Allow 3 to 6 db head room.


"Hey Bill!  "This is the best mastering job I've ever had, sounds fantastic! What a difference!" - James Rosenburg of Franklin, Tennessee
Mastering is the final step in the recording process; "the icing on the cake!".

  • Mastering gives your stereo mix that glossy, professional, radio-ready sound.

  • Mastering imparts a consistency so your song sounds great across all playback platforms.
  • If you are offering songs on a Soundcloud type site or making a CD, mastering makes volume and presentation consistent song to song.


  • Mastering helps your song achieve the coveted "loud as possible" status desired by most of today's artists.
  • Mastering puts a fresh set of professional ears on your project. Changes can be made to even the sonic balance of your track or even add subtle effects to make your mix even better.
Just Dropbox us your stereo .wav mix to nashtrax@bellsouth.net , pay via Pay Pal to nashtrax#bellsouth.net and we will complete your mastering job, usually within a few  hours..

How To Prepare Your Mix File for the Best Result:

Never "hit the red", keep your master channel it below o db to avoid clipping a.k.a. distortion which is is a "fuzzy" sound on your mix and only gets worse in mastering.

It's best  to mix with the master channel hitting between -3 and -6db.

Do NOT add any effects to the master buss. 

We prefer to receive your mix as a .wav or high quality .mp3 file.
