About CPM. . .
Chris Pavey Mastering aims to provide high quality audio and service to all its clients, from mastering new tracks to restoring old ones. CPM has developed over a number of years and has worked with artists of all genres across the globe.
What Is Mastering. . .
Mastering is the final process in the long chain of audio production. It is the finalising of any audio for commercial use and has many steps in itself that makes a track translate from the studio to the consumers in as fluid a way as possible.
Remember you only have one first impression with a piece of music, a well mastered track will always make a positive impression that stands out in todays competitive music industry.
A fresh pair of ears applying their input to your mix is never a negative move, and clients are always surprised on the details I can pick up on in their tracks. I will always carry an independent view of the mixed tracks and will endeavour to add to and polish your mix with out subtracting the feel or musical direction of the composition.
Mastering For iTunes. . .
CPM can meet the specifications required for the delivery of iTunes ready masters.
How Much Does It Cost?
Prices are discussed with client on a project per project basis.
How Do I Prepare My Tracks For Mastering. . .
At CPM I ask that my clients,
Provide CPM with the highest possible quality WAV /AIFF files. E. g if the track was recorded at 48kHz and 24Bit then please export at that level. CPM will not except MP3 files.
Remove any master bus processing and effects from your master channel in your DAW.
That tracks have at least a peak level below -5dBFS. With out sufficient headroom it is difficult to master effectively.
How Do I Receive My Finished Masters?
Transfer to client via secure cloud services or CD's /DVD's /USB Drives can be sent by couriered delivery.
