One Pass Mastering

With Full Service Mastering, we provide a high class mastering processing for your mixes. More exactly, every track will be individually analyzed and processed. We will pay attention to your demands, that's why we want to know what you expect from your final work. We are expecting an open communication with our clients. At times, the mastering process may or may not change dramatically the sound of your audio material. Sometimes the mastering 'magic wand' is not able to fix common mistakes that are usually made during the recording and mixing sessions. Be sure to read the 'how to prepare the mixes for the mastering session'. The very common rule 'we'll fix it in the mastering' is as real as santa claus or the easter bunny. Read over this article and take your time and prepare you mixes.

These are the basic steps that we will provide during the Full Service Mastering setup:
- mixes extraction & mastering session creation
- check in & problems logging
- individual track editing process
- processing each track separately (stereo field expanding, image balancing, equalization, compression, limiting, dithering or any other needs.)
- phase correlation checking (stereo and mono)
- CD track ordering, spacing and fades
- RedBook or image building (CD image for FTP transfer)

Let's say that you record and mix the entire material with some basic settings. So all your mixes, sound similarly from one song to next song and all you need is a final master for short-run. There are many reasons that you need a short-run, because you can't present just a simple mix with poor level, but the time and the budget are not on your side. In this case we offer you "One Pass" service which uses a global process for all your mixes. More exactly, we will treat all your tracks with same compression, same eq, same stereo image and same limiting. ONE PASS Mastering is a great “budget” alternative to standard mastering but keep in mind that there is one “global” setting applied to the entire finished product. For example an acoustic band or an orchestra can choose this service because all the tones and processings don't significantly modify. If songs vary widely in volume or general tone, or if they were mixed using different settings, “ONE PASS” would probably NOT be your best choice. Be sure that we will let you know if material is best suitable for the One Pass or Full Service Mastering. Also, make sure to read the 'how to prepare the mixes for the mastering session'. The very common rule 'we'll fix it in the mastering' is as real as santa claus or the easter bunny. Read over this article and take your time and prepare your mixes for mastering.

These are the basic steps during the Basic One Pass Mastering setup:
- mixes extraction & mastering session creation
- check in & problems logging
- processing with just a single setup for all your mixes (stereo field expanding, image balancing, equalization, compression, limiting)
- phase correlation checking (stereo and mono)
-CD track ordering, spacing and fades
- RedBook or image building (CD image for FTP transfer)
