Description
When selecting the stem mastering package, you have the option to submit stereo stems containing the 2 to 4 primary components of your mix. You can either provide a stereo track of your mixed music and vocals or submit stereo tracks of the mixed drums, bass, music, and vocals. This approach grants me greater flexibility in the mastering process, enabling me to fine-tune various elements that I might not be able to do with a stereo master.
Included Services:
- EQ & Compression: Precise adjustments to frequencies and dynamic range.
- Peak Limiting: Ensuring the audio doesn’t exceed specified levels.
- Stereo Widening: Expanding the stereo field for depth and presence.
- Loudness Maximization: Enhancing overall loudness while maintaining quality.
Submission Guidelines
When sending your mix for mastering, please ensure it’s in .wav format with the sample and bit rate at which it was recorded. Before bouncing the file, deactivate any limiting applied in your mixing session. For optimal results, providing 3 to 6 dB of headroom for mastering is recommended.
Benefits
This package caters to those who aren’t entirely satisfied with their mix but don’t feel like they need to delegate the entire mixing process. It grants an opportunity to refine specific elements and achieve a more polished final product without compromising your creative control.
Revisions
Included in the Stem Mastering package are two complimentary revisions. Typically, one round of revisions suffices to meet your expectations. However, should you require more than the included two revisions, additional revisions can be purchased for $20 per extra revision.
