(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, July 09, 2012 ) Sunrise, Florida -- Today, established provider of audio and music mastering, Premier Mastering, announced its delight at welcoming celebrated mastering artist, CJ Jacobson as its Mastering Engineer.
Even with a global economy estimated to be around $160bn, record companies are still under pressure when the cost of launching a new artist costs around $1m, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, IFPI . It’s no wonder that many independent or unsigned artists and bands are opting to master their own work.
Premier Mastering is a one-stop-shop for audio mastering and audio mixing. Mastering rates from just $25 per song, and the company offers its clients the option attend the session in-studio if they wish.
“With the advent of social media, the sheer volume of unsigned talent is staggering,” said Jacobson. “It’s our job to provide these potential stars with the expert mastering of their songs, using a wide range of audio services to give them an impeccable, professional and finished sound. Whether the project is large or small, our mastering will provide them the foundation to market themselves and compete on a global stage.”
Jacobson, who has over 23 years of experience in the audio industry, already has over 2,500 credits to his name, having worked with major record labels and on motion picture soundtracks such as ‘Driven to Kill…Again’. In 2010, he also mixed and mastered ‘Hear My Prayer’, the Best Traditional Gospel Album winner of that year.
Jacobson feels that his success lies in his lifelong passion for music. “Quality pays, but it shouldn’t cost,” he says. “High-end, professional audio mastering is an inexpensive essential, no longer reserved for commercially-signed artists and bands. I love working with unsigned or independent artists and providing them with their own music, but witha blistering high definition sound that they’ve never heard before.”
Premier Mastering provides a range of audio mastering services, including the encoding of ISRC codes, PQ codes and CD text. Its audio mixing rates, which includes free mastering, start at just $80 and can take as little as a single day to turn around. Each project comes with the option of a Master-grade Gold CD, and every project provides a digital download of all tracks. The site also provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide to uploading music, ready for the company to master or mix.
