Does your music truly compete?

Today's music industry is a completely different playing field than it used to be. Whether you're a major record label or an independent music artist, today you have just one chance to grab a listener's attention and get them to click "Buy Now" or “Add To Playlist.” What is the most important ingredient in capturing someone? THE SOUND. Unless you can compete sonically with the best of the Billboard Top 100, you're letting customers slip away. Human beings remember the most important, defining moments of their lives through music… will your music even be remembered?

Proper audio mastering of your music is the key to success.

Cphonic Online Mastering is an online mixing and mastering recording studio located in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC area, designed to give your music the competitive edge you need in today's world. Created by producer-engineer Kevin McNoldy, Cphonic provides audiophile, high-end online music mastering engineering for audio CD, online releases, film sound, podcasts, and television sound.

The normal price is $100 per song, but you can save 25% by signing up for our email newsletter, so your rate is $75 per song master. And that discount applies for as long as you're signed up! There are no hidden fees, no strings attached, just professional audio mastering with a multi-platinum-selling engineer.

Below, you’ll find links and videos to just a few of the thousands of projects that Kevin has produced, engineered, mixed, and / or mastered over the years. From Dave Matthews, to Howie D of The Backstreet Boys, to Mary Chapin Carpenter, to Sissy Spacek, to virtually every major record label, he’s worked with tons of artists! See the Past Work and Testimonials pages for even more, and see Kevin’s Bio for more details on his career. And, scroll further down for information on Kevin’s work outside of mastering: mixing, production, training, and more. You can also read more details on why Cphonic is the best choice for your audio mastering needs.

What makes Cphonic different from other mastering studios?

#1: Owner Kevin McNoldy has over 30 years of experience as a multi-platinum music producer, recording engineer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, mixing engineer, and mastering engineer. His proven track record of successful work means he is able to bring out the best in your songs. Experience counts!

#2: Kevin's education from Berklee College of Music and long history of major recording studio facility builds gives him the unique perspective of designing, constructing, and wiring Cphonic himself, to the absolute highest standards (Kevin previously built successful recording studios in Los Angeles, Nashville, Florida, and Virginia. His last commercial facility, Crystalphonic, [designed by acoustic expert Roger D’Arcy of the RA Design Group of London], was one of the largest and most well-equipped studios ever created on the East Coast). This is enhanced by an incredible world-class mastering equipment collection and absolutely perfect acoustics. Education counts!
