Here’s What I Can Do For You
I’ll master your tracks to perfections in record time so you can release faster,
sound professional and get the attention your music deserves.
Mastering
DIGITAL MASTERING: $60 PER TRACK
If you have more than one version of the same song, the first version’s mastering fee will be $60, but each additional version will be only $30 (radio edit, instrumental, acapella, performance track, etc). This reduced rate only applies if ALL versions are mastered at the same time.
This price includes: studio time, editing time, and DDP master (if applicable). “Per track” or “per song” in this instance refers to songs of standard length for commercially popular compositions. For very long tracks, such as symphonic selections, please contact us for an exact estimate.
We offer package deals for full albums/mixtapes. Contact us for details.
Restoration
In this era of digital technology may seem strange to take care of vinyl records, cassettes and tapes, but it is well known to audio experts that the sound quality contained in these media is very high (in many cases greater than the CD itself, not to mention comparing with mp3) and sometimes we are in the presence of masterpieces to be preserved.
At L. Nix Mastering, we offer restoration of the content: to broaden up considerably the clarity and the sonic performance of a sound track, removing noise artifacts (pops, clicks, crackle, hiss and hum) and improving the response across all frequencies through the use of filters and equalizers.
Radio Editing Services
Vinyl Mastering
VINYL MASTERING: $60 PER TRACK (if mastering for vinyl only)
$30 PER TRACK (if mastering for vinyl AND digital at the same time)
Mastering for vinyl presents a unique set of challenges compared to mastering for digital platforms. Vinyl imposes technical limitations on the extent to which a mastering engineer can manipulate the audio. Unlike digital masters, which can have a 16-bit word length and be pushed to be as loud and limited as desired, vinyl masters must conform to the physical constraints imposed by the cutting head of the lathe. This often leads to heavily clipped masters, a common practice in digital formats but unsuitable for physical records.
Nix Mastering has been a leader in vinyl mastering since the early 1970s. Our expertise in this specialized field allows us to provide cutting-edge solutions for achieving the highest quality audio on your vinyl records. We offer meticulously prepared tracks for lathe cutting, ensuring the highest resolution possible. Our mastered files can be delivered directly to the cutting engineer, ready for immediate use.
In the rare event that adjustments are needed, our team is committed to making any necessary changes at no extra cost to you. Trust L. Nix Mastering to deliver unparalleled expertise and service for all your vinyl mastering needs.

I’m a professional audio mastering engineer with over 30 years of experience working with every genre around the world
Your music deserves more than an algorithm.
I’ve been mastering records in Memphis since before most plugins existed. My dad Larry
cut tracks with Al Green, Isaac Hayes, and The Staple Singers at Stax.
I grew up in that world, and I’ve spent my career carrying that standard forward. And in
the age of AI, I believe that matters more than ever.
The finest artists in the music business depend on us to bring out the very best in their music. We’ve mastered Grammy and Oscar winning projects in just about every genre including hip hop, rock, R&B, blues, and even comedy. Our mastering services will bring out the “magic” in your music!!
