Services

Editing, proofreading, mastering.

The three stages between a raw recording and a finished audiobook. Commission them individually, or send us the raw and we'll deliver the master.

01 — Editing

Clean sessions, consistent room.

We assemble the takes you sent into editorially tight sessions: punch-and-roll cleanup, breath control, mouth-click removal, and consistent room tone across days of recording. The result is audio that's ready to proof or master without going back to the booth.

  • Punch-and-roll cleanup and take selection
  • Breath shaping — reduced, cleaned up, or removed
  • Mouth clicks, plosives, and chair noise removed
  • Room tone matched across sessions
  • Chapter and section markers preserved
Turnaround
3–5 business days per finished hour. Rushed job available for extra fee.

02 — Proofreading

Word-for-word against the manuscript.

A trained proofer listens to every line with the manuscript in hand. Skipped words, misreads, pronunciation flags, and inconsistent character names are returned in a clean timecoded report your narrator can take straight to a pickup session.

  • Full word-for-word comparison against the source manuscript
  • Timecoded error log — drops, adds, substitutions, repeats
  • Pronunciation consistency across recurring names and terms
  • Pickup verification after retakes are recorded
  • Character voice consistency notes (fiction)
Turnaround
2 business days per finished hour

03 — Mastering

Tuned to the retailer your title is going to.

Every retailer publishes a spec, and every spec is different. We master to the platform you're delivering to — ACX, Audible, Spotify, Apple Books, Findaway — so your title passes QC on the first upload and sounds consistent across chapters and devices.

  • Integrated loudness to platform target (–18 to –23 LUFS)
  • True-peak ceiling and noise-floor compliance
  • Tonal balance — voice-tuned EQ, de-essing, gentle limiting
  • Per-chapter file splits with retailer-spec headroom and silence
  • MP3 / FLAC / WAV encode to your distribution partner's brief
Turnaround
2–3 business days per finished hour
