Hybrid Stem Mastering gives you more control than stereo mastering without going back to a full mix. By working from grouped stems, we can refine energy, balance and impact in the areas that matter most — especially low-end, drums, vocals and musical space.

This is the right choice when your mix is close, but not fully locked. You send grouped stems plus references, and we shape the record into a tighter, deeper and more release-ready master with stronger translation for both club systems and streaming platforms.

FAQ

How many stems should I choose?

Choose the stem structure that best matches your project. For most tracks, 3–6 grouped stems is the best starting point.

What exactly should I send?

Send grouped stems in WAV or AIFF, preferably 32-bit. All files should start at 0:00 and be the same length. Include 1–2 references, your release goal and loudness preference.

Do I need to remove the limiter?

Yes. Export your stems clean, without limiting on the master. If needed, include the limited version as a reference.

How do revisions work?

Revisions are unlimited for 7 days and apply to the same stem package. A new export is treated as a new version.

When does turnaround start?

Turnaround starts once we receive your files and completed brief.

What do I receive at the end?

You receive the finished master, optimized from your stem package, plus the selected release-ready file formats.
