Trance Music Mastering
We are the masters of trance music mastering
I love trance music, and I love mastering trance music to make it sound it’s best!
Mastering trance music is as delicate as classical music in a lot of cases! This is what we believe and your music deserves the best. We understand trance music as we have mastered, mixed and produced it for 20 years, week in week out!
We have found some other online mastering houses just throw a limiter on to make it louder, yet destroy all dynamics and width within a track! This is wrong! Mastering trance music properly takes years of learning and experience mastering many trance tracks.
Mastering trance music is an art as well as technical. We use a mix of digital plugins and analog tools to get the cleanest, punchiest and most beautiful sound.
Trance music has a history of over 25 years, with beautiful synths and flowing pads.
To get the best, you need a skilled mastering engineer who knows the music as well as a highly accurate room and speakers.
This is so you can judge the low end perfectly as well as getting your mids and highs just right and spaced perfectly.
We have mastered, mixed and engineered many different forms of trance from uplifting trance , psy trance, hard trance, progressive trance, uplifting trance and euphoric trance, commercial trance.
It’s so important when mastering trance music that the frequency spectrum is kept clean, punchy and consistent.
This means it will sounds amazing on a large format club & festival sound system as well as radio, iPods and TV.
A trance mastering engineer who knows what they are doing can bring a good trance mix to something very special.
A true mastering engineer who is great at mastering trance will be able to give you the perfect balance of everything you need.
As we said before mastering trance is an art!
We have many years of experience mastering trance music.
At Space16 Mastering we use Wavelab Pro alongside a mastering chain of digital and analog tools.
As well as using our full range monitoring system, we also test your music on a range of other systems.
These include headphones, iPod Earbuds & a small Hi-Fi System. This means that your trance tracks sounds as good as possible on all playback systems. From Club to iPod.
Here for you and your music…
