  • What is stem mixing and mastering?
    Stem mixing and mastering involve working with groups of audio tracks (stems) rather than a single final mix. This process provides greater control over the final sound by allowing adjustments to specific elements, such as vocals, drums, or instruments.
  • What format should I use to submit my stems?
    You should submit your stems in WAV or AIFF format with 24-bit resolution. Ensure that all tracks are properly labeled, organized, and exported at the same bitrate and sample rate as the original session.
  • Are there any level requirements for the stems?
    Yes, it’s recommended to normalize your stems to a peak of -6 dBFS without clipping or limiting. This ensures that there is enough headroom for proper processing during mixing and mastering.
  • Can mixing and mastering fix a poorly recorded track?
    No, mixing and mastering cannot correct significant issues in recording or production. While we can enhance the quality of well-prepared stems, fundamental flaws in the original recording or production may limit the results.
  • What happens if my stems are unbalanced or have issues?
    If your stems are unbalanced or have technical issues, we will attempt to compensate during the process. However, this might impact the overall sound quality. In some cases, we may recommend re-exporting or revising certain elements for the best results.
  • How many revisions do I get?
    You are entitled to up to 3 revisions within 1 week of receiving the final master. You can provide feedback on adjustments to ensure the track aligns with your vision. Additional revisions may incur extra fees.
  • How long does the process take?
    The time required depends on the complexity of the project, including the number of stems and the level of detail required. We’ll provide an estimated timeline when discussing your project.
  • Will my materials remain confidential?
    Yes, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your project. All audio files and materials provided will only be used for the agreed-upon services and will not be shared or distributed without your consent.
  • What formats will the final master be delivered in?
    The final master will be delivered in WAV or AIFF format with 24-bit resolution, ensuring high-quality results suitable for distribution or further processing.
  • Can you use my project for promotional purposes?
    We may request to use portions of your project for promotional purposes, but only with your explicit written consent.
  • What should I do if I need help exporting my stems?
    We provide guidelines to help you export your stems correctly. If you’re unsure about the process, feel free to contact us for assistance.
