When it comes to plug in processing I have found the best way is to listen for many hours and on a great deal of musical material. I have invested a lot of time and work selecting what can be described as the "creme de la creme" of all the software DSP that is available for a mastering studio. A great deal of those auditioned did not make the grade. As such the selected plug in suite used at SafeandSound mastering is beyond reproach.

SafeandSound mastering studio is equipped to enhance audio, offer mix feedback (assuming you proceed), listen for technical issues, create error free master disks and ensure your music has had the best attention to detail possible. We offer a free mastering test file. (depending on available time) Any reputable audio mastering studio should have high end, large scale mastering speakers to ensure accuracy, full range frequency response and the capability of judging translation to large sound systems.
