MASTERING
What You Get
**FREE mix critique included with every order!!**
When you book my mastering service, I will listen and give you a critique of your mix for FREE. I'll alert you to any issues you should address before I even begin, to ensure you get the most out of mastering.
STEREO MASTERING
Stereo Mastering is the standard method of mastering a song that has been exported as a single stereo file of the final mix.
This is the final step in the process before duplication and distribution. In this step I will ensure the dynamics are controlled, the frequency balance is smooth, and the loudness level is appropriate.
This is the best option for you if your mix sounds exactly the way you want it to and you are ready to have it mastered as is.
How to prepare your track for Stereo Mastering
Send me one 24 bit stereo file of your final mix.
Remove any compressors or limiters from the main output channel before exporting.
Ensure that the highest peak does not exceed -4 dBFS (more headroom is better).

STEMS MASTERING
Stems Mastering is similar to Stereo Mastering with the added benefit of having more control of the different groups of elements in the mix.
Stems Mastering allows processing to be applied to one area without affecting the rest of the mix. This could be extremely useful for taming wild peaks, smoothing out harsh frequencies or widening certain elements without affecting the rest of the mix.
This is the best option for you if your mix sounds great but you want to give your mastering engineer greater control to ensure the best possible results.
How to prepare your track for Stems Mastering
Send me up to six 24 bit stereo subgroups of tracks.
For example:
1. Kick drum
2. Bass
3. All drums & percussion except kick
4. All other instruments
5. Vocals
*Any effects should be exported together with the instrument that is affected.
Remove any compressors or limiters from the main output channel before exporting.
Ensure that the highest peak does not exceed -4 dBFS (more headroom is better).
