Mastering

MASTERING

Your music, fully realised.

Mastering is the final creative and technical stage before your music reaches listeners.

At Orko Productions, every project is approached individually. We refine balance, depth, dynamics, clarity and translation while protecting the character and emotion of the original mix.

We prepare release-ready masters for singles, EPs and albums across digital and physical formats.

WHAT WE DO

  • Stereo mastering for singles, EPs and albums

  • Tonal, dynamic and frequency balancing

  • Low-end, transient and stereo-image refinement

  • Album sequencing and consistency

  • Streaming and Bandcamp-ready masters

  • High-resolution archival files

  • Vinyl-friendly pre-masters

  • CD and DDP preparation where required

  • Alternate, instrumental and clean versions

  • Final technical quality control

Additional formats can be prepared according to your release requirements.


OUR APPROACH

Mastering without the mythology.

We are here to challenge the secrecy, inflated pricing and one-size-fits-all processing often associated with commercial mastering.

We do not sell artificial prestige, automated presets or loudness at the expense of musical expression.

Our approach is built on:

  • Honest and transparent communication

  • Fair, project-based quotations

  • Respect for the artist’s creative direction

  • Technical decisions that serve the music

  • No hidden costs or unnecessary services

Every quotation reflects the real needs of the project—not an arbitrary price category.


THE PROCESS

1. Project Review

Send us your final mixes, creative notes, reference tracks and intended release formats. We will review the material and identify any technical issues before mastering begins.

2. Mastering

Each track is treated individually through careful EQ, dynamics, saturation, stereo processing, transient control and level optimisation.

For EPs and albums, we also refine sequencing, tonal consistency, relative loudness and transitions so the release feels complete and connected.

3. Quality Control & Delivery

Final masters are checked across multiple listening conditions and delivered in clearly organised, release-ready formats.


DELIVERY OPTIONS

Flexible Delivery

Usually completed within 7–14 business days, depending on project length, mix readiness and current availability.

Recommended for albums, EPs and projects that benefit from a flexible listening and feedback period.

Priority Delivery

Usually completed within 2–4 business days, subject to availability.

Designed for confirmed release, distributor or manufacturing deadlines. Priority delivery never means reduced quality.


MIX PREPARATION

For the best results, please provide:

  • WAV or AIFF files

  • Original session sample rate

  • Preferably 24-bit or 32-bit floating point

  • No clipping on the master output

  • No unnecessary master limiter

  • Final track names and sequence

  • Relevant notes and references

Not sure whether your mix is ready? Send it for an honest assessment.


PRICING

We do not publish fixed packages because every project requires different work.

Quotations are based on:

  • Number and duration of tracks

  • Condition of the mixes

  • Required formats

  • Delivery schedule

  • Sequencing and alternate versions

  • Digital or physical release requirements

You will receive a clear quotation before work begins, with no hidden costs or meaningless technical upgrades.
