Sometimes mastering music evokes fond memories…
Recently, Alex Balzamà Senior ME at Swift Mastering mastered some Bhangra music, bringing back great memories of sessions in Southall, London, surrounded by incredibly talented Indian musicians.
The UK truly does have one of the most diverse and inspiring music cultures in the world.

Here at Swift Mastering we recently enjoyed mastering a live album for The Clause, an Indie/Rock band straight out of Birmingham.
Mastering a live album, we focused on preserving the band’s energy & impact in performance.
