Drop the WAV into the uploader. Ordered stem mastering? Upload the grouped stems instead.
Pay by card on Stripe's secure checkout. The order page shows the full total before you pay.
Listen on the systems you know and send notes. Six revision rounds are included, and each round usually comes back within a day.
You get a release-ready WAV master for each song. Vinyl orders also get a separate cut-ready file.
Mastering is the final and absolutely necessary treatment for your song. Only a professional sound engineer in a music mastering studio can do it correctly. Professional online mastering is not about increasing the loudness or adding some compression to the mix. Online mastering in our music mastering service is done to finally give your song the top-chart power and beauty of the sound for which you were preparing your composition during all the previous stages including mixing.
With mixing we combine all the instruments, making sure they follow the rhythm. We correct the pitch if needed, add different plugins to the recorded tracks or stems, and position each one of them in the stereo image. When the mixing is done, ideally, all the elements of the song are cohered together well.
After that comes our online mastering. A professional audio mastering engineer listens to the entire composition and corrects the collective sound, not the separate tracks.
Give the whole composition its best version of the sound
Work on the song in places where its sound needs improvement
Create the best master regarding the requirements of the streaming platforms
Of course, there can be more improvements that the specialist from online mastering services can decide to implement, but all of them should pertain to the operations that can be done to the song as a whole.
Sometimes, however, mixing mistakes do surface during online mastering, and they can not be fixed other than by returning to the mixing procedure and making amendments. And after that, online mastering will be able to make the song perfect.
Working with our online mastering is easy and convenient. What do you have to do to master your track online with us? Follow the steps described in the order window. You will need to send us an archive with your uncompressed song file using the upload button in the order window. And in 2-3 days per song you will receive your master track online from us.
You can also add the comments and thoughts you need us to know before we do the mastering online. We’ll try to implement any of the remarks you give us and customize our work to your preferences.
Surely, once you have received the master record, you’ll have an opportunity to check the sound we created. If there appears to be anything you would like to be done differently, you have revision options, we’ll redo the online mastering according to what you wish at no additional charge
Whatever the plans for your song or album are, whether it’s to get to the top of the world charts, or just to surprise certain people, or bring a smile to the face of your loved one, it’s always better to have it mixed and mastered by a professional sound engineer.
If the song is going to Spotify, Apple Music, radio or a playlist pitch, yes. An unmastered mix usually plays back quieter and duller than the tracks around it, and listeners hear that before they hear the song.
A demo for your band or a song for a few friends may not need it. A release does.
Mastering is also where the technical side of a release gets done: peak level for streaming encodes, the right file format, and an Apple Digital Masters or vinyl version if you need one.
During online mastering, a professional sound engineer from song mastering services will bring out the best sides of your song, working on it according to the genre and style. He or she will help develop the impression that the melody is meant to bring individuality, and the mood of the entire song. By that, the whole composition will receive even more depth and clarity, and the main theme will be enhanced. Some little faults of mixing will be mended.
On the contrary, what the application on a music online mastering website is going to do, is to apply some standard online mastering algorithms to your song. There will be no individual approach and no detailed fixing, just some general loudness and acoustic improvements that the online mastering algorithm would use also with any other music piece. If you try to master vocal online with the application, it will go with the same average approach. Seriously, your song is not worth being treated like that.
AI raises the floor, not the ceiling. An automated master is fine for checking a rough mix. For a release, you want someone who hears that the vocal drops out in the chorus and decides what to do about it.
Mastering at Major Mixing is $79 per song for songs up to 5 minutes. Add-ons and the multi-song discount are shown on the order page, so you see the exact total before you pay. No subscription, no hidden costs.

We listen to the whole mix next to your reference before changing anything. The work itself is EQ, compression, limiting and stereo adjustments on the mix as a whole: a low end that stays tight, no harshness up top, a stereo image that still holds in mono, and a level that sits next to your reference without the drums losing their punch.
Then the file gets prepared for release. The limiter ceiling usually sits around -0.3 dB, like most commercial releases, and you get back a WAV that’s ready for your distributor. If the mix has a problem mastering can’t fix, like a buried vocal or a kick fighting the bass, we tell you instead of hiding it under a limiter.

Whereas mixing is done to unite all the stems into a cohesive stereo track, mastering gives the final touch to your music. At our online mixing and mastering services, we apply the parameters required by the streaming platforms and perform other improvements to make your music perfect and ready for release
Make an Order*Price depends on the project size — calculate your exact price on the order page. Not happy with the result? See our refund policy.
Standard mastering works on one stereo WAV and costs $79 per song. When one part of the mix is the problem, say the vocal sits too low or the kick and bass fight each other, add Stem Mastering (+$50). You send drums, bass, accompaniment, FX, lead vocal and backing vocals as separate files, we balance them while mastering, and you still get one stereo master back.
