Mastering is the final step in the music production process. It ensures your track sounds polished, balanced, and ready to compete in any listening environment—whether it’s streaming platforms, radio, or physical media. A well-mastered song enhances clarity, consistency, and impact, making it stand out among the rest.

It really depends on your situation. Are you confident in the way your song sounds? Have you checked it against similar songs on streaming platforms? How does it stack up? These are all questions that will help you decide what’s best for you. If you aren’t quite happy with the way your song sounds then it’s not quite time to get it mastered. Consider booking another service with me! Stem mastering or Consultation might be a good option. Read more here.

All I need is a stereo wav file! If you need instrumentals or alt versions mastered as well - send those and they’ll be mastered as well for an additional $15 per alt.

I can work with a lot - as long as there is no clipping or overages on your meters - if you see red on your output, it’s too loud. If you are using a mix bus, or a limiter on your master bus or mix bus, its ok to leave that on - but only if you are confident in what its adding to the overall sound. If you feel unsure, send one bounce with your processing and one without.

Usually a couple days. If you need something sooner, I’d love to accommodate.

Absolutely! Your vision is important to me. Let me know your preferences—whether you want a warm analog feel, modern loudness, or anything else.

I want the song to feel right to you. I offer revisions to ensure the final product meets your expectations. Let me know what adjustments you’d like, and we’ll work together to get it right.

Absolutely! I love stem mastering, and it can be a great option if you aren’t 100% happy with your mix or you aren’t in a place to pay a mix engineer. Read more here.

While automated mastering services can be quick and convenient, they lack the human touch and nuanced decision-making that comes with experience. They still haven’t taught AI to FEEL music like humans can. I tailor each master to your specific track, ensuring it aligns with your artistic vision and stands out in a competitive market.

It’s simple! Contact me to discuss your project, share your files, and let me know your goals. From there, I’ll guide you through the process and deliver a master that elevates your music.
