Audio Editing & Production for Music and Entertainment
Editing, comping and tuning, mixing to a reference, and mastering for streaming delivery.
Last revised
What music and entertainment are dealing with
Release cycles, platform-specific formats, and an audience that scrolls past anything that is not immediately good. Audio mastering to platform targets, music video and visualizer content, artwork, and vertical social cuts.
At a glance
- When the work happens Release dates, which are set with distributors months ahead and do not move.
- Who signs it off An artist and usually a producer, referencing against commercial releases they have chosen.
The mistake to avoid
Common mistake: Mastering loud for streaming. Platforms normalize playback, so an over-compressed master loses dynamics and gains nothing.
The rules that apply
Streaming services normalize to roughly -14 LUFS, which makes loudness a creative decision rather than a competitive one.
US music rights split between composition and recording, requiring separate sync and master licenses. Streaming platforms normalize loudness, so mastering to the target rather than as loud as possible is the technical requirement. This is a practical note, not legal advice.
