Excellent Mastering Service

Third time using these animals now and so far have been very impressed by the mastering work they have done on our tracks for Glasgow band Kardo. We will be continuing to using Audio Animals to master our future releases as they clearly know what they are doing.

Exceptional Mastering Service

We’d also like to thank Audio Animals Ltd. For sprinkling that magical mastering dust over the album, they are absolutely brilliant and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for production!

Exceptional Mastering from Nick

Nick and Audio Animals did a fantastic job mastering my album Velvet Animals. The tracks were sonically difficult to manage and there was a wide range of dynamic range across the album. Nick managed to make everything sound great. I highly recommend Audio Animals for your mastering needs!

Great Mastering Service

I am left speechless! My feet are shaking and my guitar player buddy is shedding a few tears… other than that, it’s all good! Thank you so much for your work! I really feel like you took our track to the next level! I will forever master my music at Audio Animals! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

Exceptional Mastering from Nick

I never thought that its possible to improve the Quality of my track as much as these guys are doing it.! Nick has mastered several tracks for me the past weeks, and I can only say that this is absolutely great work, and superb service. Great & friendly communication, and always helpful if anything needs to be modified. I can fully recommend the Stem Mastering, and working with Audio Animals!

Exceptional Mastering Service

Wow, what can I say about these chaps other than they are masters of their craft. Brilliant service and I’m very pleased with what they gave back to me. Five stars!

Exceptional Mastering from Nick

I have just had my first track mastered by Audio Animals and on top of the AWESOME master I received, the communication was superb! Audio Animals (Nick) made every effort to make sure that I was 100% happy with the end product. You could easily spend £200 with a different mastering company achieving the same result as you would get from these guys for just £30! Highly recommended!

Great Mastering Service

I have to say that I really like your work. Honestly, I was not even very sure about the track itself but now with your mastering it is another track and it is much better.

Great Results from Audio Animals

This is so far beyond anything I could hope to achieve and love the result. Also really appreciate the prompt and articulate communication.

Exceptional Service from Audio Animals

You guys do such an amazing job every time. Love the fact I can just send a track in to you guys and I know it’s in capable hands. Incredible customer service and communication throughout the process. Track sounds fantastic so much love for what you do

Excellent Mastering Service

Thanks for the mastering of our tracks. We’re very pleased with the result! Sounds very good. We’ll be sure to contact you in the future if we need more tracks done.

Exceptional Mixing and Mastering from Nick

This is the first time I have tried Audio Animals and I have to say I am very impressed! I used the priority service because I was in a hurry to release, I received the mastered version back well within the 24 hour window and the results were exceptional. If I had have had to go back for a remaster, it would be because of my mix, as the mastering job really did “work the magic. Nick, the mastering engineer, really has seemed to have understood the music, as a genre and as a sonic experience. The result is better than I anticipated! I’m a very happy customer and I shall be asking Audio Animals to master my future recordings. Great job!

Great Mastering Service

The best mastering service I have ever experienced. Couldn’t speak more highly of the Audio Animals team!

Exceptional Results from Nick

Nick has done an incredible job! I normally chuck a lot into a mix but this one was very sparse. The extra character and control is really impressive and the drums sound chunky beyond what I could of imagined. Vocal sounds heavy and always cuts through. Perfect!

Exceptional Results from Audio Animals

What a difference a song sounds when you let the pros do their job. My track “LAZY WITH LOVE” is sounding fantastic…. Thank you, I’ll be in touch soon with another track.

Exceptional Mastering Service

Once again Audio Animals have done an outstanding job of mastering one of my tracks, I couldn’t be happier with what they’ve done for me. I look forward to using them again in the near future. If you’re considering using them, don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Mastering from Nick

Wow. I just love Nick and Paul and Audio Animals. I have used them for several of my projects, and every time, they deliver some of the best, highest quality masters I could ever imagine. The prices are always very fair, their turnaround is quick, and damnit I just love them. Can’t stress enough how much Audio Animals means to me and my music. Without them I’m nothing!

