Master Recording Services In Pittsburgh, PA

Similar to mixing, mastering starts with pinning down the expected final sound. From there, whatever steps are needed to get the project to that point are taken. If we have to go back to mix adjustments, I have no problem addressing them within my own mix, or if it is an external engineer’s mix, reaching out to them expressing my concerns. Mastering is bringing that mix up to a modern sounding finalized sound. I don’t master to a set measurement, dynamic range, LUFS, but simply master to what sounds correct for the project. A hardcore band, it has to be loud. A movie soundtrack, it can be dialed back. If I’m doing both the mixing and mastering of a project, the workflow tends to mesh into one, rather than a rigid two step process. We live in the future: we aren’t limited by technology or tape machines. We can make adjustments to the master settings and mix settings simultaneously until we are both satisfied with the final results.
