Mastering
The last step before your track is really ready
Looking for a mastering service in Voorburg? Mastering is what makes a track hold up everywhere, from a phone speaker to a festival rig. It’s often the difference between a track that sounds “almost there” and one that’s genuinely ready to release.
Mastering service based in Voorburg since 2000 · 100+ professional releases · Hardstyle, hardcore, Big Room, techno, EDM, trance & film music
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.
Mastering vs. Stem Mastering
What’s the actual difference?
Mastering
Works from your final stereo mix, one file in, one master out. This covers most releases: it adds loudness, polish and consistency so the track holds up next to anything else on a playlist or in a set.
Stem Mastering
Works from separated groups instead of one file, drums, bass, synths, vocals, up to six stems. That gives extra room to balance the track properly if something still feels slightly off after mixing, before it gets loud and finished.

Not sure which one you need? Standard mastering is the right call for most finished mixes. If you’re not fully happy with the balance yet, or want the mastering stage to fix a few things the mix couldn’t, stem mastering gives that extra control.
