Amaro - Mastering Studios is a certified "Apple Digital Masters" Mastering House, approved by Apple Inc.
"Apple Digital Masters" is a branding initiative by Apple aimed at ensuring the highest possible audio quality for music available on its platforms, such as Apple Music and iTunes. This program evolved from the earlier "Mastered for iTunes" program and emphasizes high-fidelity sound reproduction by using high-resolution digital files provided by music producers and engineers.
Key Features of Apple Digital Masters:
1. High-Resolution Audio Sources: Music is mastered from high-resolution sources, typically 24-bit audio files. This ensures that the final product retains more detail and dynamic range compared to standard-resolution audio.
2. Enhanced Audio Quality: By using lossless codecs and advanced audio processing, Apple Digital Masters aim to provide listeners with superior sound quality, capturing the nuances and subtleties of the original recording.
3. Industry Standards: The initiative follows strict guidelines for mastering audio, which involves working closely with artists, producers, and mastering engineers to deliver music that sounds as good as intended by the creators.
4. Compatibility: While high-resolution files are used in the mastering process, the final files available on Apple Music are typically in AAC format, which is optimized for streaming and offers a balance between sound quality and file size.
5. Broad Catalog: Many tracks and albums, including both new releases and older catalog titles, are available as Apple Digital Masters, offering listeners a wide range of music in high quality.
Apple Digital Masters reflect Apple's commitment to offering an enhanced listening experience and have become a standard for digital music distribution, appealing to audiophiles and casual listeners alike.
