Online mastering from €29: AI-supported or fully manual

Smart Mastering for €29.00

AI-powered, personally controlled, and refined with selected tools.

An intelligent audio analysis creates the initial foundation for mastering. I then listen to the result myself, check the suggested adjustments, and selectively add professional tools for frequency balance, dynamics, stereo imaging, limiting, true peak, and technical playback reliability.

• AI-powered analysis of your finished stereo mix
• Personal hearing check by me
• Targeted manual fine-tuning with selected mastering tools
• Control of loudness, dynamics, stereo imaging, clipping and true peak
• 1 bundled amendment round
• WAV with 24 bit, WAV with 16 bit and MP3 with 320 kbit/s

Ideal for: Demos, first releases, social media, independent artists with smaller budgets and well-prepared stereo mixes.

Studio mastering for €49.00

Completely handcrafted and individually designed by me.

This package does not involve an automatically generated AI mastering chain. I personally analyze your mix, build the processing individually, and make every sonic decision to suit your song, your genre, your references, and your release goal.

• Detailed personal mix check before the start
• Individual processing of frequency balance, dynamics and transients
• Targeted control of spatiality and stereo imaging
• Reference orientation according to your sound preference
• Loudness tuning for the intended purpose
• Quality control on multiple playback systems
• 2 bundled rounds of changes
• WAV with 24 bit, WAV with 16 bit and MP3 with 320 kbit/s

My recommendation for: Official singles, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, major artist releases and songs with a specific sound goal.

For just €20.00 more than with Smart Mastering, you get a completely manual and significantly more detailed edit.

Stem mastering from €79.00

All stem mastering is done entirely manually. By separating groups like vocals, drums, bass, instruments, and effects, I can control individual areas more precisely than with a finished stereo file.

• Up to 5 stems: 79,00 €
• 6 to 10 stems: 99,00 €
• 11 to 20 stems: 129,00 €

Projects with more than 20 stems are priced individually. Stem mastering does not replace a full mix, but offers significantly more control over elements that are already sensibly grouped.

Direct comparison

Upgrade without paying twice

You chose Smart Mastering but after the first version you'd prefer full manual studio mastering? You can upgrade until the final release. Your existing payment will be fully credited, and you'll only pay the price difference.

Mix check and preparation

Before starting, I check whether your material can be technically mastered effectively. I look for things like clipping, heavy distortion, problematic frequencies, excessive compression, and noticeable balance issues.

If a new mix version would be significantly more suitable, you'll receive honest feedback first. Brief export instructions are included. Extensive mix corrections, editing, or restoration will be discussed and agreed upon transparently as an additional service.

Processing time

• Standard: 5 to 7 working days, including
• Prioritized: 2 to 3 working days, €19.00 surcharge
• Express: 24 to 48 hours, €39.00 surcharge

The processing time begins as soon as all required files and information are complete. Express processing is only possible with technically suitable and fully prepared material.

Change rounds

Smart Mastering includes one round of revisions. Studio Mastering and all Stem Mastering include two rounds of revisions. You review your master at your leisure and then send me your requests all at once.

New mix files, new stems, a fundamentally new sound direction, or additional versions are not considered normal changes and are agreed upon transparently in advance.

Additional Master Versions

• Instrumental Master: 15,00 €
• Acapella Master: 15,00 €
• Alternative loudness version: 15,00 €
• Vinyl premaster: 25,00 €

I need a separate, suitable mix file for both instrumental and acapella tracks. 24-bit WAV, 16-bit WAV, and 320 kbps MP3 files are already included in the standard package.

Here's how to prepare your files

• Please send your stereo mix preferably as WAV or AIFF.
• 24-bit or 32-bit float are well suited
• Keep the original sample rate of your project.
• Remove a final loudness limiter if possible.
• Avoid digital clipping and audible distortion.
• A general headroom value is not required.
• All stems must have the same starting point and the same length.
• The sum of the stems should match your shared stereo mix.
