Song Mastering by Matt Kay on SoundBetter

Budget Mastering. My mastered tracks featured on Spotify Editorial Playlists, and has generated over 650K streams so far across Spotify, Apple, Soundcloud, Pandora, Youtube, and all platforms.

I have worked as an audio engineer and musician for most of my adult life, and for the better part of a decade, have mastered tracks that have generated over 650,000 streams on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, iTunes, Youtube, Soundcloud, and many more platforms (DSPs) and a few of my tracks have been featured on Spotify Editorial Playlists!

I pay attention to detail and use a digital mastering process that adheres to the tone and feel of the track. For rock songs, need it louder and to have more punch? For EDM tracks, need that pulsating beat and bass to bring out the track feel? For calm ambient pieces, need more dynamic range to be at the forefront?

I will ensure your mastered track sounds its best. I will even email some info on how to best promote your tracks!
