enhancing the presentation.
Mastering enhances the presentation of a mix so it sounds its best on the widest variety of playback systems.  Translating well
to all playback systems, while preserving the musical intent of the artist/producer, defines the art and science of mastering.
Enhancing the presentation optimizes a mix so it makes the best possible impression on the listener.  Making the best possible impression is important for music sales, radio airplay, and advancing a music career.  Mastering engineer, Bob Speer, pays close attention to detail and has been enhancing the presentation for Clients since 1985.

Quality Control.
Our commitment to quality Guarantees our Red Book masters will far exceed the requirements of CD replicators.  Each master we produce is tested for accuracy before it leaves our facility.  We provide clients with full documentation on the Quality of each master we ship.  The benefit to you... no rejected masters... no production delays!

Turn Around Time, test cd, and client approval.
Clients will receive a test CD for approval when mastering has been completed.  Mastering should be completed and the test
CD shipped approximately 7 to 10 business days after we receive the project.  The test CD provides clients with the opportunity to approve the master, or request changes.  When changes are requested, clients will receive another test CD for approval. Clients will receive 2 change requests free of charge.  If additional changes are required, a nominal fee may apply.

What do Clients Receive After Approving The Test CD?
1. A replication master (sealed in a jewel case to prevent disc contamination) and a reference CD.
2. A master track log (cue sheet) required by CD replicators.
3. Liner notes indicating track times, etc.
4. Documentation that Guarantees your replication master is of the highest quality.

The Master Discs.
The replication master and the reference CD are both created from the same master file.  The reference CD is for general playback and for burning copies for band members, friends, family, etc.  Providing a reference CD allows the replication master to remain sealed and in pristine condition until the time of replication.