Powerful Mastering Service

I always had the problem with my vocals sounding very tinny or strange when I mastered my songs myself. So I was really surprised how clear my vocals sound on the Audio Aanimals master. Also the bass and the synths have a very rich sound. Love it..

Professional Mastering Service

Very good and professional workers! Delivery of the track in time and awesome job on mastering!

Exceptional Mastering from Nick

I’ve used Audio Animals mastering service quite a few times and every time I send them files to master I am more and more pleased with the results. Back in 2013, Audio Animals mastered a collection of tunes that I needed in a short amount of time. They were able to meet the strict deadline I had and delivered excellent sounding tunes for me to play that night at the club. I am currently in the process of finishing an album and so far the two tunes that I sent them to master are so great that I literally can hear the “shine” on the tunes. Nick and Paul are brilliant engineers with great gear and attitudes. I always appreciate the professional demeanour they show me every time I speak with them. I am a very happy customer that constantly spreads the word of the quality services AA has to offer. Thanks again Audio Animals! You rock!

Exceptional Mastering Service

The work on Desert Prince took it to a whole new level. Incredible quality by Audio Animals! This is the 2nd Single that I have sent for mastering and there is no one else that I would like working on my music than these guys. 5 more Singles and a full-length album due for release this year and it will probably be mastered by Audio Animals.

Professional Mastering Service

After hearing the before and after versions of Nicky Havey’s remix to my track, I decided to try out Audio Animals mastering service. A few days later I received a very polished version of my track back, with some additional energy I hadn’t even realised was there. Very professional service, that I will use again and recommend to others.

Exceptional Mastering Service

Sounds superb! I am surprised more dnb/jungle producers have not recommended Audio Animals to me, as I am use to paying 3x the price for an analog master of this quality that arrives twice as slowly. My master is deep, clean and harmonically/dynamically set in a way I could not achieve on my own!

Exceptional Mastering Service

I absolutely love Audio Animals. They’re very considerate and deliver an amazing job. They’re my go-to studio for mastering services and I recommend them to my fellow musicians all the time.

Great Mastering Service

Great service! The master came back really solid and nice, love it!

Great Mastering Service

I have used many mastering houses (around the world) over the years but I keep returning to Audio Animals. The guys do great work, always the best sounding masters. Thanks Guys!

Great Mastering Service

One of the best masters we’ve received to date! Basses, EQ’s, everything sitting very well. Top notch!

What Studio Is Library Music Mastered In?

All library music is mastered in Studio A by Nick Burchall. Nick has had the pleasure of mastering music featured in some of Hollywoods biggest films and trailers. Including Frozen 2, Avengers End Game, Avatar, Star Wars and The Fast & The Furious franchise. There’s not a genre of music Nick hasn’t worked with for library music.

What Is Library Music Mastering?

Library music, also known as production music or stock music, refers to music that is composed and recorded with the purpose of licensing it for use in various media projects such as films, TV shows, commercials, and other forms of visual content. Composers create library music to be versatile and easily adaptable to different scenes or moods. It is often used as background music to enhance the atmosphere of a particular scene without distracting from the main content.

What Are The Benefits Of Library Music Mastering?

The main benefit of library music mastering is not just the exceptional quality mastering provided for your song but also understanding the clients needs are different from a standard stereo mastering service. Understanding how to print alternate mixes and that mastered stems need to line up correctly with the main mix. By sending large volumes of mixes to be mastered in bulk we are able to offer an exceptional rate due to the administration involved being far less time consuming

What Is The Difference Between Library Music Mastering And Mastering?

The main difference is price. Both library music mastering and our standard mastering service are mastered in the same studio, by the same engineer and using the same analogue mastering equipment. The reason we are able to offer such an exceptional rate on library music mastering is due to the volume of music that is being sent for mastering. The administration involved in downloading, setting up and sending back 30 songs all at once, compared to the administration of 30 individual songs, is far less time consuming. The time we save is the main contributor to why we are able to offer such an affordable rate on library music mastering.

