Our mission is to promote the core values that guide us: quality, competence, ethics, market orientation, and continuous development. Mastering.it audio labs, formerly known as VBG Audio Labs, has been active since 1990 and boasts extensive experience in producing high-quality music across various genres: acoustic, electronic, pop, rock, folk, metal, jazz, classical, rap/trap, brit-pop, and indie.
Our modern and spacious facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to meticulously manage every phase of music production. It features a "Big Studio Room" capable of accommodating full orchestras and complete musical groups. We are recognized for our creativity and perfectionism, stemming from a meticulous attention to detail that distinctly sets our recordings apart from amateur or home-based approaches. Our masters are guaranteed to meet the standards of the global music industry.
The facility is managed by creative and qualified sound engineers with over twenty years of experience in sound, music, and the arts. Our stylistic and technical choices are the result of intense study, experience, and emotional involvement, elements that coexist in every creative endeavor we undertake.
