Quality Sound

Have you ever experienced television commercials with louder volume than the show itself? Have you ever put your iPod on shuffle and noticed fluctuations in sound and quality?

When you play in a world of millions of songs, recorded in millions of ways, seemingly subtle differences in sound production can have obvious impact on the consistency of the experience. The extra care Muzak takes to master and level our music to ensure a smooth and consistent experience is just one of the many things that sets us apart from the competition. It’s something you will only notice when it’s wrong. At Muzak, we make sure to get it right.

As we purchase and license individual tracks for our digital archive, every track is thoroughly screened and classified for quality control. We make sure each song plays without skips or other data source issues, and we establish smooth and uniform transitions for how songs will flow together within a given program.

Once a program has been created, we apply a post-production mastering and quality assurance process. Since publishers produce music at different volumes and levels, the mastering process balances sound levels during song transitions, eliminating the need for you to adjust the volume from song to song. Once mastered, all programs go through a rigorous playback review to monitor overall program sound quality.

The end result?

Programs that you, your customers and your employees will enjoy without irritating flaws that detract from the experience.
