Mastering decisions for Hip Hop

Hip Hop mastering for authoritative low-end, vocal focus and controlled density while preserving the punch and personality of the mix.

Genre matters because the relationship between level, transient shape, bass, vocal focus and stereo movement is different from record to record. SPL uses references as context rather than forcing the music into a generic template.

What gets checked before delivery

Low end

Sub extension, kick relationship and build-up are checked for translation and controlled energy.

Dynamics

Transient impact and movement are protected so competitive level does not remove the groove.

Translation

The final balance is judged for club systems, headphones, cars, phones and normal streaming playback where relevant.
