Broadjam News

Craig Anderton, who is Broadjam's partner in offering mastering services, now has his own blog on Broadjam.com. Says Anderton, "We're starting this blog to help de-mystify the mastering process, describe some specific techniques, and give some real-world advice. The better a musician understands what mastering can and cannot do, the easier it is to create a mix that's optimized to take full advantage of the mastering process."

Mastering (a form of audio post-production) is the process of preparing and transferring audio recorded from a source containing the final mix to a data storage device (the master). It's well known that quality mastering can make a huge difference to a recording. Now, Broadjam's Mastering Service provides top-quality mastering exclusively to Broadjam members. All mastering is either done by, or supervised by, award-winning mastering engineer Craig Anderton. Check out the Broadjam mastering services to learn more.
