Mastering
Bridging the gap between mastering facilities that cost hundreds of dollars per song and fly-by-night project studio mastering in “studios” with abysmal acoustics, Finley Sound offers high quality and budget friendly mastering via the internet with minimal lead time, fast turn-around, and great customer service.

Mastering Rates
My mastering rates are $50 per song for unattended mastering sessions. This rate includes unlimited free revisions and a money back guarantee. If you decide not to release the master because you are unhappy with my work, I'll refund your money. No questions asked.
Instrumental or alternate versions with the same processing (and during the same session) are $25 each. Additional versions with different processing are $50 each.
What is mastering anyway?
Mastering is the final creative step before your project is either replicated and distributed as a CD or uploaded to a digital download service. It’s that secret sauce that makes a collection of songs sound like an album - polished and professional.
Mastering is also your last chance to fix any problems with the mix and improve the sound quality, clarity, punch, consistency, depth, stereo image and volume of your mixes. You would be surprised how many bad edits, clicks, and pops are uncovered during mastering.
Mastering is both a technical and artistic endeavor that can take years to learn. A poor mastering job can ruin your album, making it sound over-compressed, fatiguing or down right distorted.
Your music deserves special attention!
Mixing
This service is perfect for the home recordist using a home recording studio or project studio for tracking. If you are happy with the performances you’ve captured but are having trouble nailing the perfect mix, I can help.
Maybe you feel like you’ve lost all perspective and cannot honestly judge if the kick drum is too loud, if the vocals really need that EQ bump at 2kHz, or perhaps you simply want to hand off the project to someone else to mix.
I have years of experience mixing and can take your raw tracks and turn them into a cohesive, professional sounding mix.
