Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use tracks mixed elsewhere?
Absolutely— We can take tracks recorded anywhere. This is often standard practice and helps to reduce the need for the artist to be onsite.
How loud will my master be?
We will cater to your needs, but we will make it as loud as you need it to be. Each platform has its own specific requirements, but if you want 11.. you got it!
I dont live local, can I still get a master?
Yes. We can handle the whole process remote in most cases. We can do video calls with high quality audio to do things together and share ideas.
Do you offer stem mastering?
Yes, stem mastering (drums, vocals, music beds) is available for projects needing deeper surgical work. Contact us for a custom quote.
