When it comes to releasing music in today’s competitive industry, sound quality isn’t optional — it’s essential.At AudioWave Records, every track that carries our name meets the highest professional standard for streaming, broadcast, and club playback.
That’s why we offer a full mixing and mastering service, delivered by our in-house team of experienced audio engineers — available to both AudioWave-signed artists and independent creators who want their tracks to hit the world with power, precision, and clarity.
What Is Mixing & Mastering — and Why It Matters
Before your track is released to digital service providers (DSPs) like Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, or Amazon Music, it needs to go through two crucial production stages:
🎚️ Mixing — balancing levels, EQ, compression, panning, effects, and tone to ensure every sound sits perfectly in the mix.
🎛️ Mastering — finalising the overall sound, dynamics, and loudness so your track translates consistently across all playback systems — from club sound systems and car stereos to phone speakers and streaming platforms.
Even great productions can fall flat if they aren’t mixed or mastered properly. That’s why AudioWave Records invests in high-end equipment, precision-engineered studios, and trained professionals who understand the science and art behind commercial sound.
Our Professional Mixing & Mastering Team
AudioWave Records works with a dedicated network of world-class audio engineers and producers who specialise across multiple genres — including house, drum & bass, garage, hip-hop, pop, and experimental electronic music.
Each engineer on our team has real industry experience, having worked with both underground and chart-topping artists. They bring years of technical expertise, critical listening, and creative understanding to every project.
Our engineers use premium-grade tools such as:
Analogue outboard gear (compressors, EQs, limiters) for warmth and depth
Top-tier plug-ins from Universal Audio, FabFilter, iZotope, and Waves for precision control
Professional acoustic environments tuned for accurate frequency monitoring
This ensures your mix doesn’t just sound good — it sounds professional on every platform.
Mix & Mastering for AudioWave-Signed Artists
For artists signed to AudioWave Records, quality control is a non-negotiable part of our process. Every master submitted for release goes through a comprehensive internal review before being sent to distribution.
Our A&R and engineering teams perform an in-depth analysis of the following:
✅ Loudness Levels (LUFS) – ensuring the track meets DSP and broadcast standards.
✅ Dynamic Range – confirming the right balance between punch and clarity.
✅ Stereo Imaging – checking phase alignment and width for all playback systems.
✅ Frequency Balance – making sure the mix isn’t muddy, harsh, or unbalanced.
✅ Headroom & Limiting – ensuring the final export leaves proper headroom for mastering and avoids digital clipping.
If a submitted master doesn’t meet our technical or sonic quality benchmarks, we’ll provide constructive feedback — and, where needed, perform a complimentary re-mastering service at no extra cost before distribution takes place.
This ensures that every AudioWave release aligns with global DSP standards and the high level of quality our label is known for.

Mastering Standards for Digital Service Providers
Each DSP (Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, etc.) has its own technical delivery standards — and failing to meet them can result in reduced loudness, distortion, or even rejection.
