Our mastering approach

Amplifying the Character of Your Mix

You’ve spent a lot of time on getting your mix to sound as good as possible. We respect your vision and the integrity of your sound. We focus on the unique strengths of your mix and take them one step further. To us, mastering is both a creative as well as a technical process.

Our mastering studio in Berlin meets the demands of today's ambitious electronic music producers and mix engineers: Breathtakingly big and spacious sound that translates perfectly on large club systems as well as on small earbuds.

Here's what makes our masters stand out:

Impact

Your songs are going to sound finished, big, and impactful, just like your reference tracks (and most likely better).

We make your tracks sound larger than life without damaging the audio quality in any way.

Depth

It’s that “3D-sound” that separates great masters from good ones. We help you achieve that spacious yet transparent sound.

We give your songs that spacious yet transparent sound that's so hard to achieve.

Dynamics

Your tracks are going to sound punchy and dynamic, perfect for club systems as well as home-listening.

Here’s How Our Mastering Studio in Berlin Operates

First of all, we’re a value-driven business. We believe in collaborating closely, communicating honestly, and sharing knowledge openly. Our goal is to win you as a client for life, not just for the next project. Therefore, we do everything to make sure you have a great experience when working with us. 

Our mastering studio Berlin operates a bit differently from what you might expect. We‘re not interested in mastering thousands of records a year by people we barely know. Instead, our goal is to work consistently with a carefully selected group of ambitious electronic music producers, mixing engineers, and record labels.

Here’s our three-step mastering workflow:

Step 1: Listen

Before starting a mastering project, we listen carefully to what you want you achieve, what you like and don’t like about your mix, and which reference songs you have in mind.

We then give you valuable feedback (which might enable you to improve the mix), help you with the pre-master export, and answer any questions you might have.

Step 2: Execute

After we’ve received your correctly exported pre-master files, we go all-in on the mastering process. After doing the necessary corrections, we focus on bringing out the unique strenghts of your mix.

Our mastering studio in Berlin has received professional acoustic treatment and is equipped with carefully selected, specialized mastering gear.

Step 3: Improve

Our usual turnaround time for mastering projects is 5 work days. We do extensive quality control before sending you our work but some decisions simply rely on subjective taste.

We’re more than happy to do revisions for you because we want you to be 100% satisfied and work with us again. The more often we work with you, the better we can adjust our masters to your taste!

If you’re one of the people who want to make the electronic music scene a better place, we have something else for you. Besides running our mastering studio in Berlin, we‘re hosting a podcast & blog called Pick Yourself that helps upcoming music producers build a meaningful artist-career. Check it out, it’s 100% free.

Get Your Questions Answered

Do you work with my style of music?

We offer electronic music mixing and mastering services for all genres that fall into that category. Our studio specializes in genres like Techno, House, Electronica, and Ambient. Basically everything that can be called club music or electronic dance music is in good hands at Copilco Productions. 

How much do you charge?

Our goal is to offer you as much value as possible for your budget. To do so, we start every project with a few onboarding questions to find out what your goals are and how we can help you achieve them. In the next step we send you a detailed proposal including pricing and terms. Get in touch and let's find out together how we can support you.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIXING AND MASTERING AND WHAT DO I NEED?

Mixing means we receive the individual tracks from you (kick, bass, hihats, synths, etc.) and we work with those to achieve a great, exciting end result. Mastering is different because you only send us a stereo mixdown of your whole song and we bring it to the finish line. In essence, mixing is the step after production and before mastering. The main difference between the two processes lies in the level of control we have. Mixing allows us to fine-tune all the details of your production whereas mastering is more focused on broad strokes.
To find out whether you need mixing or mastering, please get in touch and we'll discuss the best option for your specific needs and available budget.

How fast can you deliver a mix or master?

Our usual turnaround times are: 5 work days for masters, 10 work days for mixes, after having received correctly exported tracks from you. This means you will get the first version within that time frame. We then enter the revision process which is usually done pretty quickly. Depending on how fast and precise you are with your comments and wishes, you will have the final version of your song shortly thereafter. 

Overall, the following rule applies: The earlier you book your session, the faster you get your songs. If we can plan properly, you will have a 100% guarantee to hit your release deadline with us.

What if I’m on a super tight deadline and need the final track as soon as possible?

Let’s talk. There’s always a solution and we can operate super quickly, if needed. Please keep in mind that in super urgent cases we have to negotiate a slightly higher rate, just to keep things fair for all our clients.

CAN YOU HELP ME GET BETTER AT MIXING MY OWN SONGS?

If your goal is to learn how to become a better producer and improve your mixing skills, we recommend you check out our coaching services. We offer 1-on-1 sessions in which we help you achieve your creative goals and overcome any technical obstacles you might be facing.

Can you help me export my tracks correctly for mastering?

Yes, absolutely. We will guide you through the process, give you a checklist of how to export things, and we’re there to answer any question you might have.

Will you answer all my questions during a project?

Yes, please go ahead and ask us anything you want and we’ll do our best to support you during the project. We’re happy to share everything we know and we don’t keep any “secrets” from you. If something needs a deeper conversation, you might want to book a coaching session to get it sorted out properly.

What happens if I contact you now?

First of all, let’s get to know each other. We can do this via email or in a short call, whatever you prefer. We have a few onboarding questions that help us understand what your needs and goals are. Based on that, we can identify (together) what services you might need, what budget you should set aside for that, and what the next steps are. Go ahead and drop us a message, we’d love to get to know you!
