The Process

From rough mix to release-ready master

No sessions to book, no back-and-forth with an engineer. Here is exactly what happens between the moment you upload and the moment you are listening to a finished master.

How it works

Three steps. Start to finish.

Every master runs through a premium mastering signal chain, run locally on site.

01

Drop Your Mix

Upload your pre-master through an encrypted gateway. Nothing to install, no plugin to authorise, no DAW to keep open — a browser and a file is the entire requirement. Give it your mix the way you would hand it to a mastering engineer: headroom intact, nothing slammed into a limiter first. The chain has more to work with that way, and you will hear the difference.

On-Demand Signature Processing

Your track runs through the Signature Mastering chain — a real signal path, built by hand and refined over years of AAA trailer and sync work. Not a template, and not a model guessing at what loud is supposed to sound like. Most of what is sold as instant mastering is an algorithm approximating transients it does not understand, making the same decisions on every track you feed it. This is the opposite — fixed, deliberate, and voiced by Marc. If your material wants clarity over weight, Ultra Transparent is available as an alternate path.

Instant Master Delivery

The moment it is ready, it is yours. Play it in the browser to check it, then download — and an email goes out too, so you do not have to sit on the page waiting. Every master you run stays in your library, so re-downloading a track from three months ago is a click rather than a re-upload.

  • You receivea 24-bit/48 kHz WAV and a 24-bit/48 kHz AIFF of every master, yours to choose at download
  • Unlimited resubmissionsper track if it is not right
  • Unlimited 24/7on-demand submissions

Configure your sync deliverables

Every library, exactly how they need it.

Every library wants files their own way — their naming convention, their metadata, their loudness target. Set each one up once and every master you upload arrives ready to send. Nothing to rename, nothing to fix.

Set it once

One naming format and one loudness target for each library you pitch to. Add as many as you work with.

Then just choose

Pick the library when you upload. The master arrives named its way, tagged, and at its level — no re-upload, no re-master.

    Manage your library

    Every master you have ever run, still there.

    Nothing you master here disappears. Your whole catalogue stays in one place, searchable, in both formats, ready to pull down again the moment a supervisor asks for it — for as long as your subscription stays active.

    If you ever stop, you keep access for two weeks after your final month — long enough to take the whole catalogue with you.

    Find it without hunting

    Search your catalogue by title or by the library you delivered it to. A cue from eight months ago is a few keystrokes away, not a dig through an archive drive.

    Pull it down again, anytime

    Both the 24-bit/48 kHz WAV and the AIFF of every master stay available for re-download — no re-upload, no re-master, no charge. And if a mix needs another pass, upload the revised version as a fresh run. There is no limit on how many times.
