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.

Stem mastering has been the best thing for my music!! Not only is the quality of my music amazing, but the price is unmatched.
The biggest benefit is the ability to fix my mix issues without starting over! If my vocals feel buried or my bass lacks punch, stem mastering allows for targeted adjustments without affecting the entire mix.
This is especially important in reggaeton music, where tight drum patterns and clear vocals are crucial.
My guy Matty is a BEAST when it comes to mastering tracks!!
For anyone with a tight budget looking to take their tracks to the next level, stem mastering is the way to go!!! ๐ฏ percent

The skills, knowledge, ears, and experience that Matty Harris brings to the table are top-tier! To be at Mattyโs level and still have the passion and mission to remain accessible to indie artists and labels is commendable and admirable.
I have used the stem mastering service for 15 tracks across three different artists and genres. Every single time, Matty delivers perfection. The cohesiveness, depth, and fullness he brings to each track are magical. Additionally, hearing how Matty works with the stems to elevate the music has been an educational experience in itself. Thank you Matty Harris!
