Digital Mastering Services

After all the singing, playing, mixing, tweaking and fixing... music and sound production needs a coat of polish, so to speak. This is called mastering.

At Sweetwater Productions, we digitally assemble the songs in the order you prescribe and then massage the sound of your project with our arsenal of digital tools including equalization, compression, leveling and a sensitive ear to bring out the best in your recording.

Mastering is an integral part of any recording that is to be distributed. Mastering will help make your recording sound more polished and will keep your listeners from having to adjust volume or tone controls from song to song... making your recording sound similar in quality and level to other professional recordings that they may be listening to.

Digital Mastering is an inexpensive way (beginning at under $500) to make your project shine.

Even if your project was not tracked or mixed at Sweetwater... (cough, cough, sputter... we can’t imagine that, but it happens...);-) ...even your home-recorded projects (or projects recorded ‘LIVE’ or in other studios) will benefit greatly from Digital Mastering.

Don’t just take our word for it... send us a song to master! We’ll demonstrate the difference to you BEFORE YOU PAY A SINGLE PENNY! If you like what you hear, you’ll be charged for the time as part of your mastering project. We’ll work hard to show you that mastering your project will be the best part of your project investment.

Here's what our clients are saying:
"Thank you! You and your staff did a spectacular job mastering our four numbers. Not only was the mastering a 'masterful' job, the rapid turnaround time was more than I could hope for. Because of you and your staff, Sweetwater will do all of my mastering from here on in."
Roy Shields

"I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the great job on the mastering for Ajuana Black's Soulful Journey CD. It really sounds good. Right in the pocket. Also, Julie made everything easy, it was a pleasure working with her. I will be calling on you guys in the very near future with other projects. Thanks again."
David Decuir

"Thank you for the fast responses. We had that same material mastered as a demo at another professional mastering facility and I have to say that Sweetwater's Mastering service is way above them. I am glad that I had such a good experience with you since I'm already a Sweetwater family fan and online customer."
Juan Attias

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for mastering the CD 'You Are a Gift.' It came out great!!! You really brought out the vocals and put an overall polish on the project that is awesome!!!

Julie was also very helpful in answering all of my questions and keeping me posted on the status of the project.

Another job well done by the Sweetwater team."
David Joseph Rofrano

"WOW!! To say the least we were blown away by what mastering did for our song. we almost couldn't believe that it went from what we had to the finished product. The additional reverb really made it sound bigger and just fattened it up in a warm way. Having the level equal to that of other professional music was also a big plus. It was kind of a nice affirmation that our stuff could sound like other things we hear."