Mastering can’t fix a mix. If your mix already sounds the way you want and only needs the final level and release prep, book mastering. If you have the multitrack and the mix isn’t there yet, Complete Mixing and Mastering starts at $133 per song: we mix, you approve the mix, then we master it.
Spotify and Apple Music turn loud masters down to their own playback level, so pushing the limiter past a certain point only costs you punch. Their figures (around -14 LUFS on Spotify, -16 LUFS on Apple Music) are player settings, not numbers your master has to hit. We set the level from your reference and your genre, not from a platform number. The longer version is on our Mastering for Spotify page.
Major Mixing is an approved Apple Digital Masters provider. The Apple Digital Masters add-on (+$10) gives you a master that meets Apple’s spec for the badge. Mastered for Spotify (+$10) tunes the master for Spotify’s encoding, and Vinyl Mastering (+$20) adds a separate cut-ready file next to the streaming master.
The standard master is done in the box. Analog Mastering (+$50) runs it through the outboard chain listed under Our Equipment for extra depth and glue.
Add more songs on the order form and the multi-song discount is applied automatically. Put the running order in Notes and we master the songs as one release, so levels and tone hold from track to track.
11,000+ projects since 2019, records with 500M+ streams, and credits with Universal Music, Warner Music and Spinnin Records. Clients rate us 4.8★ across 300+ reviews on Google, Reviews.io and Facebook.
Every order includes six revision rounds, and each round usually comes back within a day. Technical faults such as loudness off spec, distortion or the wrong file format are fixed free and don’t use up a round. Still not right after all six? You get a full refund.
Turnaround is 2–3 days per song, weekends included, counted from when your files are confirmed. Need it sooner? Rush is 1 day per song at double the price.
Not sure the mix is ready for mastering? Send it for a free track review. An engineer listens and tells you whether it needs mastering, stem mastering or another pass on the mix. No order, no card.
Mastering is $79 per song for songs up to 5 minutes; longer songs cost 50% more. Add-ons per song: Stem Mastering $50, Apple Digital Masters $10, Mastered for Spotify $10, Vinyl Mastering $20, Analog Mastering $50. Rush (1 day per song) doubles the price. The order page shows the exact total before you pay.
Please bypass all the processing from the master bus. Make sure, that the peak values are no louder than -6dB. Files should be delivered as a 24 or 32 bit .wav file at their native sample rates.
Yes, if you can. A released song whose sound you like, ideally in your genre, tells us more about loudness and tone than any description. Please don’t use your own demo or rough master as the reference. No reference? We will pick a released track close to your song.
Six rounds, included with every order. We do not count them strictly: if your feedback is clear and we are moving in the right direction, we keep going until it is right. Most projects are finished in one or two rounds. The only time we would quote for extra rounds is when revisions go in circles or arrive without real direction — and we would tell you first.
Any genre, from hip-hop, R&B and pop to rock, metal and electronic. A released reference from your genre helps us set the level and tone.
A release-ready master for each song: a WAV for your distributor by default, or whatever format your release needs. With Vinyl Mastering you also get a separate cut-ready file. We keep your files for one month from the order date.
Our main office is in Rubi, Barcelona, Spain, and our engineers work remotely from a few different countries. It is the same named people on every record – not a marketplace and not a rotating pool of freelancers.
Mastering is the process of finalization, and preparing the track for distribution. It will definitely help your music sound in industry loudness, equalization curve, etc. In some cases it will help improve your sound, but a mastering engineer can’t fix mixing mistakes. You can choose the Stem Mastering option if you feel that your mix needs help, but you don’t want to change a lot.
Stem mastering is a process where a mastering engineer creates a final master using pre rendered buses as drums, bass, accompaniment, vocals and background vocals.
So in this case mastering engineer has more abilities to fix some mistakes and improve overall sound. However, I would certainly recommend working to get the mix to be as close to finished as possible, rather than adopt the “just fix it in post” attitude.
Mastered for Spotify: the master is tuned for Spotify’s loudness normalisation and encoding, so it doesn’t come out over-compressed once Spotify turns it down to its playback level.
Apple Digital Masters: Apple’s standard for masters delivered at 24-bit and the session’s native sample rate, with enough headroom that the AAC encode doesn’t clip. Choose it if you want the Apple Digital Masters badge on Apple Music. Only an approved Apple mastering house can deliver ADM masters, and Major Mixing is one of them.
Analog Mastering (+$50) runs your master through our outboard chain for extra depth and glue on top of the standard in-the-box master. The chain, powered by Access Audio:
– Focusrite 315
– Fairman TMEQ
– Elysia Alpha Compressor
– Manley Variable MU
– SSL Bus+
– Manley Massive Passive
