People have been asking for a before and after section at the site, I’m a bit split in my opinion about the usability of pre/post listening of masters (other then shameful sale tactics). For one; We already have a superior pre/post function. We’ll make a master for FREE and let you hear a snippet of that before you choose to go on.

And if you know what mastering is about then you wont be surprised how often a master leave the mastering room sounding pretty much the same as it come in, it’ll measure differently but the sound will be the same. The mixes that change a lot in the mastering stage are problematic mixes where the mastering engineer have to compensate for errors made while mixing. For us to put customers mixes on our site to show our magic mojo would be the same as tell the customer they suck and we’re as amazing as a unicorn (and neither is true).

In this pre/post example you can tell that post mastering you’ve grown hair, have more saturated lightning and got a smaller head. We kept the different colored eyes since we thought it brought out the persona.
