Free Mastering Review

Mastering Tip

There’s a reason why every major release goes through the mastering process: mastering can make a huge difference in the final quality of most every recording. That’s why we are offering a FREE Audio Mastering Review — upon request — when you place a new CD replication order. As part of our mission to make your CD project a success, a SoundLAB engineer will preview your master to determine whether or not your CD would benefit from mastering. After reviewing your master thoroughly, an engineer will contact you and give you an honest evaluation, with no sales pitch.

Some things our engineers will evaluate your project for:

  • Is the overall level of your album competitive with major-label releases in your genre, or do you have to turn the volume of your CD up to match others?

  • Is the level consistent from track to track, or do 
you need to adjust the volume for each track as you 
listen through the entire album?

  • Are there any concerns with the EQ that could be 
addressed in mastering? Do you notice some 
songs have more low-end/bass than others, while 
some are noticeably brighter?

  • Is there noise before or after tracks that should 
be removed, or fade-outs that need to be smoother?

A FREE Audio Mastering Review by The SoundLAB at Disc Makers gives you the opportunity to have your master previewed in one of our world-class mastering suites, on a monitoring system that can reveal issues masked by a typical home/project studio environment.
