A professional mastering is the final polish that can make or break a hit. If you want to compete with the leading artists of your scene in terms of loudness, punch and clarity, it’s simply essential.
Once your production is finished, it’s important to leave it to somebody with fresh, unbiased ears. Ideally a person who understands the style and aesthetic of your track, and how it should work in different acoustic scenarios. Ideally a person who works in a dedicated mastering room, where the sound is as linear as possible. A home studio has no professional acoustic treatment and therefore is just not the right place for a decent mastering job. Last but not least, analogue mastering equipment is essential to make your track stand out from a world of mainly computer-based production. These three factors provide the basis for Benjamin`s online mastering service.
1. Experienced Mastering Engineer After more than a decade as a producer and DJ, Benjamin knows how a track should sound to be rich and forceful on any sound system. He knows all the tricks of the trade and understands your sound and its unique character, be it raw or audiophile, phat or funky.
2. Dedicated Mastering Room Linear sound is the key when it comes to mastering , it needs to be done in an acoustic environment as neutral as possible. That’s exactly what the studio design by ‘Berlin Accoustic’ provides: An acoustic environment nearly linear, perfect for mastering.
3. Analogue Mastering Gear It makes your song stand out and adds a dimension of sound that can’t be achieved in the digital domain. Tubes, especially triodes, add harmonic overtones that please the human ear and improve the presence of individual sounds. The nonlinearities of transformers increase the density of the sound. The bass sounds richer, high frequencies pleasantly round.
