What is Mastering?

Great Mastering may be the only thing your music is missing, and most musicians take this crucial final step for granted. Why spend money and time recording something you believe in and not add final touches to sweeten the sound and provide the levels and intensity needed for a radio-ready hit?

Engine Room Audio offers you the opportunity to work in a perfectly tuned room with an experienced engineer and world class gear to create a Redbook Standard PMCD of your music that can rival the quality of your favorite major label releases. We offer a powerful combo of cutting edge technology and classic tube gear in a John Storyk designed mastering room.

Your music deserves the expertise and precision of a dedicated mastering environment with a dedicated mastering engineer. Don't be fooled in to thinking a recording studio and a mastering studio are the same. Would you let your mechanic do the custom paint on your Ferarri?

If you need to know more about the art of mastering, please read our "What is Mastering" page or feel free to schedule a studio visit to sit with one of our engineers and discuss the benefits of mastering
your project in our studio.
