About Me


Carl Saff Mastering is a full-service mastering facility in northwest Chicago. I have been tracking and mixing records since 1995, but mastering has been the primary focus of my engineering work since 2000. I offer extremely competitive rates ($5 per minute of mastered audio) and I'm happy to master one of your tracks at no cost to give you a sense of what my service can do for your music. My goal is to make sure the mixes you've worked hard to perfect receive the best possible presentation for your listeners, and I won't accept payment unless you are completely satisfied with my work.
