TESTIMONIALS
“World class mastering! Benjamin is a fantastic engineer, very easy to work with and manages to bring out the absolute best finish on every track we send him. Highly recommend!"
Matt Tondut // Valley View Records
"Benjamin has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the process of completing an album, he was attentive, quick to respond, and kind and courteous with any sort of suggestions and feedback my colleague and I had. When I received the finished product I was amazed by the quality. It is hard to describe the magic he added to the album; but in the simplest sense I could describe it as an added depth, smoothness, and clarity that was not there before."
Marshall Usinger // Be Still the Earth
“Benjamin is a first-rate mastering engineer and comes highly recommended. Previous experiences have made me wary about other people handling my music but with a straight forward discussion about the desired outcome, Benjamin was able to handle the project sensitively from the off.”
Chris Herbert
"I've used Middle Mastering for a few of my recent releases and honestly would say its the best experience I've had working with someone to do my mastering. I've found Benjamin to take a real interest in my music, that he really wants to help and bring my track to life in the way I want it to be. He always takes care of any notes or guidance that I gave him and ensures I am 100% happy before we say it's complete. He is always happy to make adjustments or changes if I'm not sure, and has even offered to listen to pre-mastering stuff to help and advise."
Sam Wardhaugh // Kieldfal
“Our mastering engineer of choice at Echoes Blue Music, Benjamin always delivers a top quality service. Highly recommended!”
Ben Tatlow // Echoes Blue Music

Please contact me for mastering rates for your project. Mastering is typically priced on a per track basis with incremental discounts as project size increases. The quoted price will always include everything needed for all release formats (streaming / Apple Digital Masters, CD, vinyl or cassette etc.), ISRC encoding and unlimited revisions.
There is a small fee for submitting revised mixes that require me to start the mastering again from scratch and for additional versions such as instrumentals & radio / clean edits etc.
