Compact Disc (and Enhanced CD) mastering is the final and critical stage just prior to the point of disc replication. Mastering typically involves evaluating and making alterations to the overall tone and dynamics as well as attending to the sequence timing, noise removal, subcode placement and inclusion of CD text. The end result should be a fully optimized listening experience - consistent, balanced and respectful of the artist's intentions.

Hanzsek A/V provides the perfect combination of high-end analog hardware as well as state-of-the-art digital signal processors to achieve the desired end result. The studio is a comfortable working environment located beneath tall cedar trees five minutes from Everett, WA. Clients are welcome to be in attendance while the work is performed or material can be sent and received by mail or FTP transfer.

Mr. Hanzsek has 20 years experience in the mastering biz with hundreds of album credits in a wide variety of musical styles and applications.
