About Our Service Type
The goal of mastering is not to dramatically change your mix — it's to enhance what's already there, correct any tonal imbalances, ensure the track translates well across all listening environments, and prepare the final file in the correct format and loudness level for your chosen distribution platform.
At Beats By Wise G, our stereo mastering chain includes high-quality mastering EQ, transparent multiband compression, precision limiting using FabFilter Pro-L2, stereo width management using Ozone Imager, and final loudness normalization to Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDAL standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What headroom should my mix have for mastering?
We recommend -3dB to -6dB of headroom on your stereo mix. Avoid limiting or heavy buss compression on the master channel before sending.
Can you master a track that was recorded at home?
Yes — we master home recordings every day. While studio recordings give the best starting point, a good mix with appropriate headroom will master well regardless of the recording environment.
What's the difference between stereo mastering and stem mastering?
Stereo mastering works from your finished stereo mix file. Stem mastering works from multiple grouped tracks (drums, bass, vocals, etc.) giving the engineer more control. Stereo mastering is the standard; stem mastering is for clients who want more precision.
Do you provide ISRC codes or metadata embedding?
Yes — we embed ISRC codes, artist name, album title, and release year into the mastered files on request. Simply provide your ISRC codes when submitting.
