PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING

This service is offered to those who are preparing their music for mastering only. As for the mastering stage, your music needs to be properly mixed before any mastering techniques take place. In order to master a song, it cannot be too loud nor over-processed. If the mastering has already taken place, and it does not sound as clear as it should be then the material has been poorly mixed. A song should sound loud, fat and full after mastering, not the other way around before finalization. I highly recommend paying close attention to the following instructions below for any material you wish to have mastered because I will not start the mastering process if the song is badly mixed. Send me a message and I will respond with a price quota confirmation for your project. For more info, go to my FAQ page for any questions or concerns.

STEM MASTERING
$45.00 (per stem)

A different technique that is planned to use various groups of stereo tracks that are consolidated instruments from a final mix and improve its quality to a moderate extent. This is not the same as stereo mastering, but I'll be focusing on the group stems collectively, so the music can be translated with more space in the mix. Eventually, the mastered version will have more clarity; therefore, it will sound louder and cleaner. This includes advanced mastering: EQ, compression, peak clipping, ambience, stereo widening, bass management, loudness maximization, audio expansion, noise reduction, adjustments in volume, etc.

SINGLE-SONG REMASTERING
$55.00

This process alludes to improving and correcting the nature of a sound from an original mix that can be resurrected into a better mix. It could have poor quality at first that probably does not sound so convincing to the listener(s) but consider having it remastered to a close approximation to the original mix could make it sound twice as better than before. Louder with a more compressed version of the original.
