Dallas, Texas · James Driscoll

Final-stage mastering for artists who care about the sound of their work. Every release treated as a singular listening experience.

What's Included

Every project gets the same careful attention, regardless of genre or format.

Full EQ, dynamics, and limiting. Delivered as WAV at native resolution, 16/44.1 for CD, and 320k MP3 — plus DDP if you need it.

Loudness-normalized masters optimized for Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms — no pumping, no compromise.

Vinyl preparation and stem mastering available. Every format has different requirements — let's talk about what your project needs.

How it Works

WAV or AIFF at native sample rate and bit depth. Peaks around -4 dBFS, roughly -20 to -15 LUFS. We'll sort out the details.

Tell me about the project, the reference tracks you're hearing, the label or platform it's going to. Context matters.

You'll hear a master before anything is finalized. Revisions are part of the process — this is a conversation, not a transaction.

All formats delivered — streaming, CD, DDP, vinyl-ready if needed. ISRC embedding available for CD/DDP projects.
