Stereo Mastering

Why artists send me their masters

• 1,000+ five-star reviews on SoundBetter, Trustpilot, Reviews.io and Google
• Top 1% in mastering worldwide on Muso.ai, with 490+ verified credits including Still Woozy, 2Rare and GZA
• Apple Digital Masters certified, 20+ years in the studio

What stereo mastering includes

• I listen before I touch it. If the mix is what is holding the song back, I will tell you before we go further.
• Analog mastering through Bettermaker and Avalon hardware, with EQ, compression and limiting set for your song.
• Competitive loudness without crushing the dynamics, checked on the same monitoring I use for label work.
• A streaming-ready WAV, Apple Digital Masters certified.

What to send

• A stereo WAV or AIFF at your session’s own bit depth and sample rate (never 16-bit), with peaks around -3 to -6 dBFS.
• Keep the processing on your mix bus. It is part of the mix.
• If you had a limiter on the mix bus, send two versions, one with it and one without, plus a screenshot of the limiter settings.

What happens after you order

1. You get an upload link by email within minutes.
2. Your first master lands in 2 to 4 business days as a private link you can play anywhere.
3. Ask for changes by email in plain English. Stereo mastering includes 3 revision rounds; first-time clients get unlimited with the first-time code.

Need it faster? A 48-hour rush is $50.

Stereo or stem mastering?

If the mix is done and you are happy with the balance, stereo mastering is all you need. If the vocal is a little buried or the low end is fighting, stem mastering at $110 lets me fix that in the master without a remix.
