Frequently Asked Questions
What is audio mastering?
Audio mastering is the final step in music production where a mixed track is optimized for all playback systems and delivery formats. A mastering engineer uses specialized equipment and acoustically treated rooms to ensure your mix sounds great on headphones, car speakers, streaming platforms, and broadcast systems.
Why do I need professional mastering?
Professional mastering ensures your track meets loudness standards for streaming platforms, has proper frequency balance across all playback systems, and sounds competitive with commercial releases. Without mastering, your mix may sound dull, too quiet, or unbalanced on different devices.
How long does mastering take?
A typical mastering session takes 1–2 hours per song. Most masters are delivered within 2–3 business days. We provide revisions if needed, and can handle rush orders for additional fees.
Can you master for different formats?
Yes. We master for streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube), broadcast (radio, TV), CD, vinyl, and any other format you need. Each format has specific loudness and technical requirements that we optimize for.
What do I need to send for mastering?
Send your final mix as a WAV file at the original sample rate and bit depth (typically 44.1kHz 24-bit or 48kHz 24-bit). Include any reference tracks that represent your target sound, and notes about your vision for the master.
