Hear the difference mastering makes across ten before-and-after examples: tighter low end, clearer vocals, a refined top end, and more depth—without changing the record’s identity.
Each file is normalized to –14 LUFS for consistency and fairness of comparison. Since almost all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon) normalize playback by default to around –14 to –16 LUFS, these examples reflect how your masters will actually be heard.
