Every project needs mastering. It's the final step in making great music. A great mix can be killed by mastering or it can be enhanced to the next level. It's to the songs advantage to have an unbiased 'fresh ears' approach by a third party that has never heard the song before. Mastering will correct the overall spectral balance and average loudness between songs. It's also the feel, punch, and impact of the songs. The glue of all the mix elements.

If your project has the budget, I highly recommend a professional mastering engineer. I recommend all my projects to Stephen Marsh Mastering

If you are on a tight budget, I can and would prefer to master your project. I can achieve professional results with out breaking the bank. Most full length Cds can be completed for under $500. Your project will get the attention it deserves. There is no hurry at BRS, I listening through the entire song many times to find the appropriate settings and parameters. I work with you to achieve the final sound. I do this for each song. Most sessions last all day. Bring your lab coat. Prepare to be impressed.

So what about my gear? The entire studio is fueled by ultra clean, power-factor corrected and regulated balanced power. I use the latest Apogee 24-bit converters and high sample rates throughout the mastering chain. All audio cable is the best Mogami. I typically employ tube line-amps routed to the transformer balanced, Inward Connections' SPA690 summing amp blocks. Once in the digital domain, the songs are sequenced and optimized for equal volume perception. Additional editing, compression and equalization can also be applied if necessary via the best plug-ins. Major restoration, restructuring, editing, and noise reduction tools may be extra depending on the time consumption. Call for demos or examples. Thanks for looking.
