Stem Mastering

Stem mastering can only be ordered after I agreed upon this. So ALWAYS contact me first in case you think stem-mastering would be appropriate for your music.

With stem mastering individual audio stems are grouped together for independent control and processing. Most of the times stem-mastering is not needed and will not make your master better. The maximum amount of stems I will work with is 5.

 Amount of tracks (including streaming master)*

Digitally delivered masters including a dedicated master for streaming services in 16bit and 24bit. Select the amount of tracks you need and click the 'add to cart' button.

* A streaming (STREAM) master is a master optimized for streaming services like Spotify, YouTube, Deezer, Apple Music etc. This master will be delivered in 24 it and 16bit.

 Additional masters

 Apple Digital Masters (ADM)


Official, approved/certified Apple Digital Masters.

Not sure if you need Apple Digital Masters (ADM)? you probably won't need them.

 Additional Vinyl (VINYL) masters

Optimized masters for vinyl. Digital masters are NOT suitable for vinyl cuts!

There is a maximum of audio which can be cut to vinyl and even though they are just rough numbers, they will give you some guidelines to keep in mind.

12 inch @ 33RPM: Optimal 16 to 20 minutes, max 25 minutes
12 inch @ 45RPM: Optimal 6 to 12 minutes, max 15 minutes
