Paul Thompson's Mastering Solutions
 
  Have you ever wondered why your last recording did not sound as good once you left the studio? When you put it in your car you have to turn the volume way up? Do you wonder why your CD sounds muddy compared to other Cd's you listen to?

  There is a reason for that.....lack of Digital Mastering. Mastering is the final piece of the puzzle and without it your CD is hopelessly lost. Make no mistake about it, this is the most critical part of the CD. Sadly, it is often an afterthought with most artists. Many artists don't know what it is and ignore it. Worse yet, they let the duplcation company
talk them into letting them "master" the CD. The customer is left with an inferior job all the while thinking he did what was needed.

   Paul Thompson has a lifetime of experience in the audio field. Paul is one of the industry leaders in the field of mastering. You can rest assured that your CD will be done right when he is through. Your CD will have a hot, crisp sound without sacrificing the integrity of the project. Some music today is pushed so hard that the life is compressed right out of it. Paul knows how to get today's sound..with yesterday's warmth.

   Paul creates a sound for your CD that reflects the genre you are in. It will be tested and compared against the top CD's in your particular market. Paul is an avid Gospel Music Fan.

       MASTERING COSTS

Mastering can vary in time and costs. Needs can vary from artist to artist. We will tailor a package to fit your budget and the needs of the audio.

Most full length CD's run about $250 for complete mastering. This price is far below the industry standard for this level of work. Beware of the "quickie" low budget deals out there! They master in name only!
