Your song was very dangerous, and could have attacked at any moment...
So we needed to deal with it.
We wanted to end the loudness wars, and teamed up with Hydraulic Press Channel and Darude to make an end to this madness.
You have probably heard of producers and DJs “smashing it”, but have you seen it? You’ve heard of music getting overcompressed to death
– but have you SEEN it happen?
CloudBounce collaborated with the Hydraulic Press Channel and Darude to see if excessive compression can actually kill your music. Try what happens to your track when pushed too far. Smash your tracks with our Hydraulic Press mastering tool and say goodbye to the loudness wars forevermore.
Check out what happened to Darude's smash hit Sandstorm, and a pair of high-end monitors from below.

Used by musicians, bands and studios in over 80 countries.
"I’ve seen and heard pretty much every mastering service there is, both man-made and automated, even done quite a few myself, but after having tested Cloudbounce I was left my jaw open: pretty damn good job, guys. Really, really nice. Open, defined, easily translatable to all listening environments from phones to tablets and beyond. Gaming companies and fellow musicians, take note!"
Petri Alanko (Composer & Producer @ Remedy Entertainment)
"I used www.cloudbounce.com for one of our latest tunes and the quality is there. I think its a great service for new producers to get their work mastered at fair price."
Kevin Somos (Local Heroes)
"I put all the demos I get into a playlist but sometimes even a good track might go unnoticed if it’s very low volume. CloudBounce offers an easy and affordable option to ensure your demos will be heard, like literally."
