after another recording and have to turn it up?) but also puts the final EQ and compression on the tracks. The EQ and compression give your tracks that clean, smooth, finished sound you hear on all radio ready recordings today. Only $50/hr for mastering of wav, aiff, mp3, or audio CD stereo mixed formats! Typically it takes about 1/2 hr per track to do the mastering.
For the professional: If you have experienced mastering before, you know that high-quality equipment and software, room treatments, and great ears are necessary. At CCM, we use the most state-of-the-art software chain for mastering including the Massenburg DesignWorks High Resolution Parametric EQ, the entire suite of McDSP compressor plug-ins, the SPL Transient Designer, and the Massey L2007 Mastering Limiter. So as not to lose any fidelity along the signal path we use the AVID HD I/O interface with premium A/D and D/A conversion. With the HD I/O we maintain high quality audio on the way to the Martin Sound MonitorMax stereo monitoring controller and out to our Genelec 1031A studio monitors and Genelec 7060 sub. Our MonitorMax works on a ladder-capacitor system that maintains fidelity at high and low volumes. This way we can achieve the best sounding finished recording possible.

 | I had Darren master my latest album, and was very pleased with the finished product. Darren uses a technique called stem mastering, in which he treats the lead vocal and instrumental track as two separate "stems". The versatility of this technique was most apparent in a ballad that featured a subtle piano intro, and gradually grew to a full band sound over the course of the song. He was able to apply different mastering settings to the various sections of the instrumental track as it changed, while maintaining a cohesive feel to the song as a whole. Darren took great pride in making my album sound its very best, and he worked closely with me throughout the process to make sure he exceeded my expectations. His services were timely, affordable, very professional and top quality. I recommend him without reservation. - Allen Krehbiel, songwriter/ Nashville Songwriter's Association Coordinator - Denver |

"When it came time to press my album; Darren and CCM took tracks that I had recorded over the last year, including a live single microphone in a bar track, and mastered it to fit other studio and live tracks- to flow the album." - Ryan David Miller ryandavidmillerpoetry.com | |
