Advanced mastering for targeted control over mix groups
The service up to 8 stereo stems allows you to finalize complex productions by working separately on the main groups: lead vocals, backing vocals, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, electronic elements, and effects. It offers more corrective headroom than stereo mastering and the 4-stem format while maintaining the artistic vision of the approved mix.
What is included
- verification, alignment, and reconstruction of the mix starting from the stems;
- specific tonal and dynamic corrections for each group;
- management of the relationship between lead vocals, backing vocals, rhythm section, and instruments;
- control of resonances, transients, and low frequencies;
- optimization of depth and stereo image;
- harmonic refinement and cohesion between groups;
- optimization of loudness consistent with genre and destination;
- true peak, phase, mono control, and compatibility;
- one revision cycle;
- delivery of the high-resolution WAV master.
File preparation
Gli stem devono essere perfettamente allineati, avere identica durata, frequenza e profondità di bit e ricostruire il premix quando sommati a zero. Devono essere privi di clipping e nominati chiaramente. Occorre allegare il premix approvato, una o due reference e le priorità dell’intervento.
Timeline
Estimated delivery within 2–3 business days dopo il controllo dei materiali. Eventuali errori di esportazione devono essere corretti prima dell’inizio.
Quando scegliere il mix completo
Lo stem mastering non comprende editing delle singole tracce, intonazione, quantizzazione, sostituzione della batteria o automazioni dettagliate all’interno dei gruppi. Quando servono questi interventi è necessario il servizio di mix e mastering.
File submission, processing, and delivery
After your purchase, you will receive a secure link to upload the materials for Professional Stem Mastering – up to 8 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.
