Mastering

In its simplest form, mastering is the essential final process of technically and creatively enhancing and assembling the individual tracks of a recording project. Once complete, the music is transferred to the format required for its release medium and sent to manufacturing plants for duplication or distribution. Mastering is a highly specialized field requiring refined skills in discerning and manipulating the very finite spectrum of sound in its infinite characteristics and parameters.

Web Mastering
Web Mastering allows us to master projects for clients around the globe. We do this by using an FTP website, a dedicated password protected file transfer service. Clients can securely transfer uncompressed, full resolution PCM digital audio files to Joao Carvalho Mastering. Final mastered audio files can then be securely transferred back to clients for review and approvals.

Night Shift Mastering
Night Shift Mastering allows independent artists to achieve the refined edge needed to compete against the major label releases, at a price even the most budget-conscious Indie band can afford.

Re-mastering
Sources coming from Vinyl or older tape stock can be "de-clicked" and or "de-crackled", delivering a smooth sounding master virtually defect or scratch free. Miracles sometimes happen!
