FAQ

+Why is your pricing so accessible?

Because the people I want to work with — emerging producers, small labels, vinyl-first acts — shouldn't be priced out of solid mastering. I'm self-taught: a producer who learned mastering through years of vinyl work and label running. I've handled the mastering for 5 Universos Records since 2021 and master every Vyasa Discos vinyl in my own catalog (45+ records). The chain is real; the pricing is intentional.

+Will the track still feel like mine?

Yes. Mastering is finalization, not re-mixing. Think of a meal you cooked and a chef plating it: same dish, more bite. If you want anything more aggressive (color, character, mid/side surgery), I will ask before doing it.

+How do I send my track?

Export your mix as a 24-bit WAV at the project sample rate. Leave at least -6 dBFS of headroom. No mastering on the export bus (no limiter, no clipping). Upload to WeTransfer / Dropbox / Drive and send the link via the contact form.

+What is the turnaround?

Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days from receiving the source. Rush (48 h) is available as an add-on. Revisions usually go out within 24 h.

+Can I learn from this?

Yes — that is exactly why written feedback is an add-on, not a paywall. I can flag what to revisit in the source mix so the next track lands closer on the first pass. If you want longer-form follow-up, see the Mentoring service.

+Do you master for vinyl cuts?

Yes. Add the Vinyl pre-master add-on and I will deliver a separate vinyl-friendly master alongside the streaming master — bass-mono, controlled sibilance, no over-limiting. I have cut 45+ records (Vyasa Discos, 5 Universos, Gilesku, P.U.N.C.H.I.S., FAFO, Verbreiten) and know the format.
