Before & After

Hear the difference professional mastering makes. These before/after examples highlight clarity, balance, and depth, while staying true to the artist’s vision.

 

Each file is normalized to –14 LUFS for consistency and fairness of comparison, with the added bonus that it makes the jump in perceived loudness especially obvious. Since all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon) normalize playback between –14 and –16 LUFS, this setup reflects how your masters will actually be heard.
