Chroma Mastering
Mastering Approach
More Human
Mastering is more than a mere technical process or master bus processing; it’s an art. Our process involves closely collaborating with mixing engineers and musicians to grasp the emotional depth and intent behind the mix. We then use industry-leading analog and digital tools to create a unique and tailored master for each song – with no generic presets or cookie-cutter formulas. A more human approach, that works.
More Transparent
For us, your voice matters every step of the way. This means:
- Straightforward, upfront transparent pricing
- The option to request a complimentary test master sample
- The freedom to request unlimited revisions
- Ability to directly communicate with our Grammy-winning Mastering Engineer
- Your input is a key part of our process
Results You Can Feel
Our number one priority is results – results that you can not only hear but feel. We do this with:
- Grammy-winning expertise from lead mastering engineer
- Industry-leading analog & digital gear
- Purpose-built mastering room
- Dedication of an independent studio
- Utmost respect for music
