A big thank you to @palindronesofficial for a copy of their new album. It's been a pleasure gigging together over the years and getting to work together on this record was a real privilege. Incredibly proud of how it's come out and getting to see how far they've progressed as a live act 🙌. Catch them live if you can!

Happy Monday everyone! 👋

I was lucky enough over the weekend to find this lovely D.A.V Broadhurst EQ. They have a fascinating history with Decca Studios and this one is a bit of a rare find as it's already been modded for more precise mastering duties. It has beautiful smooth sounding broad curves and I can't wait to get it on some records! Now to re-organise my rack.

Enjoying some time on the beach after a very busy couple of weeks working on my own and other people's music 🎶.

I'll be back on the videos soon and if you want me to come and chat about mastering on your podcast get in touch! I want to do more of them this year.

A huge thank you again to everyone who has trusted me so far this year with their music 🙏. Some truly great releases are coming out soon and I'm very grateful to have worked on them.

If you haven't met the other team member yet this is Mog the assistant engineer. You'll often find him sleeping on the job or eating biscuits. He tried to change a speaker cone once, that didn't go so well.

We are now taking bookings for July. Get in touch for the bespoke experience your music deserves!

I'll be returning to @uniofherts for the Sonic Herts Festival as part of their @uhcreatives 'Music Technology Alumni' Industry Panel on 8th May!

I'm honoured to be appearing alongside some incredibly talented people including @annaleigh21 and Darius Montague.

I learnt so much in my time at the University, and it's such a fulfilling feeling to be able to share some of the life experience I've gained since and give something back.

Today was a great post day. My copy of 'Internet Friends by @theendearing arrived! 🎉 I had the pleasure of mastering this album for Crayg a while ago, and it's a proud moment to finally get to hold the beautiful @newretrowave vinyl 🙌.

This one is also special for me as it features my own band @infravioletuk on the song 'Low'.

I've had a privilege of being friends with the lovely @yngempress gang for a few years now thanks to touring together with my band @infravioletuk so it was lovely to finally get to work on one of their new releases. This one was a bit of different direction for them too, and was a treat to master with it's atmospheric feel and dynamic build to the big ending.

Karen and Jamie of @palindronesofficial have been friends of mine through years of gigging together with my band @infravioletuk, so it was a great to finally get to work together on their music (some of which I'd been lucky to hear live already).

Mastering people's music isn't a responsibility I take lightly, especially when they work as hard on it as these two do (seriously I don't know how they do it all). I'm very grateful to have been trusted with their new album Chapter Two: The Slender Blade. Get it in your diary - March 28th!

Working with me 🤝.
If you are ready for mastering right away, you can use the form on my website but if you'd like to discuss your project first we can have a chat over video call or email. If you’d like to book a video call you can do that on my site when it’s convenient for you. 🎦

Having been an artist my self I understand that a lot the time mastering can be a bit of a faceless transaction where you send your files, get the masters back, and never talk to the engineer. That's why I like to hear about how the music was made, and understand what you have been through during the recording process to help me make your music better. 🎶

Once your files are submitted, they will be quality checked by me to make sure they’re up to spec for mastering, and I can provide mix feedback then if you’ve requested it. Your music will then be mastered and once it’s ready you will receive a link to approve the master. For this I use Samply which is a convenient player that can stream on any device with a browser in lossless quality. So you can listen to your tracks anywhere. You can also download the files if you need. ✅

At this stage you can provide feedback for revisions until you are happy with your music. Once you sign off your masters, I will make up and quality check your final files in all the formats you need for digital and physical distribution. 🎧💿📼📺🔊

I had a great time working with @graham_burgess on his debut single 'Ephemera' ft @marcus.moose mid way through last year.

He wanted another set of ears on the mix so we worked together polishing up a few elements before mastering the song. I enjoy these collaborative projects and Graham had a real vision for what he wanted out of the song. Enjoy!

Today was a good post day! Thank you to @miaardinez for working with me on her EP 'I hate it here'. Grab yourself a limited copy over at her Bandcamp! 💿 It's full of emo bangers 🔥

I was probably laughing at my assistant engineer Mog doing something silly. I have some limited space left in the diary for mastering in Feb and am now taking bookings for March! To book in email: tobycampenaudio@gmail.com // www.tobycampen.com

This was the first time working together with Jamie and I loved mastering this indie banger! He's a great producer, mixer and songwriter. Go and check out his website where he's always adding new tunes and demos he's working on.

