I am offering my mastering services for single tracks, EP's or albums. If you would like to have a quote for mastering then please contact me here or at [email protected]
Prices based on the amount of tracks and the time taken to edit or fix the final version. All tracks will be mastered in 24 bit .wav files with Dynamic Range being the priority. I can make the tracks loud and squashed
to match current industry standards if you wish but I do not recommend this if you want your tracks/release to sound the best it can. I don't have a mega professional set up but I can make your tracks come to life and get them close to having a professional expensive studio treatment.
~ Background Information ~
Cymatic Studios is a production and mastering service provided by myself Simon Morris. I have been producing and mastering under the project name 'Loose Connection' since 2009 (https://soundcloud.com/loose-connection). I have done mastering for this project since the beginning and have learnt many new skills and techniques along the way. I have tested mastered tracks on every type of sound system to get the best dynamic range and punch out of my sound. I have mastered tracks for various friends, artists and labels during this time and have a regular interaction with these people. After years of trial and error I have found that the best way to master is to keep the dynamic range alive as much as possible. The music industry currently makes final masters very loud which at first seems great but they seriously kill all the hard work the producer has put in to the original track. If you want to research this more Google the 'Loudness War' (http://dynamicrangeday.co.uk/about/).
~ Mastering Process ~
Tracks are mastered with digital equipment or VST's. Analog equipment will be added at a later date but the current set up is purely digital. I use a chain of EQ's, Compressors, Multi-band Compressors, Stereo Imagers and Multi-band Limiters. I don't believe in one VST doing all the work so I use a lot of VST's in my chain but use each one subtlety to enhance the areas I or the producer wants. I am happy to work with the artist or label owner to make it sound exactly how they want, any major changes will be consulted with. Tracks will sound warm and punchy but not too loud that it damages the original sound or your ears.
