Mastering Rates And Media Formats
The online mastering rates are based on the five classic media types that remain dominant in the digital music world. For your project you can choose between the mastering of an individual song, a standard play (SP) single release, an extended play (EP) single, a standard long play album (LP) or an extended long play album (ELP) release. The media types are being defined on the grounds of maximum track count and maximum total playing time. Whatever hits the top mark first defines the medium. The details and respective mastering rates can be found below. If you have a compilation for mastering the identical scheme applies.
As a quick example, if you have 3 songs for mastering with a total length of 17 minutes, you would be looking for a standard play single release (SP). The same would apply, if you have 4 songs with a total playing time of 25 minutes, but if your 4 songs would run for 29 minutes, you would be looking into an extended play single release (EP). Should you be unsure which media type applies for your project, simply get in touch with us!
In case your project does not fall anywhere near the classic formats, such as a release with 2 songs at 15 minutes each, please contact us for a custom quote.

TRUE PROFESSIONAL MASTERING |
|
Why settle for second best and pay hundreds for a job you almost could have done yourself? There are semi-professional mastering studios on the market offering far from professional quality. Instead get true professional mastering done by a commercial facility at rates not too far from those of budget studios. See below why we are the best choice for pro mastering. |
|
Our mastering studios feature a combination of selected high-end analog mastering gear, digital outboard processors and high resolution workstations, as well as super-sensitive speaker systems placed in acoustically treated neutral listening environments, which allow us to fully concentrate on the actual music material and perform best at mastering. |
|
HI-END VINTAGE ANALOG GEAR |
|
Vintage analog gear still provides sonic charateristics unmatched in the digital world. To gain this analog warmth for today's digital recordings, the specific sonic characteristics of vintage pieces of gear are used to shape the sound, including such legends as the Neve 33609 and 2254, Pultec EQP-1A and MEQ-5, Chandler TG1, API 2500 and others. |
|
PRECISION DIGITAL PROCESSING |
|
The digital world allows for precise editing and processing and allows for extensively tightening the sound. Although we do not believe in "louder is better", we can bring up the perceived loudness quite a bit, while preserving the natural dynamics using digital outboard processors like the TC M6000 and Waves L2, the Waves L316, MaxxVolume, Massey L2007 and others. |
|
HIGHLY QUALIFIED ENGINEERS |
|
All engineers at SUPREMEMASTERING™ hold a formal university degree in either Recording Arts or Audio Technology. We strongly believe it is essential to actually KNOW what effects specific processing has on the music material, as many problems become apparent and audible only later during or even after the duplication process. Then its too late. |
|
YEARS OF ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE |
|
Our mastering engineers have worked with the best and learned from the best. Some have worked on projects with well known producers such as Mark Opitz (AC/DC, INXS, KISS) or Jim Bonnefond (Savage Garden, Kool and the Gang, George Benson). Our engineer's experience comes from years in the music industry and constant learning. |
|
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER BASE |
|
At SUPREMEMASTERING™ we have worked with artists from almost all continents, including North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. We are looking forward to meet and work with artists from South America and Africa. Even though each of our engineers has its preferred mastering genre, we are all open to the music genres found across the globe. |
|
ALL-INCLUSIVE MASTERING SERVICE |
|
A unique feature you won't find anywhere else is our all-inclusive mastering approach. We believe it is fantastic having all the choice and not paying extra for each addon as you would at other mastering studios. You choose the format, how to receive the masters and whether to receive multiple formats, no matter if you prefer downloads, a CD or DDP master. |
|
MIX / STEM MASTERING INCLUDED |
|
With the digital age comes the flexibility to mix entire projects in a home studio. As the acoustics and listening environment usually ain't top notch, you will love the idea of having the mastering engineer adjust the mix for you to suit the majority of listing environments. By providing us with stems or bus / submixes we can prepare the final mix for you. |
|
UNLIMITED VERSIONS INCLUDED |
|
Different versions of each song are often required for further music licensing purposes, those versions usually include vocal up/down mixes, tv mix, instrumental and vocal only. Usually each version is being charged extra by most mastering studios. At SUPREMEMASTERING™ unlimited versions of each song are included. We highly encourage you to deliver multiple versions. |
|
UNLIMITED REVISIONS INCLUDED |
|
Even though we ask you to provide details about your preferred mastering style and music references that we can use as guides for mastering, there might be differing opinions about the sound. As it is our ambition to realize your music vision, we will revise each master as we see fit until you are fully satisfied and simply love the result. |
|
RELIABLE SAFE ONLINE MASTERING |
|
Our online mastering service or eMastering service has been designed to meet the demands of our customers. We have put great effort into creating a very easy to use, fast and reliable web interface for you to get from your mix to the final master in three quick and easy steps in almost no time, but with the assurance to receive full quality and support all the way through. |
|
As online mastering allows us to be flexible on scheduling studio on- and offtimes, we are able to process mastering orders usually within 5-7 business days, depending on studio availability, project size and complexity. A priority service is available on request, but involves additional costs. For details and our current turnaround times please check with us. |
|

It is our ambition to best meet your demands for sound and quality. |
