New website launch - What is audio mastering ?

July 16, 2011 - PRLog -- What is audio mastering.com is a new website that has recently launched in order to clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding the art of audio mastering. Audio mastering is getting a wider exposure these days due to some high profile book releases and greater interest from DIY producers, musicians and record labels. The internet has opened up a new way to promote your music and it is only natural that online mastering services should arise to assist the musicians in releasing high quality end results.

Webmaster and mastering engineer Barry Gardner says: "When you search for online mastering online it really is a hit and miss affair for a band looking for someone who has had the real experience required to master a track or album without breaking the bank. Mastering services have been quite costly for musicians but now you can find some good deals if you look carefully. The problem is that there are many online mastering studios that are ill equipped and are frankly not very open about the equipment they use and  their experience as engineers. This is self evident in the lack of photo's of equipment "in situ" that fail to appear on these websites. Text and snazzy graphics do not cut it. At best it is not informative and at worst potentially misleading."

It is true that a search for online mastering yields a massive no of returns, it is not difficult to imagine the decision for a musician is going to be difficult. Gardner continues:

"Musicians need to have good quality information to hand related to online mastering services and this new website brings clarity and information together in 1 place and offers a lot of information so people making music can make more informed mastering choices".
