Mastering

Mastering is the final opportunity to perfect a recording. Using the very best valve and solid-state analogue compressors and equalisers, combined with the latest digital technology, we can fine tune your stereo mixes to create a professional-sounding, loud and vibrant master.

Using "Sonic Studio Pre-Master CD", we produce a DDP file (Disc Description Protocol), the standard specifically designed for CD production. This allows perfect error-free replication at the CD manufacturing plant and creates the best sounding CD's.

Whether your project was recorded at Castlesound or elsewhere, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
