What you get with this Offer
Mastering is the last stage in the process of putting a track (or release) out, adding the final polish to ensure that it sounds the best that it can in all possible playback situations and making sure that it fits together seamlessly so the sound doesn’t vary from track to track.
Accurately preserving dynamics and micro-dynamics of your audio material, I'll find the best way to give impact, space, clarity and punch to your final product!
Avoiding blunted, squashed, restricted, constricted, distorted, fuzzy and mushy sound, typical of an over compressed master.
In according with your requests and taste, we'll reach the best goal for you and for the best listening experience!

What the Freelancer needs to start the work
I need informations about your track/release/project.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE OVERALL LEVEL OF YOUR SONG?
___ Please favor dynamics over level
___ I want the level to be competitive with current major label releases

If “No”, please explain what your concerns are:
ARE THERE ANY RECORDINGS THAT YOU ARE LOOKING TO COMPETE WITH OR WOULD LIKE YOUR
PROJECT TO RIVAL (Reference Files)?
