Among the World’s Best … Equipped for Your Success … Audio Engineering Services Tuned to Your Sound and Budget
You’ve just finished your recording session and put together your final mix. It’s taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get your music this far, but there’s one more important step to take – the mastering process – and you know how important it is to get this last step right.
Globalization and the Internet are making it harder for the traditional recording-industry gatekeepers to control the tidal wave of world music that doesn’t come out of Los Angeles, London, New York, or Nashville.
It’s tearing down the walls that have kept millions of musicians and sound engineers just like you from finding their biggest potential audience – their rightful place on the world stage. At long last, you can make your own way in the music world without waiting for music industry insiders to finally discover your talent as an artist, engineer, or producer.
An explosion of online mastering services is freeing the music from the “gatekeepers”, but also makes it difficult to find the right mastering engineer for your sound, your budget, and your time frame.
The top mastering engineers cost about $200 USD an hour, which puts their studios out of reach for most musicians and recording engineers outside of the most lucrative levels of the music industry. And with so many big-name clients to work for, you’re more likely to get an assistant than the actual master.
On the other hand, you can find so-called “mastering engineers” who only charge $15 an hour. These guys are often just learning their trade as they experiment on your music and use subpar gear (if any…) instead of the professional mastering-grade equipment.
Do you really want to risk turning your music into a muddy, harsh mess at this crucial stage of production?
Your music deserves personal, professional mastering and audio engineering services from Sonic Science Lab – the Sweet Spot of mastering and audio engineering.
Our location in Poland, our pricing, and our standing in the marketplace are like a back-stage pass to the kind of high-end equipment and expertise that top rock stars, opera divas, and record-company producers enjoy in the US and UK. But we do it for less and with more individualized attention than you are likely to find with a big-name mastering studio.
Sonic Science Lab brings the standards of the best professional mastering engineers from the United States to the rest of the world. We’ve learned from them, so that we can work for you at the highest levels of technical and artistic expertise.

“The fact is Artur has a natural talent”
– Richard Mendelson, Senior Faculty Member at Berklee College of Music
You can count on having your project handled from start to finish by our lead mastering engineer, Artur Stawski. You can read more about Artur on our ABOUT page.
The top mastering studios in the world can’t always guarantee that the lead mastering engineer will spend much time working with your audio because that lead engineer is dedicated to serving the studio’s long-established clientele or working directly with the big record companies.
And since most of the top studios are working on an hourly basis, the lead mastering engineer is naturally going to spend most of his time where he can make the most money. And working with lesser known artists and producers is usually less profitable.
More likely, you will work with the mastering master’s protégé. With the training we have had from the best in the business, we are essentially giving you that same level of quality at a significantly lower price. With Sonic Science Lab, you will always get our best mastering engineer.
While our mastering studio has been open to a limited clientele since 2018, Artur’s experience with audio engineering and high-tech spans nearly four decades. Earning an engineering degree from the University of Warsaw in 1997, Artur has spent years supporting top international technology and engineering companies such as Sun Microsystems. Artur brings as much professionalism and engineering expertise to the mastering process as you will find at the highest levels of any industry!
Part of what makes us stand out from the crowd of online mastering studios is our ethics. Sonic Science Lab grew out of a love for music, and that love is still our guiding principle.
We pledge to improve the sound and “finish” of your recordings without removing or blurring the soul within your sound. Sonic Science Lab is dedicated to helping you bring out the best in your audio – your music your way. We work closely with our clients to ensure that we preserve your vision for what your music will ultimately sound like. Read more about our ETHICS.
As a musician, music producer, or sound engineer, you’re familiar with the sweet spot concept when it comes to stereo imaging. With the monitors positioned just right, there is always that one spot in a listening space where you can have perfect soundstage– the listening sweet spot.
As a mastering engineer, it was crucial when I set up my studio to put my ears right in the middle of the Sweet Spot. As a musician or engineer looking for mastering services, however, it is imperative that you find the right price and level of expertise for your audio engineering needs.
Sonic Science Lab provides the Sweet Spot for ideal price and professionalism. The top-dollar studios can end up costing you between $1,000-S5,000 USD by the time the work is finished on your album. On the other end of the spectrum, you can find so-called mastering studios that will cluelessly stuff your mixes through a maximizer plugin in a bedroom for $15 or less, but you will be able to tell the difference between the cheap stuff and our affordable, but high-quality mastering.
So now you have the full Sonic Science Lab story:
Why waste time on inexperienced engineers who take your money just so that they can learn their craft on your music? Why spend money on top US and UK mastering studios when you can have your music mastered with the same quality gear by an engineer who has already learned his craft from the masters of mastering?
For about $600 USD (excluding discounts that may apply), you can have a 10-song album professionally mastered by Sonic Science Lab.
You’ve made it this far by putting your all into your music. The mastering process is not the place to skimp. It’s the last step for real quality control. But now you don’t have to wait in line behind big-name rock stars for your shot at high-quality, professional mastering services.
When you come back with your second album project, we can offer you further discounts to help you save up to even 50%. Getting to know your music often makes the next project go faster on our end, so just ask us before you upload and pay for your next album with us. We’ll let you know if you qualify.
