Mastering is one of the most essential aspects of a recording project. The quality of your CD depends upon it. Commercially successful albums rely on mastering to achieve the best possible sound. Only a skilled, experienced engineer can properly master your album. Home studios often say they offer mastering, but really don’t have the expertise or the facilities to do so. With the “volume wars” of today, we’ve seen most home studio mastering jobs destroy the dynamics of a recording by making it over-compressed and distorted.
At Allusion Studios, you'll get professional mastering along with the individual care and attention your project deserves. We have worked with today’s top professionals like Adam Ayan from Bob Ludwig’s Gateway Mastering (where nearly 60% of all top radio hits are mastered), and have done extensive training and research in the field.
Mastering consists of a series of processes which include final equalization, multi-level compression, level matching, de-noising, IRSC coding, time between tracks, fades, and P & Q sub-coding to Red Book Standard.
