AUDIOBOOKS: Quality Control & Mastering

The third and most critical stage of the audiobook gestational period. Mastering can make or break an audiobook. Slipped edits, digital artefacts, poorly located CD track markers, missing meta-data…the pitfalls are plentiful. We are proud to have a robust and experienced Mastering stage, including a full ‘listening-through’ process where every minute of an edited audiobook is listened to and compared to the original script. Once cleared, the audio is then mastered to commercial digital download-to-own standards (client-specific). For titles that requires Audio CD masters, we produce these to industry standard, including track marking and meta-data/ISBN information. We then produce as many sets of masters as required – various digital formats, audio CD, data DVDs digital files if requested, etc… All physical masters are dispatched to our clients using Special Delivery to ensure safe delivery, whilst digital files can be trasnferred via FTP, WeTransfer, or on physical DVD-Rom if requested. Should you require, we are also happy to master to Hard Drives, USB sticks or other formats/media.
