You don’t need to know exactly what mastering does before you send a track. Most producers don’t, and that’s completely fine. Send it over and I’ll tell you honestly what it needs.
What you get
The last step before your track goes out
Mastering balances the sound, sets the loudness and makes your track hold up on every system, from earbuds to a festival stage. It’s the difference between a good mix and a finished record.
I’ve been releasing hard dance and electronic music since 2000, on labels like Kontor, Rebl and Q-dance, and I’ve worked with artists like Charly Lownoise and T-Spoon. Because I’m a producer first, I hear your track the way you do.
New to mastering? That’s fine. Send your track and I’ll tell you honestly what it needs.

How it works
From mix to finished master
-
Tell me what you want
Send reference tracks and a short story about what to pay attention to while mastering.
-
Send your files
Send your final mix, or your stems for stem mastering. WAV, 44.1kHz 24-bit or higher.
-
Work begins
Handled personally, not passed on to anyone else. The master comes back in about 4 working days. Progress update included. You'll receive a status check midway through, before final delivery.
-
Delivery
Delivered in 44kHz 24-bit unless agreed otherwise, with revisions included.
-
Stem mastering is customizable
The mentioned price is for 6 stems. It's possible to adjust the service to fit what you need.
-
Stem mastering is not mixing
I can't control everything in a stem master. If things need to change beyond balance and level, that's a mixing job, head to the mixing page for that service.
Frequently asked
Why does my kick lose punch when I make the track louder?
Because the limiter reacts to the kick. When the kick and the bass peak together, pushing the level squashes both, and the punch is the first thing to go. The fix is usually in how the low end is balanced before the limiter, not in a different plugin. That's what I work on, and with stem mastering I can do it per part.
How much headroom should I leave in my mix?
A clean, unclipped mix matters more than an exact number. Peaks somewhere around 3 to 6 dB below zero is a practical target. If your mix is already clipping, tell me. I'll say honestly whether it can be saved.
Should I leave my master limiter on?
If you can, take off any limiter that only adds volume. If your sound depends on it, send two versions, one with and one without, and tell me why it's there.
What if my mix isn't ready for mastering?
I'll tell you before I start. If the problem is something a master can't fix, I'll say so and point you to what will help, so you don't pay for a master that was never going to work.
Stereo or stem mastering, which one do I need?
If your mix feels right, go stereo. If one part fights the rest, like a kick that's too dominant or a bass that sits slightly off, go stem. Stem mastering gives me up to 6 groups to balance, but it can't fix everything. If sounds need real editing, that's mixing.
Will you change the sound of my track?
No. Your sound and your choices stay yours. I make the track hold up next to your references. I don't rebuild it.
Can I send reference tracks?
Yes, please. Send two or three tracks you want to stand next to and tell me what you like about them. It saves time and keeps us on the same page.
Will my track be too loud for Spotify and other platforms?
Streaming services turn loud tracks down to their own level. Hardstyle is made to be loud, so I make sure the master holds up after that and still hits on a big system. It won't sound crushed on a phone, and it still works on a festival stage.
How many revisions do I get?
Three, for both stereo and stem mastering. A revision is feedback on the master, like "a bit less top end" or "more kick". If you change the mix itself, send me the new file and tell me what changed.
Do you do the work yourself?
Yes. Every track is handled by me personally and isn't passed on to anyone else. You also get a status update halfway through, so you're never left waiting in the dark.
How long does it take and what do I get back?
About 4 working days. Your master comes back as a 24-bit WAV unless we agree otherwise.
