Mastering

To a ceiling, not a wall

Most mastering these days is a loudness race. We master to a tape ceiling — the signal sits where the room naturally lets it, and nothing gets squashed.

The chain

source    your mix, as you made it
eq        a little, only where it needs it
tape      print to 1/2" at 15 ips
limit     none, if we can help it

What you get

A master that breathes. It'll be a few dB quieter than the loud stuff on streaming — and it'll sound like a record, not a file.
