Bolton Sound on SoundBetter

Affordable analog mastering for the DIY music community. Specializes in indie, punk, hardcore, emo, noise, electronic pop, bedroom pop and ambient music.

After more than a decade of touring, writing music and recording local bands, Nick started mastering to help other independent artists enhance and finalize their albums affordably.

Nick has mastered music for more than 10 years now, working with hundreds of artists from across the globe. The studio is composed of high end analog and digital equipment in an accurate full range monitoring environment.

Projects are only complete once the artist is fully satisfied with their masters. Revisions are free of charge, and free mix evaluations are offered for anyone looking for notes or suggestions.

Mastering rates are determined by the total track count of the project.

Singles - $75 / song
2-3 Song Project - $60 / song
4-6 Song Project - $55 / song
7+ Song Project - $50 / song

Additional Versions - $10 / song
DDP Image for CD Manufacturing - $50 / album

Metadata encoding, edits, noise reduction and revisions are included.

Pricing can be flexible, I’ve been in many DIY punk bands and I know how hard it can be to fund your art. If money’s tight let me know and we'll work something out.

    Is the second track I trust Bolton Sound for the mastering. Not only the work is excellent but also Nick did an outstanding job in a very short time - superfast turnaround!

    Nick did a great mastering work with my mix. He understood the feeling and intention of the song and made the most of the mix.
