The task

A small label had an externally mixed catalog album going to vinyl and streaming. It needed consistent loudness across formats and a cut-ready reference.

What we did

  • Remote attended mastering sessions with streamed playback
  • Separate vinyl and streaming masters; sequencing and gaps agreed in writing
  • DDP image, lacquer-cut notes and ISRC metadata check
