About:


Audibleoddities is a mastering house located in the heart of Oakland, California. It is owned and operated by Shawn Hatfield (Twerk), recording artist for many labels including Force-Inc, Mille Plateaux, Context, Merck, and Tigerbeat6.

With over 10 years of experience mastering everything from dance music, pop, hip hop, drum and bass, experimental, jazz, indie rock, spoken word, and folk, Audibleoddities has the ear for today's current trends in mastering, balanced with an understanding of both modern and past technique.

High quality digital and analog mastering services are provided at low costs bringing affordable mastering to the underground and independent music community. Costs are amongst the lowest in the industry. To save you even further money, Audibleoddities does not charge for additional modifications to a project after the initial core mastering session. This allows even the pickiest of artists to get what they want without the fears that they'll be exploding the labels mastering budget.

Internetcentric services provided to help expedite the process. Not only do we offer special rates custom tailored for the digital distribution market (Netlabels and digital-only releases), we offer a unique drag-and-drop web-page uploader or secure FTP access, and download of both test versions and the final masters. Convenient web forms are available to include notes, track titles, CD Text and ISRC codes.
