TC Mastering

Mastering, mixing and honest feedback from someone who's been making drum and bass for over 25 years.

Prices

• Digital mastering — £55 per track. Loudness to taste, from conservative to extreme.
• Simple stem mix (4–5 stems: drums, bass, music, FX, vocals) — from £200 per mix. Ask for a quote.
• Full stem mix, in the box or through an analogue desk — from £300 per mix.
• Music consultancy — £45 per track. Feedback on structure, production, mixdown, songwriting and anything else before you master. If the track is already perfect, you get your money back.

How to book

1. Email dontplayrecords@gmail.com with the subject "Mastering" (or "Music Consultancy").
2. Pay in advance by PayPal to the same address.
3. Send your tracks as WAV or AIFF — 44.1kHz, 24-bit preferred. A self-mastered reference helps show the sound you're after.
4. Masters come back the next working day, sometimes sooner.

Up to three revisions per track are included, and if you're not completely happy you get your money back.
