Steve Flato’s mastering service, offered in conjunction with Cryptic Carousel, is the last phase in your creative process before going to duplicate your tapes. Does your music sound a little flat compared to other reference recordings when you compare them? The mastering process under Steve Flato takes your final mixes and prepares them to go to physical media and digital outlets. You can think of it like the last stage of the mixing process: you deliver the mix closest to your vision of it and we take an objective, third party view and correct errors, make volumes consistent between tracks, apply EQ/compression to make the music sound as good as possible, and generally provide a final bird’s eye view of your project.
