Mixing & masteringfor artists who want tosound radio ready.

Mixing balances individual stems — vocals, drums, bass, and instruments — into a cohesive stereo track with EQ, compression, panning, and effects. Mastering takes that final mix and polishes loudness, EQ, stereo width, and dynamics for distribution across Spotify, Apple Music, radio, and all streaming platforms. Most artists need both, which is why professional mix and master packages combine both stages.

Professional human mixing and mastering typically ranges from $300–$500+ per song depending on stem count, genre complexity, and revision rounds. AI mastering offers affordable pay-as-you-go pricing with instant results — ideal when you already have a finished stereo mix and need fast loudness optimization for streaming release.

They are complementary services in the Mix·Master family. The human studio handles full stem mixing, vocal production, and custom mastering for releases that need engineer-led detail. The AI platform handles instant mastering and production utilities when you already have a finished mix and need fast, affordable loudness optimization. Many artists use both at different stages of their workflow.

Our services cover all major genres including hip-hop, rap, trap, pop, R&B, rock, metal, EDM, country, Latin, reggaeton, gospel, jazz, acoustic, indie, and podcast audio. Every genre receives genre-appropriate vocal processing, low-end management, and mastering loudness tailored to platform standards.

WAV or AIFF at 24-bit / 44.1 kHz or higher is ideal for professional mastering. For stem mixing, export each track separately with consistent start points and at least 3 dB of headroom. For AI mastering, MP3 works too. Avoid clipping, limiter smashing, or inter-sample peaks on your final mix.

AI mastering returns a finished, streaming-ready file in under 60 seconds. Human mixing and mastering typically delivers within 3–7 business days, with unlimited revision rounds included for professional releases. Rush turnaround is available for tight deadlines.

We optimize masters for platform-specific LUFS targets — typically -14 LUFS integrated for Spotify, -16 LUFS for Apple Music, and louder targets for hip-hop and EDM genres. Every master is checked for true peak limiting, dynamic range, and translation across earbuds, car speakers, and studio monitors.
