MASTERING

For EPs and Albums, a substantial £15 discount per song shall be applied, providing a cost-effective advantage.
All songs from the project must be sent together in order for the discount to apply.

You will be provided with the following masters:

*Instrumental and Backing Track masters will be provided if these mix versions were delivered in the first place.
**The delivery of the DDP image for physical CD distribution is contingent upon your provision of all essential metadata and specific request for its creation.

Enjoy the benefits of 2 complimentary revisions to tailor the processing,
with subsequent revisions available at a nominal charge of £15 per revision.

Should your song contain any explicit lyrics, a non-explicit version of the main mastered mix will be provided to you without any additional charges if a non-explicit mix version or a non-explicit vocal stem was submitted. Any additional master version will be a subject to a nominal charge of £10 per version.

Like in all professional studios providing online services, there is a “Payment First” policy.
This is not a personal matter but simply a result of years of experience in managing payments and invoices.

By submitting files, you acknowledge acceptance of the terms and conditions.

Stereo / Stem Mastering

Stereo mastering entails working directly with the stereo mix as its source, which may limit the ability to make selective adjustments to individual elements within the track. For instance, raising the level of the drums in stereo mastering would proportionally increase the volume of all other elements in the mix. Similarly, equalization, compression, and creative effects applied during stereo mastering would affect the entire mix uniformly.

On the other hand, stem mastering offers a more versatile approach by providing separate access to individual elements. This enables the precise adjustment of specific elements, such as increasing the drum level without altering the balance of other components. Stem mastering can involve just a few stems (e.g., vocals and instrumental) or multiple stems (e.g., drums, bass, guitars, keys, vocals), allowing greater flexibility and control during the mastering process.

The advantage of stem mastering lies in its ability to address isolated issues within one element of the mix without affecting others. While not every stem may be altered during the process, the engineer gains the option to fine-tune each element if required, ensuring the best possible outcome for your music.
