Mastering the new SideFields album
Every journey comes to an end, and in this instance - an album always ends up on that day you master it.
Back in the day, the process of mastering used to be crucial and it was there to ensure the pressing of the vinyl records would not go wrong and to match the sound that's been achieved in the studio to the sound on the actual record. These days, I find mastering to be just an excuse for loudness wars. However, there is a unifying element to it when tying a few songs together as a collection. I kept my expectations low, but after the mastering session it felt like... it was complete! Watch this space for more.
