Frequently Asked Questions

Mastering is the final step in audio post-production that prepares a completed mix for commercial distribution and consistent playback across all sound systems, it includes loudness optimization, tonal control, quality control and cohesion through the use of analog and digital processing.Opinions are divided but the main school of thought is that audio mastering as a distinct discipline was invented in the late 1940s, following the introduction of magnetic tape and vinyl records. The introduction of the tape machine in 1948 allowed music to be captured and consequently edited before being processed and transferred to a final format.There are many different ways to master a record and many different schools of thought on how best to get to the finalization but the main aim is to make your music sound as good, as clear and as loud as it possibly can be. At Wrecksonic we believe in combining the best of old and new school approaches, there are many tools to use and each project deserves its own special consideration. We love old gear and the sound it imparts on music but at the same time we appreciate the modernity and fluidity of digital plug ins....AI we're not so keen on.
