Our online stem mastering service allows you to master a up to 5 stems of a mixed project by a professional mastering engineer. This will make your mix uploadable on all streaming platforms of the market.
As soon as you have sent the mixed stems and they have been validated by our mastering engineer, we will start working on the master.
With a stem mastering service, a first version of the master will be sent within 2 to 3 days. We offer 3 free revisions to all our clients, without exception.
For stem mastering services, we work both in digital (with mastering plugins from iZotope, Slate Digital, Universal Audio, FabFilter and Waves) and in analog.

Here is all the information you need about the options of our online services.
Rush order: This option allows you to reduce the turnaround time of a service by 2 or 3 days. Unless for mastering services, which will be reduced by 24 hours. Please contact us before you tick this option, to make sure a sound engineer is available for a rush order.
Unlimited tracks: You have more than 15 audio tracks to mix? Then please tick this option to remove the limit and mix projects with as many audio tracks as you want!
Analog mix and/or master: This option allows you to add an analog touch to your mix and/or master. If ticked, we will use the hardware gear we have in our studio for your mix and/or master.
Manual tuning: You want to correct the pitch of your lead vocal with precision but without the robotic and digital aspect of autotune? You want to enjoy a natural pitch correction instead? This option will give you that advantage. We’ll use Melodyne 5, the leader in this field, to manually tune your lead vocal.
Stem export: If you need to receive all your mixed audio tracks separately, then please tick this option. We will then take care of exporting each track with all our audio processing incorporated. All files are exported in stereo WAV format.
Clean version: If you want to be on the radio, you’ll have to have a clean, censored version available. By ticking this box, you make sure you have a clean version on hand just in case.
Live show mix: This option will allow you to enjoy a version of your mix in which the lead vocal level is reduced by a few dB. This leaves room to place a live lead vocal over the rest of the instrumental.
2 stems or more (for mastering): This options allows you to master a mixed song separated in several stems (up to 5 audio stems). We will then use each stem to master your song and make it uploadable on all streaming platforms.
