Audio Mastering

Audio Mastering is the final step in taking an audio recording into the professional world. Tracks need to be loud, clear, and able to cut through on the radio, at the club, and on streaming and social media platforms. Mastering adds the final polish that gives your songs that “professional” sound.

If you are releasing a single, EP, album, or need a cut for your DJ set tonight, you will need your track to sound good on any system it gets played on. This can be a tough job! Your track should sound just as full and detailed on a D&B or Funktion-One sound system as it does on your homie’s stoop through their rechargeable speaker box, or in your bluetooth earbuds.

Is this even possible? Yes, but it takes some skill and specialized equipment. At PureSonic, we use a professionally designed and tuned sound system—including speakers, converters, processors, and even acoustically designed room—so that we can fine tune your mix in a neutral environment that allows us to make all the eq, width, compression, etc. adjustments needed for best playback balance. It’s sometimes subtle, but the difference is always noticeable. After mastering, you can hit “play” on your track, sit back, and just enjoy. No matter how you’re listening.

PureSonic also does the digital dirty work, too. Tracks mastered for digital formats need to be encoded to specifications depending on the final medium. Back in the day of CDs, you would need a DDP file, which included track names, the timing of the spaces between songs, and instructions for a replication plant. We still offer this, but we also include—free of charge—all the formats needed for today’s listeners: streaming services like Spotify, social media, and anything else that needs meta-data and all the other digital odds and ends.
