Mixing and Mastering

Balancing, treating and finishing audio so that it translates across every system it will be heard on.

Mixing and Mastering at SM Media

Mixing decides how the individual elements of a piece of audio sit together. Mastering decides how that finished mix behaves once it leaves the room — on a phone speaker, in a car, through headphones, down a broadcast chain.

We work through both stages in our treated rooms: balancing and processing the individual tracks, then finishing the result to the loudness and format targets of wherever it is going, whether that is a streaming platform, a broadcaster's delivery spec or a cinema.

What the service covers

  • Multitrack balancing and processing
  • Equalisation, dynamics and spatial treatment
  • Noise reduction and audio restoration
  • Loudness normalisation to platform targets
  • Stereo and surround formats
  • Reference checks across playback systems

Typical deliverables

  • Mixed masters
  • Stems and split tracks
  • Loudness-conformed platform versions
