Online music mastering is the final stage in the music production process. It involves enhancing and preparing your audio tracks for distribution, ensuring they sound polished and cohesive across different playback systems.

Online mastering offers convenience, allowing you to submit your tracks digitally. It also provides access to professional mastering services regardless of your location, and often offers a quicker turnaround.

I accept the highest possible quality WAV/AIFF (PCM) files. Ensure that the exported file matches the original recording specifications; for example, if recorded at 48kHz, export at that level. I have a guide that explains my 5 Top Tips to Prepare a Mix for Mastering. Unfortunately, I cannot accept MP3 files, as this compressed format is not suitable for mastering. If MP3 is your only copy, please inform me, and we can discuss potential solutions. Preferably, submit files in 32Bit Float or dithered 24Bit formats. If you need assistance with preparing your mix files, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. Ensure that your mix doesn't clip or go over 0dBFS (decibels full scale) to maintain optimal audio quality during the mastering process. Leave one to two seconds of silence before the first waveform (start point) of the track and also after the final audio. Take care to ensure that reverb tails and sustained notes are not cut off. All tracks should be correctly labeled with a song title. For albums or EPs, please number the tracks in order (e.g., 01, 02) to facilitate organisation and sequencing.

You can easily submit your tracks through my online platform. After paying your deposit, you'll be guided through the simple process of uploading your files securely.

The turnaround time depends on factors like the complexity of the project and my current workload. Generally, I strive for an efficient turnaround while ensuring the highest quality.
