Attended Sessions

Typically we will begin an attended mastering session by listening to parts of some or all of your mixes, and discussing what you would like to achieve during the mastering process. If there are other recordings that help demonstrate what you would like to accomplish, by all means share them with us.

The bulk of the session day is then spent running through your album song by song, performing any necessary analog and digital processing as we load your mixes into our editing workstation. Sequencing, spacing, and editing is performed in the workstation, and any required metadata is added. A reference disc (or discs) is then made of the completed album.

For a full length album this process usually takes the better part of a day, typically starting around 10am and finishing around 7-8pm, with a lunch break somewhere in there.

Now it's time to take your reference copy home for a final listen in a familiar setting, and we begin the approval and production master process.
