Whether you're a musician with self-produced work or a producer for an artistic group, you need audio mastering to be completely transparent, without the slightest distortion.
When the production work is finished, after so many hours of mixing in your studio, it's time to realize that with audio mastering you can do even more for your songs.
Now is the time for them to be recognized in a different acoustic environment and by ears capable of projecting them objectively, determining the potential of each creation and what it expresses, maximizing it and bringing that sensation to life every time you press play again.