What Is The Turnaround?

All orders will be turned around within the time frame selected when placing your order. Turnaround time is based on days the selected engineer works between Monday to Friday. We understand there are often tight deadlines with library music, if you have a specific day you need your master back for, please let us know when placing your order.

1 Working Day (returned next working day)
2-5 Working Days (returned within 2-5 working days)
5-7 Working Days (returned within 5-7 working days)

What Is An Additional Master?

By adding + Additional Stereo Master to your order, you will receive back all additional mixes mastered through the same mastering chain as the original mix.

30 second mix
1 minute mix
1 minute 30 second mix
Solo strings
Solo drums
Instrumental
Acapella

What Is Stereo Mastered Stems?

By adding + Stereo Mastered Stems to your order, you will receive back all stems provided mastered through the exact same mastering chain as the stereo mix. Mastered stems can be used for film and TV licensing as well as remix purposes and further production.

When Do I Pay For Mastering?

Orders / payment must be made before work on your song begins. This ensures our engineers, take the necessary time and care required to return you the very best master.

How Many Revisions Can I Make?

Library music mastering includes 1 revisions. Mastering revisions give you the peace of mind that the end result is going to be exactly as you want it. If you exceed your 1 allocated revision, you can always purchase more via our revisions and re-runs page.

If you need to change the mix in any way after mastering there is a master re-run fee of £10. This small charge covers the engineers time to recall the mastering chain and re-record the updated master.

Should I Leave My Mastering Plugins Active?

It is advised to remove all plugins from your master bus that effect dynamic range. This includes plugins such as compression or limiting. It is best to remove all plugins but we understand that some clients want to leave EQ or saturation active as it is part of their sound. The reason we suggest removing master bus processing is so that we have a mix that has full dynamic range and we are able to compress and limit at the correct stage of the mastering chain.

What If I Have Accidentally Sent The Wrong Mix For Mastering?

If work has not yet begun on your song, you can simply get in touch with us and replace the file.

If work has already begun on your song and you need to replace the mix for a new one. Two outcomes will occur.

If the mix is technically the same song and same mix but there is a change resulting in the song needing to be re-run. There is a small charge of £10 for a master re-run to cover the time the engineer must take to re-run your song.

If the mix is completely different or a different song altogether, a new order for mastering will need to be placed. The reason for this is because mastering will need to be started from scratch and the previous master scrapped.

Before sending your song always make sure that the mix is correct and the file you are sending is the mix you intend to be mastered.

Why Should I Get My Music Professionally Mastered?

Mastering is one of the most important parts of the engineering process of a song. Mastering can make or break a song. Too many artists fall at the final hurdle with poor quality mastering using either digital plugins or guesswork using AI mastering. A professional mastering engineer will ensure your music plays back correctly across all devices. Nothing comes close to a skilled engineer in a 100% accurate room using high quality analogue mastering equipment.

How Do I Send My Files?

Your mixes can be uploaded safely and securely via our upload form here. Bypass any compression / limiting you may have on your master bus before printing your mix ready for mastering.

File Type: Wav
Bitrate: 16/24/32bit
Sample Rate: 44,1kHz – 96kHz
Headroom: -3db / -6db

My Mix Is Limited Or Clipping Can You Still Work With This?

It is not ideal but yes we can work with a limited or clipped mix. The approach to mastering a limited mix is similar but requires a very precise approach in order to ensure the song is not over compressed or distorted.

What Will I Receive Back?

Stereo masters are returned in the following formats, if you require any others, please let us know:

96kHz 24bit wav
48kHz 24bit wav
44.kHz 24bit wav
44.1kHz 16bit wav
320kbs 16bit wav

Can I Credit Audio Animals For The Mastering?

Yes, if you would like to credit Audio Animals for the mastering of your music you can do so. Please credit Audio Animals Ltd and either Paul Ashmore or Nick Burchall as the mastering engineer. This is not required but is greatly appreciated.
