Mastering Audiobooks
Once pickups are completed, audio mastering puts the finishing touch on your production. The audiobook editor will examine files to ensure consistent volume and levels. Equalization is adjusted and an audio sweetening process is performed to ensure a crisp, clear and smooth sound with optimal audio quality.
MORE ABOUT THE MASTERING PROCESS:
The mastering process will allow your audiobook to “sit” correctly in your headphones. Levels will not fluctuate and frequencies are adjusted so that the sound of your audiobook sounds great on any device. Low frequencies are cut to avoid rumble and extreme highs are adjusted to acceptable levels.
Mastering raises the level of the end-users listening experience so they can concentrate on what really matters - the author’s words and the narrator’s voice.
​
Many audiobooks today follow the guidelines of the Amazon-owned Audio Creation Exchange or ACX. ACX is platform where narrators, publishers, writers and editors can connect. ACX requires that all submissions adhere to their guidelines. The mastering process is the part of the procedure where all these requirements are met.
​
Audio mastering: $50 per finished hour: ($100 minimum).

Each audio file is optimized for sound quality and technical specifications.
