Track Stem Mastering (6 Stems)

Stem mastering is an intermediate service between standard mastering and full mixing. It works with up to 6 grouped stems (for example: drums, bass, synths, vocals, percussion, effects). This allows us to correct internal balances and optimize the mix before the mastering stage, achieving a more polished and balanced result. Ideal when the mix is not fully finalized but does not require a complete mixdown.

Included:

• Mastering from up to 6 grouped stems
• Processing with professional reference equipment
• Final delivery in 24-bit WAV, ready for digital distribution and club playback
• 1 minor revision included at no extra cost

Delivery Time
5–7 business days from the confirmation of the order.

Submission requirements

• Upload all files in a single ZIP.
• Maximum of 6 stems, exported in 24-bit WAV or AIFF.
• Stems must be clearly named and grouped (e.g., “Drums”, “Bass”, “Synths”, “Vox”, “FX”…).
• Peak level: -6 dBFS maximum, no limiter or processing on the master bus.
• Export at the original sample rate (minimum 44.1 kHz).
• Disorganized projects or ungrouped/random stems will not be accepted.
