How much it costs to mix and master a track depends on two things: what your track needs and how many stems it has. These are our rates and what each one covers.

Mastering: €30

Mastering is the last step before release. You send us the finished mix (the premaster, a single stereo file) and we prepare it for digital or vinyl: weight, presence, definition and a loudness that holds up next to other releases in your genre.

If you later need another version of the same track, such as an edit or an extended mix, an extra mastering costs €10.

Mixing + mastering: €80 to €130

We work on every element of the track separately, balance them and then master the result. The price depends on the number of stems:

• Up to 8 stems: €80
• Up to 14 stems: €90
• Up to 20 stems: €100
• Up to 40 stems: €115
• Unlimited stems: €130

If you change something afterwards, say the kick, a new version of a track we have already mixed costs €25.

Stem mastering (Kick & Bass Mastering): €50

A middle ground between mixing and mastering. We master the track from 4 stems: kick, sub/bass, drums and the rest of the elements. That lets us work on the low end separately, with more control and precision. It works when you are happy with the mix but the kick and the bass don't quite work together. More on it in Kick & Bass Mastering. Not sure whether you need it? We explain it in Stem mastering: what it is and when it's worth it.

What changes the price

• Where the track is. If you are happy with the mix, mastering is enough. If not, mix it first: mastering lifts a good mix, but it can't fix an unbalanced one.
• The number of stems. Grouping by family (percussion, pads, vocals) means fewer stems and a lower price. Always keep the kick, the bass/sub and the reverb returns on their own.
• Deadlines. Our usual turnaround is 3 to 6 working days from payment. The rush service adds 25% to the base price.
• Taxes. Clients in the European Union without a VAT number are charged 21% VAT.

What you get

The premaster and the master as 24-bit WAV, 16-bit WAV and 320 kbps MP3.

How to start

Export your files as 24-bit / 44.1 kHz WAV or AIFF, with a clean master bus and peaks below -3 dB, and send them via WeTransfer or similar. We check the files, send you a payment link and get to work. The full process is on Get started and all our rates are on Pricing. If it's your first time sending a track remotely, we walk you through it in Online mastering: how it works.
