Hip Hop Mastering We get hip hop. More than half of our clients are rappers, hip hop producers, or managers of hip hop artists. We follow the charts,
we know the history, we even write about
it on our
blog. Whether you're going for an Atlanta sound, gutter,
pop/top 40, or an underground/"backpack" type feel, we've got you covered. Hear the difference that our hip hop mastering service can make with these before and after clips:

• If we don't think we can improve your mixes, we won't accept your money. Period.
• If you want feedback on your mixes before we begin, we're happy to offer it. Just ask.
• If we think your mastering goals are unrealistic, we'll tell you. And we'll do all we can
to help you improve your recordings or suggest other alternatives.
• No secrets. If you want to know what we did and why we did it, we'll tell you.

Think you may need more than just mastering? You may also be interested in our Stem Mixing & Mastering package, which is
a hybrid between our mixing package and our mastering-only package, designed for artists with fully- or partly-mixed songs.
Mixing from stems enables us to do almost everything we would during the mixing stage–punchier drums, tighter low end,
vocals more up front–all while retaining the essential character of your existing mix. Hear the difference:
