EP & album mastering
Releasing an EP or a full album? Every multi-track project is quoted individually, based on the number of tracks and what the record needs.
EP mastering
Three to six tracks balanced, levelled and finished so they sound like one release.
Album mastering
A full record shaped, spaced and sequenced as a single body of work.
Stem mix & master sessions
Stem mastering covers up to four stereo stems. Beyond that, the job becomes a stem mix & master session: your stems are mixed and then mastered, all in one session.
| Up to 4 stereo stems | Stem mastering | $120 |
|---|---|---|
| 6–8 stereo stems | Mix + master | $650 |
| 9–12 stereo stems | Mix + master | $1,200 |

What costs extra, and why
Sending a changed mix after mastering counts as new work: it means listening again, re-running the chain and re-checking every file. Revision work beyond the included round is $50/hour. We'll always tell you before anything extra is charged.
Before you order
Can I talk to you first?
Of course. Email a link to your mix and a line about the release, and we'll tell you honestly which service fits.
What happens after I pay?
You get a confirmation email with an upload link. Once your files are in, the 48-hour clock starts.
How do I pay?
Securely through PayPal, from the order page. Payment books your slot. Labels can ask about invoice terms.
Why is stem mastering more expensive?
Working from stems takes considerably more time — each group is processed and balanced before the master comes together.
Do you do free test masters?
No — we don't do free test masters. What we do offer is a free mix evaluation: send your mix before you order and we'll tell you if anything at the mix stage would give you a better master.
Not sure
which one?
Email a link to your mix and a line about the release. We'll tell you honestly what it needs.
