Audio Mastering


Mastering is about the listening experience and the portability of that experience.  In the modern world, people are listening to your audio on televisions, laptops, theaters, stores, tiny ear buds, cars, terrestrial or satellite radio, and internet streaming services.  The only way to ensure that your mixes translate the way you want them to in all of these delivery mediums is by professional mastering.

Tympanic Media is about quality and portability. We use the best equipment available to ensure your hard work sounds as good in the real world as is does in your imagination. Whether it's rock, folk, classical, jazz, pop, hip hop, electronic, film score, television broadcast, or any other genre you can think of - we've got you covered in Stereo, 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos.

We offer online mastering for iTunes, Spotify, Television broadcast, radio, Audio CD (and provide a DDP with an MD5 Checksum for direct delivery to the plant), and SACD - if that's how you choose to live your life.  Every master is optimized for the target loudness of the intended medium, and is carefully checked for quality, tonal balance, and continuity with the rest of the project.  We also author metadata and ISRC information to ensure accurate sales, broadcasting and streaming reporting.

Since the internet is a big and scary place, and there are plenty of places to choose from to master your music, how can you know which one is right for you?
