Mixing and Mastering Services: For Whom are They Best Suited?
Mixing and mastering are vital in any kind of audio post-production process and can make a significant difference to the finished product. This additional level of refinement can be the difference between a track that supports your message and engages with your audience, or one that distracts and makes your customers want to switch off. You don’t have to be a corporate video or a luxury brand to benefit from our mixing and mastering services.

Whether you want attended mixes to have input into every step or file-based review sessions that match your own time constraints, our mixing and mastering team can adjust to suit your working style.

Mixing and mastering services: Common use cases
Mixing and mastering can solve a number of problems in your production pipeline, turning rough, unpolished raw audio files into professional-sounding assets ready for distribution. Here are some of the use cases we see when it comes to mixing and mastering:
Businesses with existing audio assets
Mixing and mastering are important for finalizing audio for use in businesses and agencies. The audio in your corporate videos and training sessions often requires mixing of different layers (voice over, ambiences, sound effects) to ensure the right balance and support your message. We have done this for AT&T, for instance, for their corporate videos.
Businesses who work with advertising, marketing, and PR agencies
Agencies often turn to us for adding an extra sheen to audio used in ads and promos. This could be for entertainment or sports, where your audio needs to stand out on social media and broadcast, and so mastering is especially important.
Brands and entertainers
Luxury brands like Hublot who want to refine their product audio elements to sound more high-end and sophisticated. Entertainers are another example – mixing and mastering music, or voice-overs, and any elements used on a release.
Small businesses and startups
Smaller businesses or startups can still access cost-effective mixing and mastering services for their business. This might be to mix podcast episodes or master a demo track or two, getting a professional level of sound on a lower budget.
We would start by analyzing the audio in question, and understanding your goals for it, then apply a targeted set of techniques to get the results you need.