This seems basic, but I know a few people in press and radio, and you would be shocked how many artists get this wrong.

If you send your song off for review or airplay and it's not clear who the artist or song title is, then you just won't get picked up. So make sure that is very clear, along with links to find you and your artwork.

Although most of us use streaming now lots of people in press and radio still have to handle files like mp3's, and they're often using something like apple music or VLC. If your files don't have the proper labelling here, they will just get lost in the library and again you won't get played or reviewed. You can add your own metadata using apple music or VLC (see screenshots in the video) 👆.

📻 Bonus points - if you're sending your song off to radio and you want your royalties paid, make sure to add the IRSC code which you can do with a metadata app or ask your mastering engineer to do that for you.

I absolutely loved mastering this EP for @thesekingswillkill last year. I've always been a big fan of alt rock / metal with a shoegaze twist and this one is really channeling the epic soundscapes and dramatic wall of sound moments.

It's been a privilege working with @miaardinez on her latest releases and here is another banger! As someone who grew up through the birth of emo music, this song in particular really channels that raw energy for me. Another great mix from @danieldaviesproductions as well. Enjoy!

Happy New Music Friday 🎉
Here is the debut release from @graffiti_band22 and it sounds incredible especially for a band with an average age of 17! Channeling some real Lou Reed, Velvet Underground and Bob Dylan vibes here (just in time for @completeunknownfilm ) I loved leaning into the warm analogue feel of this song.

Thanks to @jamie.amos for working with me on yet another great project! He took co-wrote, produced, engineered and mixed this one.

He met the band at one of his great songwriting camps, go and check them out at @moodycatrecords next on 25th Jan!

As a self producing artist (one half of @infravioletuk ) I know how hard it can be to finish a mix sometimes. That's why I include mix feedback as standard with my mastering service and this is there for anyone who needs help finishing their mix to get it ready for mastering.

I also offer mix feedback as a stand alone service for those who just want a second pair of ears on their mixes to be more confident in their decisions.

Back in the studio now for 2025 ☀️

The end of 2024 was incredibly busy, with an amazing trip to Australia for my sisters wedding and having more work than I've ever had going through the studio. I'd like to thank my partner in crime and @infravioletuk band mate @bethmunroemusic for her continued support and encouragement chasing this dream job. It's been quite a roller coaster of ups and downs the past year but 2025 is looking good 🙌.

My schedule is open again and taking bookings for Feb so get in touch if you want to work together finishing up your project!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who trusted me with their music this year 🙌 (assistant engineer Mog does care even if he doesn’t show it 😸). I got to help finish some truly great releases in 2024 and it’s a privilege to do this for a job that I’m grateful for every day.

This year has been my busiest to date and looking ahead to 2025 there is some incredible music in the calendar that I can’t wait to get stuck into.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year!

Get in touch if you want to work together making some amazing music - I’ll be back in the studio on 2nd Jan.

As an artist when it comes to making physical Media there are some things you need to think about.

VINYL: You need to decide how many tracks you're going to have on each side.

Recommended timings per side:

5": 33 RPM / 2 mins || 45 RPM / 2 mins
7": 33 RPM / 6 mins || 45 RPM / 5 mins
8": 33 RPM / 7 mins || 45 RPM / 6 mins
10": 33 RPM / 13 mins || 45 RPM / 11 mins
12": 33 RPM / 18 mins || 45 RPM / 15 mins

There are frequency and dynamic limitations to what you can cut to vinyl (and the intensity of the music effects the amount of time) so it is a good idea to have dedicated vinyl masters made so that your record sounds good. If you can, get your mastering engineer to check a test pressing as well.

CASSETTE: Similar to vinyl as you need to decide how many songs are going to be on each side.

C60: 30 mins per side
C90: 45 mins per side
C120: 60 mins per side
UR-150: 75 mins per side

The files you should send to have both vinyl and cassettes made up should be as a single WAV file for each side to make sure your transitions and gaps come out correctly.

CD: Maximum recommended length is 78 mins.

Your mastering engineer should make you up a DDP package that keeps all of your album information, transitions and gaps together. You can use WAV's for making CDs but you risk losing your sequencing information if the CDs aren't made properly.

Thanks to @nick.trepka for getting a snap. Sadly before everyone arrived.
