Audio Mastering

What is Mastering? — "Mastering is the last creative step in the audio production process, the bridge between mixing and replication — your last chance to enhance sound or repair problems in an acoustically-designed room — an audio microscope. Mastering engineers lend an objective, experienced ear to your work; we are familiar with what can go wrong technically and esthetically …. we may help you work on that problem song you just couldn’t get right in the mix, or add the final touch that makes a record sound finished and playable on a wide variety of systems." - Bob Katz

At Electrolife, we are strictly dedicated to the electronic dance music community. Our staff are not only acclaimed mastering engineers, but also active DJ/producers with over 15 years industry experience. Because of this specialization, we can offer a very unique mastering service that is specifically tailored only to the electronic music DJ or producer. We match our real-world dance floor expertise with appropriate signal processing techniques leveraging the latest in mastering hardware and software to maximize the sonic quality and impact of your recordings.

For producers, we can give your tracks just the final touches and adjustments needed so they are ready for their target delivery medium, whether it’s vinyl or digital download. We’ll make sure that your songs are both sonically balanced and have industry standard loudness, while still preserving excellent clarity and dynamic range.

For DJs, getting your mix CD mastered will help smooth the levels during your transitions, improve the overall sound quality, and ensure that the audio is as hot on the disc as possible without ever any overdoing. This process will give your mix a polished professional sound that will set it apart from others.

Music Production

Electrolife also specializes in electronic music production for both original compositions and remixes.

CD Duplication

Since 2000 Electrolife has specialized in providing full service CD production specifically for the electronic dance music community. We know exactly what DJs and Producers need - from promotional material all the way to retail ready products. Our prices are optimized for low to medium volumes and fast turnarounds which makes us more than competitive.

While price may be important, so is quality. At Electrolife, we take extra steps to ensure you receive the highest quality CDs possible:

- We use only the best Taiyo Yuden Japanese CD media that is ranked number one worldwide for its low error rates and highest playback compatibility. Other duplicators typically use lower quality Chinese and Taiwanese media to cut costs and increase profits.

- All of our CDs are written with Plextor recording units at low recording speeds which allow the laser to make a more accurate write. Other duplicators usually use cheaper CD recorders at the fastest speeds on the market which have been shown to produce lower quality audio CDs.

- Finally, our CDs are statically bit-for-bit verified against your master CD for accuracy and quality control.
