More control than stereo mastering without reopening the entire mix.
Stem Mastering up to 4 stems uses separate stereo groups from the mix – for example, vocals, drums and bass, harmonic instruments, and effects – to adjust the main relationships with greater precision. It is recommended when the mix is mostly correct but requires adjustments that would not be possible by working on a single stereo file.
What is included
- technical check and alignment of the 4 stems;
- targeted tone and dynamics corrections on individual groups;
- management of the balance between vocals, rhythm section, and accompaniment;
- control of transients and low frequencies;
- refinement of the stereo image and depth;
- somma analogica o digitale coerente con il materiale;
- ottimizzazione del loudness e controllo true peak;
- verifica mono, fase e compatibilità di riproduzione;
- one revision cycle;
- master WAV finale ad alta risoluzione.
Preparazione degli stem
I file devono partire e terminare nello stesso punto, essere esportati alla medesima frequenza e profondità di bit e ricostruire esattamente il mix approvato quando vengono sommati a zero. Riverberi ed effetti creativi possono essere inclusi nel relativo gruppo oppure consegnati in uno stem dedicato, rispettando il limite complessivo di quattro.
Timeline
Estimated delivery within 2–3 business days dalla ricezione dei materiali corretti. Occorrono anche premix stereo, reference e indicazioni sul risultato desiderato.
Limits
Non comprende editing delle singole tracce, intonazione, quantizzazione o ricostruzione dell’arrangiamento. Se servono interventi più profondi è consigliato il servizio di mix completo.
File submission, processing, and delivery
After your purchase, you will receive a secure link to upload the materials for Professional Stem Mastering – up to 4 stems. Files must start from the same point, be clearly named, free of unintentional clipping, and accompanied by BPM, sample rate, reference audio, and notes on artistic choices. Processing begins upon validation of the complete material; missing or non-compliant files may require a new export.
Includes up to 3 revisions consistent with the initial brief. A revision corrects balances or details of the delivered work; it does not include new recordings, arrangement changes, full file replacement, unexpected editing, or a radical shift from the approved direction. Delivery includes the formats specified in the product page; sessions, presets, multitracks, and source files are not included unless expressly indicated.
